About God of War
About this game
Santa Monica has brought The Slayer of Gods right back with a brand-new look, pantheon to demolish, and weapons to wield. Players will take control of Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, on a quest to take his late wife's ashes to the highest peak in all of the realms with his son, Atreus.
God of War is 2019's Game of the Year, with a 93 score on Metacritic, and glowing reviews. Experience the resurrection of the story of a man whose past he wishes to leave behind and slaughter your way to your goal. With few success stories as great as this one, God of War is a title that won't disappoint.
A Cinematic Experience
You might as well get the popcorn for this one, as God of War works just as great as a movie. Take control of Kratos and travel throughout Midgard, Alfheim, Muspelheim, and numerous other Nordic realms to take his wife's ashes to the highest peak in all of the realms; yet, not everything is as it seems. Watch Kratos struggle with problems of parenthood and grow ever-fondly of both his new personality and his son.
Face Nordic Myths
We've accompanied Kratos in demolishing Greece; at his hands, mythical creatures have fallen, gods, and even the Sisters of Fate. Now on Midgard, Kratos must learn to slay brand-new creatures, including draugr, trolls, dragons, and even more gods. Wielding an axe built by the Huldra brothers — the Leviathan axe — unlock a slew of all-new combos and abilities that will facilitate your journey through the perilous lands of Scandinavia.
Great for Veterans and Newcomers Alike
Many of us grew up and observed Kratos on his brutal journeys slaying Olympians; that doesn't mean that you need to have accompanied him to enjoy this masterpiece. Experience God of War as your first title and grow fond of Kratos even without knowing his past, or do so and feel the pain and consequences of slaying an entire pantheon; God of War is an enjoyable title for all.
All-New PC Features
Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive, God of War comes to PC with brand-new features to fit the console. Experience true 4k resolution, unlocked framerates, and tweak the graphics to your liking in a way that wasn't possible before; as you'll even be able to explore the Nordic pantheon with built-in ultra-wide support. Better yet, enjoy accessible graphics for lower-end computers and make use of NVIDIA's enhancing AI technology — NVIDIA DLSS — to witness the title, regardless of your rig.

One of my favorite games of all time. The story is outstanding and the game play is quite good. You don't need to have played any of the previous God of War games to enjoy it. It's also a fantastically optimized for PC.

First God of War game I’ve played. Older gamer, so my reflexes can be slow at times. Playing with Xbox controller helps. Game itself is a lot of fun, the dynamic between the main characters is pretty good and the kid can be helpful in battle. Looks great on PC.
