I've never played a God of War game. Would the PS4 game be a good place to start?

Will I be missing anything important by not knowing the previous games?

It's fine. You'll be missing context for Kratos that is never fully explained in the game, but the story is meant to work even without it. Just know that the game play of the previous entries is very different if you decide to go backwards.

I wouldn't necessary recommend it, but you aren't missing out on a ton by playing it first.

Cool.

I'll definitely check it out then. It's only $19.99 on the PS store.

I would recommend just watching the cutscenes of the first games to get some basic context and background information. It would definitely make your experience better for the last game.

If nothing else you may wanna check out a recap of the first several games.

Not a requirement to play the game but your enjoyment of certain scenes and arcs will be increased a bit

It was the first GoW game I played. There are moments where you feel like you are missing out on something about half way into the game, but really outside of that one long scene I never got that feeling again

All you need to really know from the first God Of Wars is that Kratos became a Greek god and subsequently killed them all after being betrayed by them which you can probably guess just by the existence of this game and the premise of the original

you could also watch a retrospective on YouTube, or something.

like, the reasons why he has powder white skin, why he hates gods, etc. are pretty interesting, IMO.
