VERDICT:
Well that was a journey I didn't expect on taking, but now that it's over, I fee like i'm suffering from withdrawal. The voices that you hear, makes you miss them when they're gone in a strange messed up way. None of the things Senua goes through are good but you're glad that you went through them with her. That's my take on the psychological trauma she battles through.
In the end, the game is mainly a story telling one, with a few simple puzzles and a nice handful of enemies to fight along the way. A lot of players didn't think there were enough fighting but that's just an opinion, try not to focus too much on the combat and more on the battling that's going on in Senua's head.
Total Score = 94/100.
GAMEPLAY:
Set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, the game follows Senua, a Pict warrior who must make her way to Helheim by defeating otherworldly entities and facing their challenges, in order to rescue the soul of her dead lover from the goddess Hela.
