This is a game about the darkness inside of you and struggling with your internal demons and mental illness. It is difficult to tell if everything that happens to Senua is actually occurring or if she is simply being tormented by her own madness as she deals with the grief of losing her loved one.
However, while the story, acting and character work is fantastic, the gameplay is riddled with endless repetitive combat sequences and overused puzzles that ask you to do the same thing over and over again. One seriously hopes that the sequel adds some more variety and depth to the gameplay moving forward.
Definitely still worth a playthrough - the trials of odin in particular contain some of the most haunting sequences I've ever experienced even if the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
Looking forward to what comes next.

What Ninja Theory have pulled off here artistically and experientially pretty special. The choice to shape and design the game experience around a mental condition like Psychosis truly makes it an innovative video game with plenty of triple A trimmings to boot. Only minor drawbacks include what feels like a limited scope of enemy variety and combat. Melina Juergens' in the title role is right up there with the best mocap video game performances of the modern era. As well as the supporting cast being very strong. One of the few games i would say is essential for headphones.
