Hey everyone, I have just completed the whole story or god of war 4 yesterday itself. Just curious that should I revolve around and explore more or switching to any other game would be a better idea?
Is there anything I can do when an enemy starts blocking my attacks? Not the guys with the Onyx shields, I mean regular enemies seem to just start blocking my attacks and there's nothing I can do but just wait for them to stop. Did I miss something? Is there a move I can use to break their block?
Backstory:
I know I'm really late to the party, but I recently found myself with no interesting games to play, so I decided to dig into my childhood collection. I remembered the PSP games I played at my grandparents' house, even though it was only about five times.
One game that stuck with me was God of War: Chains of Olympus, which I actually finished. Nowadays, I love to platinum and 100% games on my PS5, even if some aren’t as fun as others.
I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore gamer—I prefer easy to medium difficulty games, most of which are from my childhood. While Chains of Olympus isn't available on the PS5, the original God of War is, and since it was only $15 and I've completed everything else in my library, I decided to grab it.
My review:
My Review:
I was completely unprepared for how different and well-crafted this game turned out to be. At $15, it felt like an absolute steal—I've played games priced at $15 that felt like $5, and others at $50 that felt like $15. Saying I loved every minute of this game is an understatement. Kratos was just as I remembered, but this time, his story of honoring his wife and preparing his son for a journey had me glued to the screen.
I managed to 100% the game on normal difficulty, which is a challenge for me, but it never felt like a grind. Instead, it felt rewarding, as if I was genuinely helping someone—or even myself—for tougher battles ahead.
When I say I'm not a hardcore gamer, I mean I'm more of a button masher in combat and a guide reader for puzzles.
In this game, mastering moves and applying them in my next attempt was crucial. I had to sit up and really focus, which I loved.
As for the puzzles, I had to leverage what I learned previously and think creatively. It was rarely about just finding a combination; it was more about using my abilities in every possible way, often requiring me to reconsider my approach (which was the solution to many puzzles I initially overthought).
I didn’t even miss Kratos’ blades at first because wielding his axe was so impressive! But when I finally saw the blades, I couldn't help but scream!
I felt a real connection to Atreus and every NPC I encountered. I cared about their requests and genuinely enjoyed their dialogue—each spirit felt like a true person.
Maybe it’s just the games I’ve played, but the last title I loved this much was Okami, which isn’t exactly comparable, but it’s the closest I can reference for this masterpiece.
I explored and experienced everything the game has to offer, and my partner noticed how much I enjoyed it, so they got me God of War Ragnarök.
I won’t go into too much detail since it’s 2:30 AM and this game is a bit older, but I wanted to share my experience as a “new” gamer in the community!
TL;DR: I really liked it!
Can I play GoW that came out before GoW 4 on PS5? If so, which ones can I play?
Is Chaurli from Vanaheim? I've been seeing small turtles that look like him in the jungles and the crater.
Don't mind the mess I have played the main game about 6 times now but I want to play Valhalla dlc. Unfortunately my WiFi/internet no longer works
SPOILERS FOR TRANSFORMERS ONE!!!!!
They even sound alot alike.
I'm on PC, and honestly I started the game and in Midgard I got 55-60FPS on low settings, with native options, it was good enough, and mostly stable, so I kept playing it, but when I reached Svartalfheim I started getting very low FPS like 30-35, I changed my settings to balanced, and sacrificed some visual quality, and started getting better FPS, but it still gives 30-45FPS mostly and in some places 30-60fps, and rarely 50-60FPS, etc, I have read a lot of people having same problems with Svartalfheim, so I wonder how long this realm will take & other realms have FPS problems like this one? I will decide to play the game or not according to these, thanks for answer.
I'm so excited! I'm 37 years old and this is the first game that I complete till the end 😅 it was amazing! I finished it on easy, but still enjoyed it very much!
I’m trying to play on Steam deck but it’s been crashing almost every hour. Any help?
Hello guys, i'm back, a little well rested. The other day i posted about an atreus tattoo i was getting and was worried about the placement of some runes, and it seems some of you really liked how it was going on so i thought it would be nice to come back to show off the final result.
In total it was 16 hours in 2 sessions, it was handpoke and she was still getting the hang of it so that's why it took so damn long, but it was fully worth it. the experience wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be (this is my first tattoo ever), until we reacheed the finger rings those sucker hurts like a bitch, she had me borderline on tears but i managed to survive, im not getting a tattoo on a finger ever again.
At the end the misalignment on the runes down the arm kinda doesn't matter anymore, when you look at it it's so much happening it gets opaqued, i'll leave it as it is i don't want to risk ruining it. oh and also i added a little something so it is not just another Atreus tattoo, the red runes read "be better" (i took a random runes translator online so who knows what i really wrote there but i'm not meeting any nordic historian anytime soon so whathever). a little memento for me (going thru something) and also another reference from the game.
If anyone is going to get this tattoo too i highly recommend adding any detail in red, it makes the whole thing look so much better, like it's more sparkly, vivid, idk
I think this is the one battle he cannot win
hi i would like a Kratos tattoo does anyone have any type thanks
I tried searching through the group to not make a meaningless post but seems like everything is outdated.
I recently bought a PS5 and saw that GOW 1 2 and 3 are available ons PS Premium. But I remember Ghost of Sparta being such a good game (Chain of Olympus too). Where these game ever on PS Plus? Or is there any way to play the 2 games on PS5? I really want to play the whole GOW series again.
Thanks!
I replayed god of war 3 I think a 100 times from now, but I noticed in some cutscenes and even when Kratos screams in battle, his voice is deeper compared to the other games, is it just me? Or maybe they wanted to make his voice deeper because he’s aged a lot since the first games ? Let me know your thoughts
