Kratos can’t use his full powers from Greece because, according to Atreus, Freya said magic is bound to the earth, and when his homeland (Greece) died, his powers probably went with it, and he’s also holding back. Additionally, he lacks his tools and magic that he was borrowing from other gods of Olympus.

Kratos, being the God of War, had quasi-invulnerability, enhanced strength, and combat skills, but after moving to the Norse realm, he is unable to use his full powers from Greece due to the destruction of his homeland and the loss of his magical abilities.
