Valyrious Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Gamespot's review is funny: The Good: Impeccable presentation The father-son dynamic enhances combat and makes Kratos surprisingly relatable Convincing writing that humanizes the extraordinary supporting cast Kratos' agility and deep repertoire of techniques make him more fun to control than ever Midgard is fantastic to look at and filled with worthwhile side quests Expertly transforms and builds upon the series' established gameplay The Bad: N/A 9/10.

You'll have to take a silver bullet and risk reading at your discretion. I'm not going to read them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valyrious Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not going to post this in the review, but worth a read regardless.https://twitter.com/jeffcannata/status/984325749996847104/photo/1 "I don't usually give scores for video games, but God of War is a 10/10 on every scale I can imagine. It is one of the finest crafted single player games of all time. The kind of game you buy a new TV for, to experience it in the best possible way. God of War raises the bar for what video games can do. It does everything so well. It is the best looking game I've ever played, with the best combat, and the best storytelling. It has satisfying progression, and puzzle solving, and exploration, world building and characters." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluziion90 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Is there any info already available about the trophies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlliet Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) It`s a masterpiece, what else to say? It`s just a shame about the trophies though. It`s an easy plat & no difficulty trophies. I hoped it would be at least very rare in terms of rarity. Edited April 12, 2018 by Lowlliet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltideroll157 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I didn't think I could be anymore hyped for this game especially since I have been a fan of god of war since day 1 but dear god seeing these scores and what people are saying about makes the wait even worse...

Xel Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Lowkey expected it be around 83 on metacritic, but this is surprising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valyrious Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Suffice to say, it's not the 98 metacritic that I personally was hoping for, but it's clearly a masterpiece. Makes me want to rub it in those people's faces that thought the combat was a departure from the series. Maybe that's what the series needed. A fresh breath of air and a new beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Looks like everyone's loving this game. Then again, was going to get it even if it didn't receive high praise. But it's good to know that it's not a flop regardless. Can't wait till next Friday now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) No surprise reviews are so high. Hopefully the fans agree. Edited April 12, 2018 by Spyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) I can recommend this review. This and EasyAllies are probably the only ones you need to watch, imo. But it's an excellent review nonetheless. "Game of the Generation" sounds like click bait, but at this point, I won't be surprised.

Happy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I genuinely did not expect this from looking at the footage we’ve gotten so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmg_ps Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Even with average results I would not regret my preorder. But this just made me anxious to play it. It’s rare to feel this sudden hype! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This is great to hear, and I say eat it to the people who thought this was too big of a departure from the series. will definitely be grabbing this sometime this year, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizonaES Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 In Eurogamer.es they give it a "Imprescindible" ,which is the best rating they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvarezPT Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Reviews sound really good, I might actually buy this day 1. Shame trophies are easy :/ was really looking forward to a meaningfull plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Guardian (5/5) - "God of War’s world is enormous – set aside at least 30 hours to explore it – but it is devoid of the busy work that plagues similarly ambitious games. Every diversion from the main story is an adventure rather than a task, making exploration worth your while for more than the treasure; some of the best stories here are hidden." Not posting in OP despite the perfect score, because I don't think this game needs nothing but perfect scores displayed. However, I enjoyed this little tidbit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
