About God of War

God of War is the sequel to God of War III as well as a continuation of the canon God of War chronology. Unlike previous installments, this game focuses on Norse mythology and follows an older and more seasoned Kratos and his son Atreus in the years since the third game. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.

    Yeah the camera thing again. Every thread ends up here eventually, doesn't stop me from replaying it though.

    GlitchPilot

    62% de victoires, chez moi c'est surtout que je le relance dès qu'il croise Skyrim en duel, je vote sans réfléchir. Contre Witcher 3 j'hésite plus.

    Océane_1987

    La caméra fixe, enfin plutôt le plan séquence continu, ça donne cette même sensation de combat un peu contraint dont tu parles.

  2. Laisha_1985

    Not sure this deserves top 61 honestly, the combat loop gets repetitive fast and the puzzles are just filler between cutscenes for me.

    GhostKid27

    Les puzzles filler, j'ai jamais vu ça comme ça, plutôt comme des moments calmes entre deux affrontements plus intenses.

    Arcade_Maillard

    Filler, vraiment ? (perso j'ai jamais vu un puzzle casser un combat) c'est pas plutôt le rythme général qui pose problème ?

    ArcadePhoenix2

    Franchement les puzzles ne m'ont jamais dérangé, je les prenais comme des pauses entre deux combats, un peu comme une respiration dans ma soirée.

  3. GerhardByte

    good game overall, combat feels great once you unlock more skills but the pacing in the first few hours is slow, took me a while to get hooked honestly

    GlitchSniper98

    Moi c'est l'inverse, ma manette a fini par terre pendant un combat contre les débuts un peu mous.

    Save_Waters

    I'm biased, I adored the slow start, my friends all say I'm wrong and I keep replaying it anyway.

    GlitchOwl95

    Trois heures pour décoller, ça me parle, moi c'était plutôt une soirée entière avant de vraiment accrocher, mais une fois dedans j'ai plus lâché la manette, toi ça a été long combien de temps en vrai ?

    rowe_trystan

    tbh the combat carries it even when the pacing drags, anyone else feel that early game just needed a trim?

    Replying to Coop_Ferrer

    Ese ritmo lento del inicio me acompañó justo cuando empezaba un trabajo nuevo y llegaba agotado cada noche, así que agradecí no tener que pensar mucho al principio.

    Coop_Ferrer

    El ritmo lento del inicio también me pasó a mí, aunque comparado con Dark Souls III al menos aquí sabes siempre a dónde ir.

    Faivre4

    Contre Skyrim, ce jeu propose bien moins de liberté mais un rythme de combat beaucoup plus tenu.

  4. Arnaude_40

    Ma sœur regardait par-dessus mon épaule en critiquant chaque décision que je prenais, franchement épuisant.

    CoopRider2008

    Les sœurs critiques, on connaît tous ça !!

    Bien construido, un poco frío en algunos tramos. No lo pondría tan alto.
