@MrkelsGame@ShannyTalk Each time there's a QTE in the games, lorewise it means Kratos had to put extra effort in doing something. This QTE was by far the hardest thing Kratos had done.
I had a headcanon that pushing Calliope away was so difficult, Kratos needed The Player (absolute powers) to do it.
using the same prompt kratos uses to brutally execute creatures with all his strenght in this moment to illustrate how much effort it takes for him to leave his daughter behind after all he went through is just brilliant game design im afraid
