God of War (for PlayStation 4)

It is easy to lose track of enemies and take needless damage. You need to constantly move and reposition Kratos to keep enemies in focus if you don't want to get hit.

Kratos wears his scars proudly, but he is deliberately cautious about his identity within the Norse realms. Despite being a god-slaying deity, his past endeavors are a very touchy subject.

Large enemies, like Ogres, have hyper armor against most attacks and will not easily stagger. They are also freakishly strong and can deal serious damage, so you need to play safely at all times.

As in the older games, the new God of War incorporates fantasy into its world and structures to give the setting a wondrous, yet slightly realistic visual flair.

Even without the fantasy touches, the environments in God of War are expansive, beautiful to look at, and fun to explore.

God of War has superb lighting and makes excellent use of shading techniques and reflections to make every area in the game stand out.
