We had a feeling that
God of War was special and that it was guaranteed to become one of the year's finest games. However, hardly anyone anticipated the level of incredible craftsmanship the developers put into the game.
The glowing reviews we've seen are typically reserved for the likes of new
Mario,
Zelda or Naughty Dog games. This positive reception by both fans and critics ensures that Creative Director Cory Barlog will be regarded in the same esteem as contemporaries such as Hideo Kojima and Neil Druckmann.
In the video below, watch as Cory gets emotional when he sees the game's Metacritic score for the first time.
God of War is out today exclusively on the Playstation 4. Will you be getting a copy? Let us know in the comments section.
While your here, check out Cory's message to the fans below:
From Santa Monica Studio and creative director Cory Barlog comes a new beginning for God of War. Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest.
