Hellblade is a complicated game for me personally. I loved the environments and the unique puzzles found scattered throughout however, I felt that the camera placement was oppressive and inhibited the combat from being enjoyable. The narrative is deep and full of examples of the struggle faced daily by people who suffer from mental health issues. That being said the story is also very vague and did not land with me personally. I also missed out on the sound design in the game which I’m sure colors my impression of it a good deal. Overall the game is good and atmospheric but falls just shy of being great for me.
