Very engrossing and unique game (at least in my experience) that's the perfect length, and is extremely interesting. I'm extremely glad I didn't play this on a console, as I wouldn't have played with headphones on. PLEASE play this with some headphones; it does a fantastic job in immersing you into Senua's role.

The combat feels nice, and I grew to love the visual puzzles more and more overtime after a sort of lukewarm introduction to their implementation and frequency. And as weird as this sounds, the collectables in this game are about as numerous as they should be; there isn't an overabundance of them, but there is enough of them to do a bit of exploring off the beaten path. Plus, hearing more of Norse legends is always hella cool.

The art direction was also great; I really enjoyed how they blended live action footage with the already nice graphics. The clash they sort of create made me uneasy in a way to only immerse me more in the world. Not to mention there's some cooooool hellish visuals that were really interesting to just sit there for a moment and watch. I highly recommend this game, it's absolutely worth the praise it's been getting.
