This is not a game you play for the mechanics. This is a game you play to experience the story of Senua, a woman troubled by her own past, seeking a way forward. I wish not to spoil the story so I won’t go into any more detail. Buy the game and experience it for yourself. It is well worth the full price and it’s a damn good deal when on sale. I wish other developers would do as good a job at storytelling as the makers of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, we’d all have way more enjoyable storylines to play that don’t exclusively resolve around saving the world or something of the like. This gem sure beats any game I bought to date in terms of story and story execution. Like so many others here already suggested, I’d also recommend getting good headphones on while you play, sound is SO important in this game. All in all I'd give this gem an 11/10, a definitive must play.
