Combining directional movement with attacks unlocked dynamic airborne maneuvers, including leaping strikes and heavy ground smashes. Additionally, testing ranged combat revealed that Kratos can throw the axe long distances and instantly recall it back to his hand like Thor's hammer.
There was no fourth press for the heavy chain, so I experimented with movement inputs instead. When I spun around and pressed the left button, Kratos leaped into the air and swung the axe forward, delivering a deadly leaping attack.
Trying the same spin maneuver with the right mouse button produced an even heavier result. Kratos jumped and landed a powerful blow ahead before smashing the blade into the ground.
Finally, I discovered that I could throw the axe across long distances. It functioned similarly to Thor's hammer, soaring through the air before pausing.
Kratos just wave his hand, and the axe bounced right back into his palm like a loyal pet.
That's all for this session. More moments coming soon and thanks for checking it out.
