If you've played the game, you would know that Kratos comes equipped with a whole slew of special attacks which aid him in killing the gods of Olympus and their countless minions. If you haven't, I'd suggest doing so, as it is by far one of the most immersive action games I've ever had the pleasure of playing - beating gods to death with my bare hands has never felt more satisfying. The undead soldiers are shredded limb from limb and when the dust settles, Kratos stands injured, but victorious. I draw one of Kratos' Blades of Exile and pull myself towards the nearest enemy - using the Hyperion Ram skill, I plow through the horde before me and unleash massive devastation with the Cyclone of Chaos. Skeletons armed to the teeth with swords and shields surround my every direction. My health is running low and the legions of Hades are upon me in great numbers.
