The game is fully playable, and all the Bonus features you unlock after completing the game work. The entire game was played at 2x Native Resolution, with Shade Boost, FXAA and FX Shader options all enabled, at a solid 60 FPS (with very rare drops) in Direct3D11 Hardware mode. '''NOTE :''' Shadows on Kratos and enemies cannot be seen. The Hades section is missing some effects resulting in a washed out look.

"OpenGL (Hardware)" for shadows and fog working, Blending Unit Accuracy on High along with CRC this emulates shadows and volumetric fog (video card compatible with OpenGl 4.5 req.), TC Offset X:337, TC Offset Y:337 (removes vertical lines and bad effects). Edit: If you manage to run it at "4x native" resolution, change the TC offset to "370" in X and Y. Completed the entire game in HD with the shadows and fog correctly emulated.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 1.60, Playable with full 60FPS. I have noticed a total freeze occur during the third phase of Ares Boss fight and the growls would just loop on and on. This could possibly be due to mtVU since it is warned it may cause hanging, though not fully certain. This issue has also in fact been experienced by some others on real PS2s, so it is possibly just a bad bug. I suggest using save states in case this ever happens. I suggest enabling mtVU because without it, the game is unable to maintain 60fps in heavy battles. Do use OpenGL (Hardware) or software rendering of any backend to render shadows. OpenGL (Hardware) is much more demanding on the GPU than other hardware backends. Disabling Framebuffer helps however. A GTX 750 Ti is able to run it at 720p maximum.

|Comments=Unless you set the CRC hack level to Partial or Aggressive, most of the screen will be bright green, essentially making the game unplayable. I tried Aggressive initially, but that messed up the shadows, so I changed it to Partial, which was fine. Initially there was noticeable lag when fighting multiple enemies, but enabling MTVU eliminated the lag, and from then on, the game ran at full speed. However, it's clearly quite demanding on my PC (it's normally almost silent and the fans got very loud, and the PC became warm to the touch), so I'd recommend using VU cycle stealing for mid to low-end PCs. Once I'd enabled MTVU, there were no other issues. Fully playable.

==Known Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Hardware renderer + upscaling artifacts
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=From a [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-God-of-War-SCUS-97399-U--29467?pid=618934#pid618934 this post]: When playing with hardware renderer upscaled you will see vertical lines. There's also green along the nets of the ship at the beginning of the game. This is just a consequence of upscaling. They go away on software renderer.
|Workaround=Turn Half-Pixel Offset hack to Special (Texture) to remove vertical lines.

|Description=Multiple black vertical lines span across the screen [https://i.redd.it/xlavu0mp4ae51.png image].
|Description=In Hardware mode Kratos's shadow is missing.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings. Enable HW Hacks and in advanced settings set trilinear filtering to trilinear then half pixel offset to special ([https://www.reddit.com/r/PCSX2/comments/i1ib5n/vertical_lines_in_god_of_war1_those_are_my/ credit].
|Workaround=Fixed as of one of the 1.7 builds. For older versions Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, make sure the Renderer is set to "OpenGL or Vulkan (Hardware), then click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and use '''Round Sprite''' or use '''TC Offset''' to correct the effects. Or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to one of the "(Software)" options.

|Workaround=Enable memory wrapping hack
|Workaround=That issue appears to be fixed as of v1.7.3113. For older builds Use interlaced (don't enable progressive scan in the game itself). For the PAL version on older PCSX2 builds (May apply to WxWidgets builds) Go to Graphics settings > Hacks > Turn on Memory Wrapping.
