While the gameplay of Senua's Sacrifice isn't anything new—environmental puzzles and shallow combat—the depiction of psychosis was definitely unique and its most defining feature. Throughout the game various voices would commentate and either encourage or discourage Senua, a lot of the time incessantly talking over each other. Unfortunately, being sensitive to sound, the constant whispering really got to me and even made me turn it off a few times. It's just one of those things, I guess.

That said, I enjoyed the visuals, the creature designs, and the story for the most part. It also had a great atmosphere with elements of horror.
