    God of War is a special game. This reimagining of the famous PlayStation franchise elevates the series in unexpected ways, without forgetting the core tenets that made Kratos a fan-favourite to begin with. This is a sprawling single player epic with an abundance of secrets and a storyline that keeps you hooked from start-to-finish. While it borrows liberally from other action adventure greats, its unique combat and outstanding artistic direction separate it from its immediate peers. A truly impressive achievement.

    Even though God of War may have lost its status as a PlayStation exclusive with its PC release, we firmly believe that delving into this new market is a great step for the franchise. This way Sony introduces some of its massive IPs to more gamers, who will eventually grow attached to these iconic characters as well.

    God of War (PS4)

    The God of War universe dropping Greek Mythology in favor of Norse Mythology is a welcome change for me but along with this switching of setting came a change up in genre which was far less welcome. I'm not gonna pretend that throwing my axe at enemies and calling for it back over and over wasn't satisfying on some level but I still much prefer how the old God of War games controlled. But while the gameplay was a step down for me the story was a massive step up as I have never cared for Kratos or any other character in the franchise as much as i did here. Atreus can be annoying at times and some of his actions are obvious plot devices but he is still a complex character that I wanna keep an eye on and I'm definitely excited to see where this franchise goes when I finally play God of War Ragnarok.
