this game was art in every kind of way

this was art

This is one of the Xbox masterpieces. I love everything about this game, especially the 3D audio feature. This gives me chills more than any horror games I've played. The immersion is too strong. Not focused on jump scares or anything but will simply make your spine chill due to its compelling narration and the psychological warfare Senua is battling. Hoping to play the sequel of this game.!

one of Xbox Masterpieces

I tried Hellblade several years ago on PS4. It had a game ending bug where I couldn’t progress in the game past the first part. I bought it on the Switch, but I never played it on there. When it came out for Xbox Series X, I thought this was the time. It’s a beautiful game in 4k with raytracing. It’s an intense game experience- especially with headphones on. The 3D audio is excellent. It’s an emotional game- but that’s a good thing. I like games that make you feel something. The only downside was that there were too many rune puzzles- they became kind of tedious. But other than that, I really enjoyed the experience. I’m glad there’s a sequel coming in at some point. I could see playing this game again in the future.

Excellent Emotional Game!

it is an interesting game that i have ever played. Im usually not into those psychological gams but this one got me so i beat it in a week. graphs are great on series x, story is ok. puzzles are weak as you feel you are beating the same puzzle over and over again. kombat dynamics are weak. there are 3-4 tricks and you do same moves, nothing interesting.

ı give a 7 out of 10.
