With the release of the critically acclaimedGod of Wargame only a few days away, reviews are starting to flood in and most are overwhelmingly positive. In fact,God of Warhas now broken the record of being the best reviewed PlayStation 4 game in history, as well as being one of the best-rated games across all platforms.
Metacritic has revealed that the newGod of Warscored an astounding 95 out of 100 based on an aggregate ofdozens of reviews. The only games that previously scored higher thanGod of Warare two re-releases from PlayStation 3,Grand Theft Auto VandThe Last of Us.The only original PlayStation 4 games whose scores came close toGod of War, arePersona 5,Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, andMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,which all scored 93 on Metacritic.
Some comments by reviewers listed on Metacritic are that “God of Waris an astonishing achievement in the series, a magnificent and deep game that plays quite differently but greatly and succeeds in absolutely every aspect”, and that “God of Waris, simply put, the best PS4 game I have played in the console’s lifecycle.” This is no surprise, as we know from the promotional material and thetech breakdownof the game released so far that the game is sure to impress.
Of course, a high or low review score does not necessarily mean that gamers will receive the game well or not.Fortnite, for example, has scored almost 20 points less thanGod of Waron the same platform, but is nevertheless one the most popular games in the world at the moment. After the release ofGod of Wartoo, some more reviews of the game might actually come in and lower the score on Metacritic, but despite this, all thepositive newsthat we have heard aboutGod of Warup to this point makes us very excited to play the game later this week.
God of Waris set to release on Aug 16, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 4.
