We need more good single player games like this I'm tired of shooters
you sir best comment of the years, i had been searching for years to find another game similar to GOD OF WAR but so far NONE!!!!!!!
Some modern day tony hawk or Dave Mirra bmx would be stellar
Did u ever try darksiders
Its pretty much the Same as good of war
@@julenkedasch4437 darksiders is not even close to be as good as god of war and i own all the games. darksiders is more like a poor mans god of war.
Zelda is pretty damn good too. And Horizon Zero Dawn.
Burning through this game is a mistake. Take your time. There is a lot of great stuff in there.
I almost only did the main story (I was very thorough, though) on the 2nd easiest difficulty and it still took me 35 hours. The game is very difficult even on that setting but it's so damn satisfying.
MrStensnask This game is basically a Souls game so I feel you on the difficulty. I think that’s another reason to go slow and do the side stuff - you get more powerful.
I agree. Now I'm left with Muspelheim and Niflheim and even though they're great I can't really use the things they give me for anything. After you complete the main story, do the favours and labours the realms become scarcely populated, sadly.
MrStensnask I’ve been playing on second hardest difficulty going through story to unlock areas then exploring side areas and fights before progressing further into the story. I have a habit getting side tracked with optional stuff 9 out of 10 times lol. Heavily reminds me of dark souls and I absolutely am in love with it.
MrStensnask I agree which is why I hope for new game +
Never played a god war game ever . Never was into these style of games . Watched someone stream it , gave it a shot and after the 1st 20 mins I was hooked
same this was my first too
My first also and im hooked
You have to play the old ones to really understand the battle that is waging within Kratos
Same. I never played any gow game before this but knew the entire story timeline lol
I have played the games, even read the books, comics.. but im kinda curious how u newcomers saw the gow4 experience.
I imagine its quite interesting seeing this God struggling with his kid and his own past thats just hinted at in the game..
Then u go to youtube to watch the whole story and youre like "who t f am i playing as here.."
My wife gave me this as an early birthday gift. Best wife ever.
BoyNamedSue4 Marry her. Oh wait...
Myself gave myself this as an early birthday present. Funny thing is my birthday is 7 months away. Best random gift ever.
Does she want a second husband?
BoyNamedSue4 Good for you man!! Sounds like you lucked out with her. Share the wealth and let me get up in that. We’re all friends here.
My wife told me that I need to get out of the house and go for a walk because I’ve been playing for too long
Another fun tip.
Once you unlock the “fast travel” you can activate it to heal to full health. Then just press O without choosing the location to stay where you are
Brian Eckert badass. Sweet. Thanks
SHIT! :O
Woah, THANK YOU.
Life saver
See THIS is a useful tip that the game doesnt tell you. Pretty sure the tutorial told me I could regen health through rage the minute I was able to use it.
Another tip, keep upgrading Atreus' arrows! He helps so much throughout the gameplay and makes fights/challenges more manageable with swarm of enemies. You don't know how many times he saved Kratos life🙌🏾
Thank you thank you
yeah he's a life saver I always upgrade his skill tree before mine. its cheaper too
this game will be remembered for ages....I urge even PS4 haters to try this game. The moment you get past "hello old friend" trophy....game shifts gear.
Manoj Varughese I just got to that part. I already love the game, but now it opens us much more. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
eventualltnone console will rise in the future consoles will be integrated with tvs
I just did and man was he holding back. Unstuck in the underworld fighting the giant soul keeper. He shifts too fast. How do I kill him.
@@murderddoll dodge and block a lot, as soon as he shifts wait for about .5 seconds and DODGE... OR BLOCK ( I think it's blockable). Also, with ogres you should always spam all your runic attacks, and use Atraeus's light arrows until he is stunned, and then spam r2
The blades
All the people hating on this game haven't even played it. it makes no sense
we have a proverb in our country that says : when a cat does not reach the piece of meat it says it's stinky
TheEliteNinja there arent any
I have not seen anybody hating on this. I've seen people not liking it as much as everyone else, but nobody "hating" on it
Ben K If they have an XBOX 😂😂😂😂 ps4 ftw
TheEliteNinja exactly
This game FOR SURE just set set the bar very high for games and im excited for new games with this much detail and effort they took to actually make a good game instead of just a quick 60$ scam for a shit game with a flashy trailer
This game didn't set the bar. It is the bar.
jake sullivan Yah! if the camera in combat was improved it would be a truly epic game.
jake sullivan red dead 2 will hit the mark and so will cyberpunk 2077 whenever that drops
Pat Flynn i hope so cause these past couple of years gaming has been OK at best (for me) lol IK red dead 2 will be fantastic
CEWIIH the camera is fine. I take on like 6 enemies at once. You can 180° turn to you know right?
Quick tip: hard and annoying enemies like Revenants, Ice Reavers, Tatzelwurms and the werewolf-things (can't remember their name) are fairly easy to take out by using only your fists and Atreus' blue arrows. It stuns the hell outta them and gets you quickly to the red, R3-execution move. In any case, you should always use Atreus' attacks ALL THE TIME during fights. Makes things so much easier.
MrStensnask This comment is more useful than anything in the video above.
Thanks, man.
Personally think the lightning ones are better
They're better for damage but the blue arrows are made to stun and that's what brings the red stun bar on an enemy up the quickest. When you're doing challenges in Muspelheim you'll see how effective the blue arrows are :)
MrStensnask I died to those wormy boys and the tip said use electric arrows
I can’t believe it took me so long to get into this game. It’s been out for four years! I already love it and can’t wait to pick up the next one
Working 14 hr days means I’m literally crawling through this masterpiece.
Sean Stewart trucker?
I hear ya. I get like one day to game and a few hours during the week if I don't pass out after I eat. Looks like I'll be in this game for awhile
The fast travel portal restores your health when you activate it. Don’t even have to travel through just activate it and you’ll get all your health back so that’s pretty useful
That almost sounds like a glitch
I don't think I've ever once even tried taking out Nightmares with my axe. For some reason it just always seemed so obvious that Atreus was ideal for that task. So it came as a surprise to me to hear how much people hate Nightmares like they're one of the hardest enemies in the game, when they've never posed hardly any problem for me whatsoever.
The axe still feels most efficient to me as it does more damage and I save Artreus' arrows for something that actually poses a threat, weird that anyone had trouble with those things
This game will be my first platinum
Got the platinum
My Bad Highlights congrats!
My first platinum was second son and my second platinum was red dead 2 this game will be my third platinum
i feel left out
imagine only getting a ps4 for 6 months
i am a trophy hunter now btw
@@noobfart have fun and best of luck, I’m on 16 now got some hard games under my belt like RDR2 and TLOU working on the Witcher 3 currently
i actually hate being locked on
Jake Borrelli honestly I’m like 20 hours in and I don’t know how and didn’t know you could lock on.
Chad Mondragon lol I don’t ever find it necessary, I did use it a bit to avoid this final Valkyrie though
It’s only useful in 1 on 1 battles
superkriIIin Yeah i ended up using it a little bit with the Valkyries but even in one on one battles i feel it can slow your evade speeds
It's annoying.
And for anybody who takes platinum - this game dont have missable trophies. Finish story first on ANY difficulty. And do trophies.
Thank you my good man
This. This is the best thing ever. Just such a major quality of life thing, I hate missable trophies and items more than anything.
I AM LOOKING AT YOU-GWENT CARDS
@@mafiacat88 The only reason I skipped plat on that game was because of the fucking gwent
Thank you! I was so worried
10 Tips & Tricks Everyone Playing For Like 2 Hours Know Already
@Leon Anderson they did
Also they didn’t talk about advanced tech like runic cancel or agile strike cancel
Thymus-chan 81 this is actually tru I'm only to the part where u meet the witch for the first time and I already started doing half of these by habit or taking my time with the controls that an dieing allot lol
Never get tired of this game even after 100 hours and maxed out! :D
When you're fighting Valkeries, they'll have an unblockable move that they do in the air. You can have Atreus shoot her to interrupt the attack.
Update: I've been told that on the hardest difficulty, you'll need to use your axe.
Thank you so much ! God that move is as powerful as it's annoying >
Lawrence Perry THANK YOU
Oh my goodness this fight will be SO much easier. Thanks dude I was just dying wondering how.
Now bloody way!!! Need to try it tonight!
Doesn't work with give me God of war difficulty tho
7:00 Kratos himself.
The game doesn't have to tell you this, you figure it out by just playing it..
Seriously,...like the axe curve thing
...really. I'm surprised he didn't tell us that Kratos can sprint...wow you serious I didn't know that. 😂😂
The witch lady who helps Kratos out is hot
tannman223 Don't you mean the *spoiler* and the Mother of *spoiler* and when fighting the *spoiler*, it turns out SHE'S THE *spoiler*??????
Freya 😍
Do you know if there is any pornos of the witch lady and Kratos
@@musc1esman y'all need Jesus wtf
Rebecca Wade fr😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I've definitely cheezed my fair share of nether realm fights by blasting the enemies off a ledge. This was the first game I've ever 100% completed, and I can't wait to go back for NG+!
Tips i have
Ogres- It may be instinctual to either take them down with the axe or focus on everything else first while avoiding them but no, have atreus fire arrrows while you punch him to make him a temporary mount to easily clear the room of other enemies.
After you kill the queen and get the axe pommel upgrade you can throw the axe in a straight line across the map. Also when you recall the axe with it equipped it will return on a path that hits every enemy in it's wake. It does it normally but with that legendary pommel it does it so much better and does much more dmg too
This is gonna be fun
love the game thanks for the tips
I just bought this game from the PSN Black Friday sale. This game is amazing.
This is my first God of War ever, and having played only a few hours, I know this is gonna be an experience that I'll never forget. I've already nicknamed the boy and my fight with the stranger was just amazing, I didn't want it to stop, I could go all day with that dude.
I keep hearing him say nippleheim
Y’all are smart
Thats a mythological city built on boobies
I just played it for ps5 first time and it's hard to keep my jaw from dropping. It's insanely good.
Some great tips! Really enjoying God of War, it's a brilliant game!
"Kicking Enemies off cliffs" Simply put away your frost axe and yell at the top of your lungs THIS. IS. SPARTA! Also since Kratos is the Ghost of Sparta :D lol
Actually you need 4 language cyphers to access mushpleheim and niflheim
FaeLock12 Not true.
Megashark 101
You don’t get the travel rune to niflheim or musphlehein until you get all 4 pieces of the corresponding language cypher for that realm
You need 4 language ciphers lmfao
I love the shout-out to theradbrad. Mad respect for that. Great CZcamsr and great commentary from him. Thanks for the tips!
Gabriel G 😂😂
This game takes it to the next level. There is really nothing else out there that has this addictive and fun gameplay. Maybe souls games, but I want to see more games like this. This game I'd love to see DLC. And I'd gladly pay for it.
My favorite thing to do is using nightmares as grenades using the blades of chaos to grapple them
Revenants are extremely vulnerable to electric arrows. While stunned use a combo or cleave then to do max damage.
Well needed tips to know. Thanks!
Just started, it's so fun so far and I love the combat system
*SPOILERS*
Theres a grip that drops from the valkyrie queen that can nullify #2 on this list, it not only makes the R1 throw go in a completely straight line (never falls due to gravity), but it makes the recall actually SEEK OUT enemies to hit on the return trip. Its extremely cool and is my favorite pommel by far.
JTimms where can you find this *queen Valkyrie*
@@hmmm4989 After you beat all of them and reunite the masks at the Consel of the Valkyries
One tip in this game is not to play God of War difficulty before playing the easy mode
Its Brutal
Garry Lubana i died three times in the first fight
😂 Will get there someday my man
Poor Wings
I started off with second hardest difficulty. the one before the very hardest. and littarly the first fight I died so many times that I had to go to normal difficulty.
Tdawg stay Switchin lanes i know man its hardest than the bloodbourne
This was such a good game. Very grateful for it.
In regards to the cliff kicking loot tip - the blacksmiths have a section called lost items or something like that. You get to reclaim any items that you couldn't loot at no cost.
why do i keep hearing cowboy scream music at back.....
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Alot of hidden chests forces you to do stuff with the axe you wouldn't normally do. Like the arc trick. Or throwing it over a wall and recalling it to hit a specific point
Recalling it midair*
There was one chest in the dark elf realm with there was a hole the wall and vines on the door and you had to throw you axe in the room through the hole and run to the front door and recall it that it could hit the vines and open the door for you
I had one where I had to throw the axe over a high wall and recall it midair to break them
That one is the trickiest. took me a while to figure it out
You get an enchantment from killing the Valkyries that makes the R1 throw basically an unstoppable bullet
i figured all this out on my own, feels good :)
I love how the game is very well optimized i played this with original PS4 and it runs smooth and it still looks good and there is rarely a pretty big frame drop
The music in the background is straight delightful. What is it?
the game does tell you that spartan rage gives you health when you hit enemies
Man!!!!! At 04:04 thank you very very much for telling where to skip to avoid spoilers. I just started the game and don't want to much spoilers.
The Best deep perfect story, excelent gameplay, perfect art and animations...hope for next part. Play at least 3 times...God of War
Love the game, wish it had NG+
its comin out
Yep,it’s out
To travel between the realm between realms faster, use Atreus’ hold ability once you are inside and the door will appear in a second or so
How and what is hold ability?
@@creativestudios480 arrow hold ability it always works for me
There's an axe pomel you get when you kill Sigrun. That makes your R1 axe throw extremely powerful (when you throw axe goes in a straight line infinitely)and when you recall the axe it hits the enemies nearby.
1. God of War
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
3. Spiderman
4. Uncharted
5. Ratchet and Clank
PlayStation is truly the best!
Yes
I prefer Xbox but I bought an ps4 just for this game an its amazing the best single player game this generation by far well done Sony 👍🏻
Playstation always had way better games graphics and durability then xbox period. Oh yeah just way more technology and thought put into everything that playstation has but to each his own. Playstation is the best system of all times, why because it always brought out the best games and Xbox just copies them. Facts
Smart move xbox fanboys who are to proud of their console dont buy a ps4 for this game so they miss out on one of the best games ever.
Real life Kratos at 7:00
More like real life baldur
@@mrwan5348 hahaha now that you mentioned it, its definatley Baldur lol
@@ITHADchannel wow i just realised this comment is 9 months
@@mrwan5348 haha lucky you ;)
Passed this game in 3 days since the purchase... amazing game!!!
I just want to sat that Fuz Ro D'ohing Lydia off of the Throat of the World brought back so much nostalgia and fond memories. It was glorious.
Protip: Unarmed kick can stunlock small enemies if you spam the button
Kratos in the thumbnail kinda looks like Christian Bale in American Psycho.
This is a really neat , well made game . It has the most interesting creatures !
Great Tips!!
My favorite Spartan Rage combo, few hits with R1, R2 for the slam then quickly press L2 for a quick rock throw. Used it to finished off the Valkyries :)
Game of the Decade ! !
Is it me or attacking with the shoulder triggers just doesnt feel natural and GOW. I map it to square and triangle.
Matt Roy you immediately get used to it
And it makes more sense one you play as why they chose shoulder trigers
Makes the combat + the companion much smoother
I'm accustom to Bloodborne so I didn't really have a problem. But I understand what you mean
I had to do the same thing: I actually didn’t like the game until I made the switch
Define hack & slash for me then cuz i disagree, this game despite being a bit different is still a hack & slash to me
I find the controls are great.
Love vid bro I subbed and liked and post notifications
wow great video man thanks!
i bought days ago and i just finshed the story and its the best game i ever played
wish my luck getting RAGNAROK i really want to try it
Mystic gates restore health you are welcome
play the story up until the second meeting with the world serpent then go exploring around the lake of nine, i find this to be the best strategy to avoid backtracking and keeping everything fresh.
Being a gamer for many many years this is the best game ever the amount of detail in the graphics smooth gameplay has to win many awards
Playing this game in 2024 and the facial animations of the Boy are incredible. This is a special game. I dare say the quality is up there with the Zelda games.
Knew most of these, some aditional tips:
-Use the eletric arrows when fighting against mutiple enemies or if there is enemies that throws projectiles
-Use the "light"(Blue) arrows when fighting against Trolls, Ancients and those Werewolfes like creatures, it will give you the stun attack and take them out easily
-Use Atreus special attack, with eletric arrows and runes that are area attacks, it will give you a huge advantage against many enemies
-Use the heavy attack on the Travelers once their armor is gone
-Valkyries has the same combat style but with gimmicks for each one, but what you have to do: Throw the axe on them when they hoove; if she slide to your right you dodge, if she slide to your left you block; if she use ter wings as a shield, use the execution heavy attack; if she says "Valhalla" wait a second and dodge, then attack her ; don't deflect their projectiles, some of them may jump on you while in the "throw back" animation; don't back step, it is easy to get hit
-Use the execution or stun execution "invencibility frames" when overwhelmed, it gives you time to think or to use Atreus special attack or eletric arrows
-When fighting against Travelers with shields on their backs, keep Atreus on their front and so he can attack them
-Boulder throw is the best attack of the spartan rage, but drains the rage bar quickly
-Punches alongside with Blue arrows are pretty effective against Trolls and others creatures, but Trolls in particular
If the Valkyrie is blocking, use the guard break. Executioner's cleave takes too long to charge up and when she drops her guard, it does a load of damage.
My only criticism for this is in Rota's case; whether she breaks right or left sometimes makes no difference, because if she retreats back right after moving in either direction, you'll have to block or her spin attack will one-shot you.
You'll be able to tell whether you should dodge or block by whether the red flash appears or not as she's coming for you, and it takes a split second reaction to respond accordingly
I thought I was good at the game not dying and all, then I realized I was playing on the easiest difficulty
Balanced Experience is the besf setting to play through.
#1 Find the optional content. Wow thanks great tip!
This games is a work of art it’s not believable. The shaders and decor is out of this world. My jaw dropped every time
Add to it, I died alright after beating an ancient and was triggered. Thought I lost the loot from it. But it was at Broks. So you don’t lose that either.
I have the same shirt! Alter Bridge and God of War at the same video yeahhh
Roie Rosen me too haha !
Getting items from enemies that fell from the cliff is a mechanic from Dark Souls. There is also a lot of mechanics inspired in the Souls series.
Best game I played on the ps4. I am playing the steam version now. :D
Dude these tips were borderline worthless xD
You are an XBOX fanboy
Borderline? So not entirely? You forgot to say thank you. Kids these days have forgotten basic manners.
Im supposed...to... thank a guy that profited off of misleading me into watching his no-effort _borderline_ worthless video because if I don't my... generation sucks?
You're a weird one.
Grundle Wizard What even are these replies you got there? Lol
And CZcams seems to have really embraced this game when it comes to "videos you need to see". Which you don't actually need at all.
When you say "borderline useless" you're implying there was some use no matter how small, I was only having a laugh, you on the other hand seem to take this comment section a bit too seriously.
The rage talisman is the most op item in the game, and it's only a "common" item. The fact that you can regain health while in spartin rage and do massive damage at the same time causes this talisman to almost break the game. Just avoid damage long enough for it to cool down, activate it, kill and regain health, wash, rinse, repeat. A lot of people are tempted to use some of the more rare and fancier talismans, but I pretty much stuck with this little op nugget and it got me through give me god of war without much trouble at all.
If you *REALLY* want to feel op, master the Amulet of Kvasir. It has no cooldown so if you've mastered dodging, you'll quickly find yourself playing a Matrix simulator.
A small tip that helped me step up my skill: When you find yourself surrounded by enemies and one is low health but you can' really close the gap, just spam throw axe in his face while mashing square. Probably seems like a no brainer to most of us, but for the beginners this could help
Best game I’ve played in a long time
This dude literally says no spoilers but he spoils a major twist right out the gate....
As a tip, do every side mission before the story
I love all of the god of war games. Great story character and gameplay. Unfortunately stuck on the Valkyrie Queen
Nice into. Great video.
I didn’t know you could sprint
Best game iv purchased since fallout 4, no joke its that good
madscientistshusta Better than Fallout 4.
You had me at the alter bridge shirt ❤️❤️
this is probably the best ps4 game ever made, i love the kratos and artreus relationship, such a beautiful and well made game
You speak too quickly!!!!!
I find the combat frustrating tbh
Chris Richmond I find it amazing.
This game is definitely worth getting the platinum for, it's amazing
Here's a big one I recently discovered:
Opening Mystic Gateways fully recharges your health.
You just have to walk up to one and press Circle. You don't have to actually use it, you can cancel out of it. By just walking up to one and pressing Circle your health gets fully recharged.
Now thor DLC only for 19.99$

I finished the game half an hour ago and this game is Darksiders 2
Zuzu zuza 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 Fuuuuuuck yoooooooooooooooooooooooou
TEDD95 wtf dude I enjoyed the game. Combat and world design are phenomenal. But it is quite similar to Darksiders 2. Maybe I should've explained it better but chill...
Zuzu zuza I’ve played DS2 not similar at all both are fun but both are very different and god of war is better
MTN 7 Well, I guess it's only me hahaha
Zuzu zuza Ive been thinking that to myself since i began playing. Very similar to Darksiders 2 imo. World design akin to the older Zeldas. Loving the similarity so far because its scratching an itch that BOTW didnt hit for me last year.
Still, as much as I love this new reboot - nothing compares to that feeling of when popping in thee original God of War for the PS2 from 2005 and watching that opening scene as Kratos casts himself from the highest peak in all of Greece, "The God's of Olympus have abandoned me . . . Now there is no hope."
Narrator/Gia - "And Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece. After 10 years of suffering, 10 years of endless nightmares, it would finally come to and end. DEATH would be his escape from madness. . ."
Absolutely, brilliant!!! Made my hairs stand on end, but in a beautiful, yet sad way. Kratos is my favorite video game character and so, it's endearingly strange to see him in a new kind of way. But he feels so much older and wiser in this new reboot than from his original saga.
I compleded this game YESTERDAY and NOW i see this video
