What counts towards IGT (in game time)
From my testing, this is what counts towards IGT:
- Cutscenes
- Deaths/restart checkpoints (so it's not like GoW1 where if you die the igt resets to what it was before)
- Portals
- Shops
This is what does not count towards IGT:
- Loads
- Pause menu (pressing the options button)
- Weapons/map menu (pressing the touchpad)
Another important thing to consider: IGT starts counting on the main menu, before starting a new game! So when starting a run, you should open a savefile, and, when ready, rush through the menu as quick as possible after quitting the current save.
Svartalfheim Glitchless and Valhalla Any%
With the discovery of a big skip that saves over 10 minutes in the beginning of the game, the Svartalfheim% NG+ category has a new Standard Glitchless subcategory, for those that don't want to perform this glitch. Since this skip is only possible on NG+, the non-NG+ Svartalfheim category is unchange
