    Photorealistic walking simulator

    Controls? Meh, movement speed is too slow. Gameplay? For every 30 minutes of walking and walking and walking... there's 5-10 minutes of fighting (Combat system is kinda fun). Graphics? Only the protagonist's model is a c... Read Full Review

    Fantastic Game But Terrible Puzzles

    Hellblade was a fantastic experience overall but with a couple very big issues. One major issue with it was was the puzzles. I despised the many puzzles where you had to find a specific rune shape hidden somewhere in th... Read Full Review

    This wonderfully original dark tale carefully tackles mental illness through an engaging experience.

    I knew very little about Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice before starting it up other than the fact that it was generally well received. Now that I've played through Hellblade I can say with confidence this is probably one o... Read Full Review

    Perfect, Very good.

    Their music, visuals and story really make the game feel and give it an atmosphere. One of the rare and beautiful games I've played in my life. This game is really perfect. Thanks to Ninja Theory and everyone who c... Read Full Review
