God tier
God of War: Ascension may have been entertaining, but it showed that Kratos had lost the Midas touch. Sony Santa Monica’s reluctance to experiment with a formula that had already been recycled five times prior left one of PlayStation’s best-known protagonists in a precarious position: was there even a way back for the Ghost of Sparta?...

Guide God of War - How to Create Multiple Game Saves
Don't lose progress
God of War is an incredible game, but if there’s one criticism that can be levelled at Sony Santa Monica’s latest, it’s the release’s save system. While it’s perfectly adequate if you only plan to play on a single save, you can seriously risk losing progress if you start a New Game. So how do you create multiple game...

About The Game
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus behind him, Kratos now lives in the realm of Norse deities and monsters.
It’s in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive, and not only teach his son to do the same… but also prevent him from repeating the Ghost of Sparta’s bloodstained mistakes.
This staggering reimagining of God of War combines all the hallmarks of the iconic series – brutal combat, epic boss fights and breathtaking scale – and fuses them with a powerful and moving narrative that re-establishes Kratos’ world.

i always had love all of the God of War games and as far as this one goes I am going to pre-order this game...
can't wait! i want it now!!!
I've played it through quite a few time including end game content. I have to say im very happy with the story line and battle system; To a small point. The failure in this game is the lack of speedy or timely blocking from Kratos. Dodging/Rolling is very slow to respond as well. I have spent the last 4 days on the Queen Valkyrie and no closer to killing her than I was when i started this game a week ago. The biggest disappointment comes from being level 8 with all Invaldi Gear, the best Talisman; simply put i have the best of everything and I still can not take this Queen Valkyrie down. AND THIS IS ON EASY MODE!!! Quite frankly, the only decent part of this game is the story line, certainly not worth what I paid for this game. I do have a strat guide i purchased with the game, however It was only useful during the story play through and the Favors part of the game. Other than that, this game kind of bombed out. Out of 5 stars for this game I'd give it maybe a 2 1/2 for the failed blocking and dodging that are so slow to respond. I hope if they come out with another God of War that includes being able to get into Asgard, these things will be fixed and the combat flow will be more timely responsive.
I bought the game the day of release....I'm still playing!!!! Only because (as much as I've been waiting years for this) i just dont feel this is "kratos",maybe im old (43) but ive played all GOW games and I'm struggling to get into this,it just doesn't feel the same,visually n story wise it's fantastic but it just feels like it's been over complicated and just doesn't have that smoothness that it's predasecer had,I'm desperate to love this game and say it's PS4's benchmark but I have to admit.....uncharted 4 is still there n GOW3 is still better
Love love loveeeeeeee this game! Wished they made certain things easier though
