4/5 ★ – Gauntlet's review of God of War.

This was my first full playthrough of a God of War game and it was a great time. A Greek god building a life in Norse realm just sounds real cool. Through out the adventure I stopped many times just to look around and enjoy the masterfully crafted scenery this game offers. From frozen mountain tops to scorched earth mountains it was real easy to just indulge in the visuals. The music didn’t show too often for me but when it did, it was a pleasant sound, i just hoped for more of it. Action! This games combat is great! A lot of great combinations to tie together that feel so satisfying to land. Even when you don’t quite land your combo you can recover and back into the actions seamlessly. When the fights got more difficult I found myself customizing my abilities and enhancements to suite that specific encounter, so there is plenty of customization you can do on your stats. Finally the story of this game is original, almost seems to blend with the classic epics of the ancient world like if we were discovering new story’s from Norse mythology.
