Our analysis

Upper Echelon critiques the practice of 10/10 ratings rather than God of War itself, calling it a fantastic, well-polished, expertly crafted experience—but not revolutionary. They personally rate it 9-9.8, arguing perfection is unachievable and that giving 10s cheapens the concept. The game is acknowledged as excellent and deserving recognition, but the reviewer maintains skepticism toward industry hype and excessive praise.

Our analysis

Not 10/10 game-of-a-generation hyperbole. Solid 7.5/10 with some annoying combat quirks, but definitely worth a buy. Great fun if you can look past the issues.

Must playour band 85–95

Our analysis

God of War stands among the best games of its generation, anchored by a deep, satisfying combat system and a tragic, emotionally resonant story of Kratos confronting his rage and his relationship with his son. The mid-game return of the Blades of Chaos is a standout turning point, instantly doubling combat complexity with new attacks, runic abilities, and a skill tree while delivering powerful narrative payoff. A near-perfect marriage of emotion and mechanics.
