Positives :

Fantastic graphics may be the best on the Playstation 4 technically, with rich detail in characters, leaders and the world and beautiful effects such as fire, fog, smoke and footprints in the snow, and clarity in the surfaces of objects such as rocks, clothing, armor and weapons. The game also offers two stages when played on the Playstation 4 Pro, a 4K resolution that can be used even on regular TVs with a lower-down image and a higher performance. An art-savvy game of fantasy and diverse worlds based on Scandinavian mythology with epic music Although it is quiet most of the moments, and powerful sound effects make you feel every blow. The camera does not suddenly move from one angle to the other, even through cinematic scenes, but moves smoothly to track the character of Kratos and what is happening around it. The fighting system is like a first sight or Resident Evil 4, always moving towards the corner of the camera. The fighting is done by the front buttons to hit, repel and shoot, while the " X "is used to avoid strikes, rolling, and triangulation to call your ax. The ax is your primary weapon, and in addition to hitting it you can throw it at distant enemies. The angle of view and the near-range weapon with distant blows gives the game a different sense than the previous parts. The enemy is generally less and stronger while the strikes are stronger. Hit the enemy's hand with the attack, stop it and hit its feet. This gives the fighting more weight than the past. You also have a shield that you use to stop the blows and strike you and even to attack the enemy. The other addition is your son who accompanies you and can throw Enemies with arrows and even hanging on them and choking them, and the development of anger returns. Developing combat is by upgrading the ax, developing and changing the ax and installing the rune to add movements, as well as new permanent movements that you open through experience points of finishing tasks and challenges, and this also applies to your son but smaller. The development of the character became closer to the game of RPG in many details and greater freedom and dependence on finding treasures and scarce resources. The story of the game centered on Kratos, who became a bishop and moved to Scandinavia and married and became a boy, accompanied by Atreus to go on a journey to the highest mountain peak to scatter the ashes of his recently deceased wife , An arduous journey in a world based on Scandinavian mythology and also encountered by allies and enemies. The story itself is interesting, exciting and mature from the stories of the previous angry parts. There are always side conversations to add to, and anger and violence are still present, but with the refinement of them, and give you a motive for progress. But the father's relationship with his son and the difficulty of education and the concealment of its origin and its violent past give the game depth and distance. The exploration in this part has a larger role than in the past. The world is large, complex, and full of secrets without any icons or arrows on it. The map shows only what you have discovered, and the fast movement is limited and shows only late. The compass shows only your main goal and an additional goal you choose. . You will encounter obstacles that you will not be able to overcome until you have acquired new powers. Many secrets need to be carefully observed and solved, and the game succeeds in providing a rich world that rewards you to explore its mysteries. At first your movement will be limited in the world, There are a lot of options. In addition to the accuracy and performance on the pro, there are four difficulty options that can switch between the first three at any time. There is an option to disable the compass and blood meters for the enemies and arrows that Direction of the source of the hazard Housewives are directed to you if you want a more immersive experience. As such, you can change some of the buttons used to move, fight and interact with the world, and even simplify a challenge when opening doors with magic. All of these are good options to help you tailor your experience to the best.

Negatives :

Performance on PlayStation 4 Pro is not fixed and sometimes leads to screen tearing, especially in large open spaces. I personally prefer to be accurate even with these flaws, but those who are sensitive to the oscillating performance or cut off the screen may not find it useful. Leaders especially Giants in this part less than the former and some secondary leaders repeat and return as ordinary enemies. This fits in with the trend of the quietest story, but returning to the epic of the previous parts will notice the difference.
