Highly recommend this experience. A visual treat, with some interesting exploration and storytelling, very intense and trippy environments and an uncomfortable feeling that just resonates throughout. Must play - only about 5 hours long

A stunning game and concept that should be experienced by more, a beautiful experience at times, scary at others, and all very well directed. It is cheap and worth picking up for the 2 hours it takes to experience, as it will stand out

Hellblade was a game I watched for a while, not quite believing it could achieve what it seemed to be showing off. The visuals were amazing, beutiful animations and a unique captivating story.

This game achieved this over and over. The game has an incredibly unique premise and setting, a rich storytelling talent, and some of the most incredible visual (achievable with the witchcraft that is UE4). Although linear, the game tells a winding story where you genuinly care for Senua, and you feel what she is feeling, and experience these deep fears and illnesses in her head all throughout.

If you are looking for a beautiful, atmospheric, real story, please pick this up.

An interesting game. Overall it is a puzzle game, just one long puzzle. This is punctuated by a massive in game lore that is presented in the form of collectable notes and items (some with funny descriptions, most with try-hard to be funny descriptions), and post it notes showing the back and forth between 2 of the NPCs.

The games puzzles are a bit obscure, and need a level of "look at and try to pick up everything" about it.

The visuals are fine, the locations are full of props the just make the places you explore feel lived in and experienced. characters arent really around much, but those that do appear feel a little bit sloppy. They are voice acted fine and are written well

It is a fairly good game, and I would recommend it mainly for the exploration and the interesting story, but you need to be prepared to take it slowly and make sure you read everything to truly understand the world you are exploring.

I came in to this game knowing full well that it would be a pretty short but moving game, however I was very surprised to find an incredibly heartfelt story, presented in such unique and thought provoking ways. The world you explore was so rich and detailed, I just wanted to explore it forever, it was all so well thought and personal. Gameplay is simply but still engaging, you dont get mired down in controls, you just experience it.

If it is on your wishlist, bump it up, this game is worth every penny and second spent
