God of War, the instant classic of 2018 that boasts an impressive "Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews" on Steam, is now available at a significant discount. While it is common for games on Steam to receive price cuts throughout their lifespan, it is rare for a game as big as God of War to receive such a massive discount.
Steam has become well-known for offering huge discounts on games, especially during its highly promoted sales periods such as the popular winter sale. However, at times, Steam and game developers will randomly drop prices or even give away games for free outside of the usual seasonal sales. These sales can sometimes be just as good or even better than the highly publicized seasonal sales.
The critically acclaimed 2018 PlayStation hit God of War is currently on sale until June 15th. As one of Sony's flagship first-party games, the God of War series originally launched on the PlayStation 2 in 2005 and has since spawned multiple sequels. However, 2018's God of War took the franchise in a new direction by pairing an older Kratos with his son Atreus, as they navigate the heroes and villains of Norse mythology. This fresh take on the series was met with widespread praise and a PC port was released in January 2022.
God of War has earned multiple Game of the Year awards and recognition from various publications, such as IGN, the D.I.C.E. Awards, Empire Magazine, and Game Informer, among others. It has also been labeled a Metacritic "Must Play," with a critic's score of 94 and a user score of 9.1. With over 71,634 reviews, the game has been deemed as having "Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews" on Steam, where it is presently available at a 40% discount. This discount matches God of War's all-time lowest Steam discount, according to SteamDB, and is only available until June 15.
God of War is available now on PC and PS4.
