A Pretentious Fart
Let me get the initial praise out of the way: the game is gorgeous, the soundtrack is pretty nifty, and the art direction is impecable. That's the end of the strict praise. The use of real-world psychology is very commendable, but it causes harm to the messaging when set in a fantastic universe such as this. It is often unclear whether the voices are in Senua's head, memories the audience is getting to see to apply context to the current situation, or magical visuals that are really taking place. This makes it unclear what the exact message the game is trying to get across, which might be the point, but clairity is much more important than the ambiguous "artistic merit." Here comes the criticism. The combat and responsiveness are pretty lacking. Many times throughout, the game will throw several enemies at you in a tight space with you, while the combat is designed for one on one encounters. The primary issue with this is that you can get easily stunlocked if you are either wedged into a corner by two enemies, or if the dodge button decides it doesn't want to register for some reason. This happened to me in about 40% of the combat encounters, which is a significant portion of the players time. Focus will also either snap wildly, spinning you in circles, or it will not snap, leading to you being hit from the side or dodging in the wrong direction, taking damage anyway. Overall, I despise this game. While the graphics are incredible, the gameplay, story, and moral messaging are all great in concept, but fall flat on their face. What makes me hate this game is its theme. Unless I misunderstood it, it is an incredbily simple concept told condescendingly to the player as if it were a profound discovery. A pretentious fart that wasted 6.5 hours of my time.
