Rate top gamesAn incredible game with amazing visuals, simple but intuitive combat system, and a captative story that full of Nordic mythology. Despite all this, Hellblade has some off-putting weak points, like very little evolution and diversity in terms of enemies throughout the game and puzzles that end up being repeated too many times, some bad acting on the live action put discreetly into it. This game also ruins your experience a lot with a stale ending and a HORRIBLE and super misplaced song for the credits.

Dense atmosphere, great sound design, very pretty, but ultimately disappointing. The apparent bold and unique vision for the game's narrative devolves into something pretty generic by the end. This is a real bummer since the game starts with so much promise.
combat is decent, puzzles are repetitive but level design changes it up enough to stay fresh for the couple hours it takes to finish this game.
I honestly don't have much to say about the psychosis part because I have no experience with psychosis whatsoever.
My only real gripe here is the absolute abysmal walking speed
The story, atmosphere and visuals are amazing! The game takes place in some very interesting places. But the actual gameplay... While the puzzles and combat feel OK in the beginning, towards the end I just felt annoyed when I saw a door with runes on it or Senua drew her sword. And the length of the combat phases as well as their frequency just went up in the last chapters.
