Game: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Playtime: 5.5h
Completion: Main


Story:
|Tale for the ages|
|Great|
|Good|
|Ok| <-----------
|Bad|
|Horrible|
|Don't even try to understand it|
|None|

Notes: There is a lack of continuity and explanation for
what the main antagonist is after and why it does
what it does. The details of norse mythology are
scattered and difficult to piece together as a whole.


OST/Sound Design:
|Masterpiece|
|Great|
|Good|
|Ok|
|Bad|
|Annoying but bearable|
|Unbearable| <-----------

Notes: That's on me, but i hated the constant talking all
throughout the game. This made me feel anxious and
impatient. Sensory overload is how i would summarize
it.

Gameplay:
|Fantastic|
|Great|
|Good|
|Ok|
|Bad| <-----------
|Clunky|
|Unbearable|

Notes: The idea is that thia game is like a playable movie and
it does that part right. BUT, everything else is undeniably
bad. Puzzles are made for 3 y.o and combat is so basic
i started questioning if it even added anything to the game.

Difficulty:
|Skill Issue|
|Quite the challenge|
|Hard|
|Normal|
|Kinda easy|
|Easy|
|Is this a joke?|
|Walking simulator| <-----------

Notes: Sit back and watch, nothing else to say.

Art direction:
|Perfection|
|Beautiful| <-----------
|Nice to look at|
|Ok|
|Meh|
|Lifeless|
|Awful|

Notes: One of the few good things this game got going
for it. It represents well the depths of troubled
mind and how the world would be seen by the
protagonist's eyes. A dark and sad setting to
accompany a dark and sad journey.

Bosses:
|I could do this over and over and never get tired|
|Pretty satisfying|
|Good|
|Ok|
|Bad|
|Let's get this over with already| <-----------
|Just let me through, please|
|NO BOSSES|

Notes: Bosses are too basic to be enjoyable. They're a
tier above the normal enemies, but not much higher.
Bosses' movesets are too simple and repetitive.
These bosses served their purposes story wise, but
that's it.

Score: 5/10

Conclusion: This is game and i judge it as such. This game
would have been way more enjoyable if it was
a movie instead of a game. This is NOT a game
for you to have fun, instead it was made to
to be appreciated, just like a movie. I DO NOT
recommend for anyone looking for good gameplay.
