It's not exactly a bold statement to suggest that God of War is a visually stunning game, but so beautiful is the game's combination of lush environments, character models, mind-boggling battle animations and ambient effects that there's a strong argument to declare God of War the best-looking console game ever made.

The current standard-bearers are generally agreed to be Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Horizon Zero: Dawn, two ludicrously well-made games that have nevertheless been bested by SIE Santa Monica Studio's eye-wateringly astounding work on this title.

Cory Barlog's ambitious vision is impeccably realised here, and that the game looks so insanely great even on the base PS4 is nothing short of technical wizardry. The world players are presented with, in all of its visual majesty, truly feels like a living, breathing one, creating one of the most rewarding and atmospheric experiences of this current gaming generation.
