  • The God of War series has brought us a world full of scale and brutal violence, and my new God of War review takes a look at how this game not only refreshes the series but turns it into a mature experience with a lot of depth.

    The most surprising thing of God of War 4 was that you are now a Dad of War. Fighting along side your son Atreus, Kratos is on a solemn mission to scatter his beloved wife's ashes. But the Norse gods know of his identity and once again he must take his fate into his bloodied hands. There's so much to say about this game. The God of War gameplay is very refreshing compared to the previous versions and there's so much to explore. The maps are huge and stunning, the music swells and adds to somber and epic moments alike.

Instead of once like you did in the video against the Valkyrie queen..... Also wait what? 4-5 god of war games like this to come? Who said that? WE NEED A SOURCE!!!!!!!

    One of my... absolute favorite things in the game: The stories on the boat. It's not just the metaphors used or the knowledge obtained, but how, once near a dock, they had the foresight to make the characters go "Oh. We'll continue this later.", then, once back on the water... THEY DO! And that appeals so much to my "Don't wanna miss a THING!"-mentality. Plus, it keeps the boat rides from feeling too boring!
    Oh, and... no fixed loading?... *kisses fingers* Bless you, devs.

    Yeah, those Valkyrie fights are no joke. I usually use the Blades of Chaos over the Leviathan Axe, but I still used both repeatedly throughout the fights, using all four runes the moment they were off cooldown, and constantly switching arrow types for that one Valkyrie that summons multiple other enemies with her. It takes an insane amount of pattern recognition, muscle memory, timing, and just sheer grit. Really fun though to have actually been able to have finally beaten her though.

      My first valkyrie was kara and boy oh boy did I not realise that she was far from the easiest. I fought about 2 valkyries before i gave up and decided to hunt them down later, so when I got my mist armour I went ahead and did so. They actually became pretty easy (I was on balanced so that probably had something to do with it). I even took down the valkyrie queen on my first try after watching a dozen videos of other people taking it down in 5 mins, or 38 seconds, or on GMGOW without dmg so I'm kinda proud about that

    Oh I still remember playing this game. It had me hooked up to my PS4.
    So refreshing to see a good Single Player game, with enough exploration and Sidestuff to do, a very good combat system and a story with character developement that always wanted me to see what happens next.
    And in the end, the ultimate test of your skills, concentration while fighting the valkyries - especially the Queen, she was one hell of a fight, where you had to remember all of the skills of the former ones, and one mistake cost you quite alot of HP, losing focus for just a moment basically killed you. But it was rewarding as hell if you beat her.

    One of my favorite parts about the entire game was the HUD. So simple yet so fucking beautiful. All you had was the absolute essential stuff and nothing else. And it worked beautifully. It only showed up during combat so you could experience the rest of the game with no filter or any distractions. I'm not a person that usually cares for immersion, but man.... this game does it absolutely perfectly.
    On top that, they give the option of disabling specific HUD elements or completely tuning off the whole thing. Which I did in NG+.

    The Tale of Atreus
    All Spartans are great Warriors. They train from birth, their lives were discipline, duty, battle and death. Life was Grim and they greeted it Grimly. But Atreus of Sparta was unlike the rest of them. He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He was Happy. He inspired others to hope, that though they were machines of war, yet their was humanity in them... Goodness.
    When the day came for him to lay down his life in battle, his sacrifice saved countless others and turned the tide of the battle in their favour. The General carried him home on his shield alone, and buried him with all the honours of Spartan Custom. His memory was a comfort in dark times...
