I defintely have that talisman (upgraded to max) that slows down time at a perfect evade. I think the the next strike is a heavy runic attack that is a treat to watch btw.
Yeah, it feels really rewarding when you do a perfect evade and trigger witch time. A little odd that it isn't a part of Kratos' core skill set, but nevertheless really glad to see it in the game. It's by far my favorite ability in character action games such as Bayonetta and Transformers: Devastation.
Coupled with this and the rune that increases your evade distance and speed (and probably i-frames), Kratos becomes untouchable...that is, until you face the Valkyrie lol.
Did you play at Give me god of war ? 100 percent spot on, the combat system in this game is phenomenal with tons of vartiations. Havent tried fiddling with the camera options you stated, will try turning them off.
I finished the main story on 'give me a challenge', then dropped it down to 'give me a balanced experience' for the Valkyries. Would've played on 'give me god of war', but it doesn't let you change difficulty, unfortunately.
Regarding the camera options, the one you mainly want to experiment with is 'recenter camera on attack'. The strafe assist setting may be useful, though I disabled it anyway. Hasn't been an issue so far.
Are you talking about Valkyries ? Defeated my first Valkyrie last night and boy that was nerve racking.
Yeah, it seems like they're pretty much there to appeal to fans of the Souls games. You need to trial and error through their attack patterns , and then they're easy to beat.
I'm currently facing the last one.
