Having played through this game to the end twice now, it has been one Hela an amazing experience (pun intended). I really love what Ninja Theory has done with this work of art from the story to the environment design and I consider this game to be one of the best story-immersive games out there due to the amazing sound design as well. This game takes its time to build up its story so if you're that kind of person who always wants action, HellBlade may be a bit slow for your liking. If not, I definitely recommend that you should pick this up as your next adventure game and give it a try.

Oh and you should play this game with your best set of headphones. I highly recommend you do that. If not, you'll only be robbing yourself of the full experience.

The only thing that I did not like was that not all keyboard actions are listed in the control menu where it tells you what each button does since there is no tutorial. To save you some hassle of figuring it out yourself, I discovered two actions you can do in combat that are not listed in the menu:
1.) Tab - Allows you to switch between enemy targets
2.) Hold down the Heavy Attack button - Prepares a sort of charge attack in which Senua holds her sword upright. You can also do some quick dodge maneuvers while in this state by moving left or right. This move can only be done after a certain point in the game which I won't mention to avoid spoliers but I'm pretty sure it will be obvious when the point is.

I want to point out that there is a warning at the very beginning of the game in which if you are a sufferer of psychosis, playing this game may be...distressing for you.
