God of War

£49.99, PS4 ★★★★★

Going in a completely new direction, God of War will definitely be one of the biggest blockbuster hits of 2018 – and deserving of the hype which surrounds it.

Many years have passed since Kratos took his vengeance against the Olympian gods. Having survived his final encounter with father Zeus, he now lives with his young son Atreus in the world of the Norse gods, inhabited by fierce monsters and warriors.

To teach his son how to survive, Kratos must master his rage and be both a father and mentor.

The world is stunning and the graphics and art design are dazzling. It’s a masterpiece in both gameplay and combat.

God of War fans won’t be disappointed, and if you’re new to the genre then this is a great introduction to the franchise.
