Score Breakdown
The Review
God of War reinvented one of gaming's most iconic franchises by turning a rage-fueled hack-and-slash into a deeply personal story about fatherhood. The single continuous camera shot — no cuts, no loading screens — creates an intimacy that few games have achieved. Kratos's relationship with Atreus is gaming's best father-son dynamic. Santa Monica Studio proved that even the most bombastic franchise can grow up.
Fun Fact
The entire game is presented as one continuous camera shot with zero cuts or loading screens — a technical feat that took years to perfect.
