One of the best video games I've ever played, if not THE best. It has an engaging combat, it's fast, it's challenging but never to the point of it being unfair, it took a different approach from the overly repetitive combat of the previous games; need I say more?
The story is innovative, heartbreaking, it's original it's something I've never seen before, it not only gives kratos very genuine growth that fits his character very well (or at least at the end of god of war 3), overall it's masterclass storytelling.
And the graphics, just play the game and you'll know.
This is the game that even the most casual gamer can enjoy and have a blast with, but for die hard God Of War fans who understand kratos' character, love towards his family, and his growth in 3, this will be a marvelous masterpiece.
but for an edgy teenager who just played the first 3 and when someone says Kratos is the protagonist and they (without second thought) just say "That's why this guy is wrong", he would say Kratos would never talk nice to anyone, or those who have made a life's determination to never talk nice on anything without even playing it, what are they around 10.
making fun of idiots aside the game is definitely 10/10
it's right up there with the last of us, assassin's creed 2, GTA San Andreas, so on and so forth.
