A great story with some frustrations

Addressing the point that almost every other reviewer is making - the story in this game is absolutely phenominal. Without giving too much away the ending works well and is delivered in a way that is impactful. On to the frustrations - very minor frustrations really. The majority of this game involves solving puzzles with little combat, you do a lot of walking around and while the visuals are stunning it can feel a bit tedious and repetitive at times. For me, that aspect was right at that point where you give the game a break and get ready to move on to something else but get drawn back because of how good the story is. I understand that this is part of the story, but this game almost takes it too far (at least for me). The combat itself is very basic, you're essentially limited to two defenseive, and two offensive actions. With that said, at times the combat can still be quite unforgiving. This style works when your focus is telling an interactive story and experience, which ultimately is what this game is doing (and does well). If that story telling genre is your thing you will definitely enjoy this game.

Emotionally Effective

Qualifications: I played and finished this game once on a GTX 1080 on a 4K monitor (downscaled to reach ~60fps) with headphones. I probably chose the default difficulty. I played this with a controller. Visual/Audio: This is a beautiful game and if you can play it at full 4K I heartily recommend it. Being AA, there is some minor wonkiness but nothing horrendously broken. If you can, play this game with headphones not only because the mixing is great but also because it's used to great effect in combat later on. Combat: If you think you're having issues with the combat, feel free to look up a guide as the game doesn't tutorialize anything and tries to communicate purely through audio/visual means. Thankfully, the combat doesn't demand too much from you, but that also means you shouldn't expect much variety either. My only real gripe was with the visually ambiguous lock-on which can cause frustration when it's not clear whom Senua will actually try to hit. The camera is also claustrophobic so you'll need to get used to a snappy auto lock-on camera with a very low FOV. I suggest leaning back with a controller. There were also puzzles and I almost forgot to include them. They take up 80% of the game and are kind of blandly simple. The only times I got stuck were because I missed a hallway usually. Story: I am not in any position to discuss the mental health topics portrayed in this game but at least I can say that the portrayal was effective and is well-woven into a Nordic odyssey reaching down into the depths of Hel. However, I do have to admit that while the latter levels reach great peaks in level design, I kind of lost the emotional thread by story's end. Part of this was because the ending felt abrupt but also because the "demon-on-your-shoulder" just sounded really hammy and cheap compared to everyone else's performances. Miscellany: There are lorestones that give lore. They're kind of dry and sometimes interrupt otherwise tense downtime.

Great Storytelling, Atmosphere, Acting

I played through this on Gamepass and I absolutely loved it. Bought it again on discount here on GOG just to support the developers when it went on sale. The combat isn't anything to write home about, but the storytelling is really good. They did an excellent job and the acting is top tier for a video game, in my opinion. The main character is so well portrayed and is so easy to empathize with that it is very easy to ignore the more monotonous aspects of the game, like the combat or the "puzzles". The puzzles are probably the worst part of the game, but they're not that bad. It just results in a lot of loading screens. Stick with it for the storytelling, atmosphere, and character development. That is where this game really shines.

Good game and story, ok combat

Good graphics. The storytelling was really good, except that I had to watch the feature film in the menu to understand what the game was about, that it all was in her head. I would propably have enjoyd the game more if I knew this from the start or got to know this in a thought through way in the game. The combat was good when facing two enemies at max, but it was lacking when facing three or more. You're constantly targetlocked to enemies and can't run freely when in combat.
