Kratos telling Freya about killing his kid felt a little odd while climbing a wall.

Once you get to the higher end of leveling up, they become a bit easier.

I'm still working on my initial playthrough. I was thought I was pretty close to the end until I stumbled across

The one with lightning attacks was very tough. If he connected, you get electrocuted, which leads to follow up attacks. The other 2 I encountered weren't that bad.

2 at once and 3 at once.

The final act (Ragnarok) felt a little rushed to me. All that work to get Surtr and he just hangs out in the background and then pokes Freyr with a sword a couple times. I also feel like we never truly got to see Odin at his worst. We spent all this time hearing about him in the first game and the atrocities he's committed (which I suppose may be enough), but that level of evil never truly came across in-game. Kinda the same thing with Thor. Maybe that's the point? The storytelling emphasized the point that anyone, even the worst of us, can be better -- depicting too much evil onscreen may be at odds with that.
