I think Kratos does this in just about every game. I was playing Ragnarok 5 minutes ago and he was hurling pillars at enemies left, right and center :D.
As for 2018: it’s a game with a big focus on combat, exploration and character driven storytelling. I can understand feeling burnt out on the viking aesthetic, but the game feels way more fantastical than historical to me.
Ha, fair enough. I’m fairly sure it was the first game. I just looked up a video, I think it actually may have been the part where Aries throws a pillar at Kratos which impales him in the chest.
