Download the new God of War 4 – award-winning game now for PC
The God of War series has been running for many years since the first game's release in 2005. The game has been incredibly popular on the playstation systems, where it has been an exclusive title filled with blood, sexual content, brutality, and bold mythological reinterpretations. Now the game has come to PC – and here we cover some of the elements that helped make it one of the biggest and most successful games from the 2018–2020 period.
Play one of the most acclaimed modern playstation games on your PC
When God of War 4 launched on playstation for the first time in 2018, it was a huge hit and ended up winning a long list of prestigious awards, from Game of the Year, Best Game 2019, Best Soundtrack, Best Action/Adventure, and Best Narrative, among others.
As you might already sense, the reason for the game's many successes lies in many different parts of its design. Everything from the unfolding story, the characters you meet and their internal relationships, to the incredible graphics and the heart-wrenching soundtrack, make God of War 4 as close to perfection as you can get for a title made for the previous generation of gaming platforms.
Finally, a good port to the PC world
PC players have long had to struggle with their PC ports (the term for implementing a console game for other platforms, especially PC), which often weren't particularly polished or lagged significantly behind their playstation or xbox variants. But this time, Sony nailed it; the game feels fantastic to play and is generally just a great experience, no matter which platform you play on.
A legendary story of family, grief, death, and the mythic gods and goddesses of antiquity
One thing God of War has long been known for – and which this latest game especially nails – is the story. You can't help but be captivated by the atmosphere and the ever-evolving drama between Kratos and his son, Atreus. The two stand in stark contrast to each other; Kratos is a battle-hardened warrior who has lost everything (even himself) on his journey, while his son is a passionate soul who suffers from a serious illness that weakens him.
The two must now learn to work together and trust each other if they are to survive the journey to the realm of the Norse gods.
Upgrade your characters, their abilities, and their gear
Kratos and his son Atreus can be upgraded continuously over the course of their journey together. This unlocks new, stronger attacks and better teamwork between the two, leading to combo attacks and new ways for them to explore the world.
You can also face the terrifying Valkyries, each willing to fight Kratos in the game's toughest boss scenarios. From these battles, you can obtain various gems and more to socket into your gear or attach to your weapons, making you even stronger.
Battles that will make the earth tremble and the sky crack
In some of the fights you'll take on as Kratos, the entire environment around him is affected – that's what happens when gods battle on mortal ground; or beyond. Watch house walls crack under the force of your fists and see the earth split when you face some of Kratos’ formidable new enemies.
Kratos is normally associated with some of his iconic weapons, including the two chain-bound blades called the ‘Blades of Chaos’, originally forged by the war god, Ares. This game starts differently, though – his Blades of Chaos are gone and instead Kratos now wields a mighty battle axe that he can both strike with and throw, opening up a wide range of new combat scenarios.
Other games you can check out
If you've had enough of God of War after already finishing it, or if you don't really feel the game is for you, then one of these games might be more your taste instead.
For example, det nye HALO: Infinite, which adds a single-player story campaign and a free multiplayer version you can access via the link above. In this game, you must fight your way across one of the last (and most anticipated) rings/halos in the universe. The world is open (more open than God of War 4) and lets you play as the iconic character known as Master Chief.
If you just can't get enough action and combat, you might want to try the critically acclaimed Deathloop, which forces you to relive the same cursed day over and over until you find the right sequence of kills and decisions that will lead you to escape this endless hell.
Conclusion
God of War is a game you simply can't miss – whether you play on playstation or PC. The graphics, sound, and story are fantastic – and together you get a gameplay masterpiece. This also gives you a great opportunity to prepare for the upcoming God of War 5, called Ragnarok, which is scheduled to be released during 2022.
