About God of War (PC)
God of War (2018) is Santa Monica Studio's fundamental reinvention of the Greek-mythology-based series. Kratos now appears as a matured character trying to be a father, living in the world of Norse mythology; he embarks on a journey with his son Atreus to scatter his deceased wife's ashes atop the highest mountain. The game shifts from the series' traditional hack-and-slash camera to a single continuous shot, offering a heavier, more tactical melee combat system centered on the Leviathan Axe. Atreus contributing to combat as an AI companion, and the emotional depth of the father-son relationship, form the heart of the game's storytelling; this reinvention is widely considered the series' most acclaimed and award-winning entry.

In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. God of War (PC) recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
