Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Bad gameplay, sometimes it annoying: sometimes stucking in group of enemies, vading mechaincs, stretchness of some moments. But I beat the game becouse of awesome story, main character, sound. Graphics is average but sometimes it very beautiful, main character is look realistic and animation is cool done!

The concept of the game and how puzzles are solved is fresh and interesting. Combat mechanics are amazing in my opinion. The responses are crisp and repeatable and the enemies are detailed, terrifying, and fun to fight. The audio is one of the best features of the game and I strongly recommend good heaphones. This is a beautiful game, in 4K I had to turn almost all the settings down to Medium to play it at 60 FPS but it looked great. Ansel works which allows you to pause the game and appreciate the gravity of your situation at times. Overall the game is amazing which is why I'm giving it 5 stars, and the cost was only half of a lot of AAA titles. Truthfully though, the game is woefully short and hardly utilizes the combat system to its full potential. Just 5 different attacks you can do total but combinations provide a nice variety. They mask the shallowness of the combat by not giving you any instructions, leaving you to figure it out as you go in the midst of high pressure sitatuations. I appreciated and enjoyed this but would have loved to see the combat system evolve as you progress through the game. I also would have really liked to see more enemies and more bosses. Hopefully they'll add some great DLC or take the great things from this game and apply them to something else with a little more length and depth. 13 hours and 92% achievement. I left the game on for quite a few hours during that period as well. Exciting game and I recommend purchasing it. Hope to see more from them like it in the future.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said, an experience I have never had in video game before. Just amazing.

I've played about two hours of Hellblade now, and I must say that it is excellent. It's highly atmospheric, and keeps you wondering about Senua's world. Everything in this Viking world feels deeply researched, and feels presented in as authentic a manner as this medium can present. The gameplay is challenging, but not punishing. The game also lowers or raises the difficulty depending on how well you do, so you rarely die more than twice on any truly challenging section. If you want, you can still lock the difficulty at high or low, if you want a quick story experience or brutal, punishing one. Graphics: 10/10 Story: 10/10 Gameplay: 9.5/10 Overall: 10/10 For those with budget rigs: I've played this in a laptop with a 970M GPU with no problem, and I've seen others use the 960M. I've also run it with a budget Athlon 860K CPU. The listed system requirements are far above the specs you really need to run it.

I thouroughly enjoyed the experience of this game and highly recommend buying. I wont spoil too much. The sound and visuals were very immersive, and the story and lore mixing together was done very well. In a nutshell its part beat-em-up, part walking sim, part puzzle, part movie all of them good. My only complaints are a handful of particular areas in game. (1) Hitbox glitches [even on doors] can be a bit of a pain (2) In the second to last stage of the game [castle area] my framerates dropped significantly and there was some stuttering despite my gaming rig being very good. I think there may just be too many moving objects on screen to keep stable framerate even with vsync. (3) Most of the puzzles felt on-point and clever with a theme or an area of attention, however a couple seemed random and thrown in...which was annoying. (4) Some of the cinema style events seemed a bit long and repeated taking away from the moment and immersion, it seems like the type of thing that could be fixed with a little editing.
