God of War (for PlayStation 4)

6

God-slayer Kratos returns to intense, bloody combat in this action-adventure reboot that brings dramatic changes to the God of War formula.

1Ambushed

It is easy to lose track of enemies and take needless damage. You need to constantly move and reposition Kratos to keep enemies in focus if you don't want to get hit.

2Bandaged History

Kratos wears his scars proudly, but he is deliberately cautious about his identity within the Norse realms. Despite being a god-slaying deity, his past endeavors are a very touchy subject.

3Facing an Ogre

Large enemies, like Ogres, have hyper armor against most attacks and will not easily stagger. They are also freakishly strong and can deal serious damage, so you need to play safely at all times.

4Fantastic Architecture

As in the older games, the new God of War incorporates fantasy into its world and structures to give the setting a wondrous, yet slightly realistic visual flair.

5Impressive Vistas

Even without the fantasy touches, the environments in God of War are expansive, beautiful to look at, and fun to explore.

6Stunning Lighting

God of War has superb lighting and makes excellent use of shading techniques and reflections to make every area in the game stand out.
