* The Big Winner of the Year *
God of War captured our imaginations this year with its beautiful world, incredible pacing, and a perfect weapon in Kratos' Leviathan Axe. But God of War's most brilliant trick is adding depth and humanity to Kratos, long-time video game poster boy for yelling, thanks to his connection with Atreus. The throughline of their relationship is a thrill to watch develop both narratively and mechanically, as everything in Sony Santa Monica's adventure comes together to form a gorgeous, memorable masterpiece.
- IGN -
You know it’s been a good year for games when giving top honors to a title as flawlessly executed as God of War can be considered contentious. While G.I. has a posse of irate cowboys ready to declare mutiny over the decision, even they can’t argue against God of War being a modern-day masterpiece. Santa Monica Studio’s reinvention of the series has made Kratos relevant to new and old audiences alike, and is backed up by superb visuals, combat, writing, voice acting – the list goes on and on. Even for a god slayer, taking down this year’s phenomenal competition was a herculean task, but Kratos proved a worthy champion.
- Game Informer -
God of War is proof that sequels can also be opportunities, not just to make something new but interrogate something old. They can be better. That’s exciting, because it also suggests that the next entry — and the one after that — won’t be static continuations of what worked in 2018, but games that reflect their own moment. God of War succeeds by defining this year in games, by balancing familiarity and risk to become not derivative, but transformative.
