Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for June 2022?
Plus or minus?
June's PS Plus games have been officially announced, and it's fair to say that this month's line up is an important one, because Sony's set to launch the new PS Plus tiers worldwide over the next few weeks. It's a bit of a shame, then, that the selection has been met with a wave of criticism. Most of that is directed towards 2018's...

Poll As God of War Turns Four, What Would You Rate It Today?
Kratos makes a wish
Today marks the fourth anniversary of PlayStation 4 classic God of War — happy birthday to Kratos, Atreus, and co! We imagine the father and son are currently blowing out some candles and wishing for their battle with Thor to hurry up. It has been quite the wait, but that showdown will finally take place in this year's God of...

Hands On God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic
RT-Axe on
In 2018 Sony Santa Monica shipped God of War, a soft reboot of the fan-favourite action-adventure trilogy that traded the Greek pantheon for Norse mythology. Featuring an emotional narrative that focused on the relationship between the rough-edged Kratos and his young son Atreus, God of War reinvigorated the series without straying too far...

Hands On God of War PS5 Update Makes for a Truly Godlike Experience
Improving a masterpiece
2018's God of War is excellent on PlayStation 4, and will always be remembered as one of the console's most important exclusives. But the game's latest update makes it feel like Kratos' axe-hurling adventure was always meant to be played on PlayStation 5. Offering an absolutely rock solid 60 frames-per-second at 4K...

Poll One Year Old Today, Have Your Thoughts on God of War Changed?
Questions must be axed
Happy birthday, God of War! Sony Santa Monica's masterpiece is one year old today, originally releasing on the 20th April, 2018. The title was met with universal praise, farming countless 10/10 review scores, and walking away with dozens of Game of the Year awards. As far as we're concerned, it remains one of the PlayStation...

Soapbox One Year Later and God of War's Overall Quality Still Blows My Mind
Looking back at one of the PS4's best
Can you believe that it's already been one whole year since God of War launched? Sony just celebrated the game's anniversary by releasing a bunch of free avatars and a PlayStation 4 theme, and it got me thinking about just how good God of War is as an action adventure title. I think it's a game that oozes...

Game of the Year 2018 #1 - God of War
Kratos returns to his throne
God of War may just be the greatest comeback story of all time. After the by-the-numbers God of War Ascension, it felt like the curtain had closed on Kratos and Sony Santa Monica’s character action brand. But returning director Cory Barlog and his crew ripped up the franchise rule book, changing the camera perspective...

Site News God of War Wins the Push Square Forum's Game of the Year
Marvel's Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2 in top three
Looks like Kratos may need to invest in a new trophy cabinet, because hot on the heels of last week’s The Game Awards 2018 win, God of War has now topped the Push Square forum’s Game of the Year poll. As brilliantly organised by community member KratosMD [Coincidental username...

Soapbox Why God of War Needs an Expansion Pack
Please sir, can I have some Norse?
I’m rarely ready for a sequel immediately after finishing a game, but if Sony said God of War 2 was out next week I’d be right at the front of the queue. Without giving anything away, one of my favourite things about this game is how it feels complete and self-contained, while still very obviously being the...
Poll One Week Later, What Are Your Thoughts on God of War?
GOTY?
One week ago, God of War launched on PlayStation 4, and it was the best game ever. Or maybe it wasn't. That's for you to decide (kind of). Last Friday, we asked you lot for your first impressions, and the poll results were positive. Most of you said that you couldn't wait to play more, and now that you've had a full week to get stuck in, we...

Soapbox Why God of War Will Scratch Your Zelda Itch
A link to the past
Of all the games I expected God of War to remind me of, The Legend of Zelda was probably right at the very bottom of my list. I mean, how could the hallmarks of Nintendo’s flagship adventure franchise possibly be present in Kratos’ latest? This is a game about a paternal relationship, like The Last of Us. It has a cinematic...

Poll What Are Your First Impressions of God of War?
More like God of Phwoar?
Just in case you didn't already know (seriously, where the heck have you been?), God of War is out today on PlayStation 4, and honestly, it's put us in a bit of a pickle. As regular readers know, we like to run a nice poll (almost) every Friday to round out the week. Usually it takes us a little while to come up with a good...

Poll Will You Be Buying God of War?
The big one
Well, there was really only one big talking point from this week that we could have transformed into a Friday poll: God of War. Reviews for the PlayStation 4 exclusive dropped yesterday morning, and Kratos is currently sitting pretty (don't tell him we called him that) with a 94 on Metacritic. It's safe to say that critics like it. As...
