Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

pooly optimized. Please fix bugs, it's unplayable at some moment. pésima optimizacion, Senua se queda pegada y la única forma de moverse es reiniciando el juego.

劇情耐人尋味，但遊戲的流暢度不如預期，多處卡點，導致要一直重讀進度，玩得有點心累

I'm sorry to say that this was not a good game. I'll begin with the positive since I still want to give some credits to things that are of extremely high quality like : - Melina Juergens is simply amazing. Both the motion capture and the voice acting is incredible and MUST be admired as It is way better than most AAA these days. Hats off to her because she carried the immersion with ease. - Sound design is really nice and immersive. Again, of very high quality, especially with the voices that fell like they're all around you. The meh : - the graphics were looking really great but there were A LOT of clipping issues, even in the freaking intro with Senua's hair clipping inside her back. On a game that is 90% immersion, this really adds insult to injury. I put it in meh because the graphics quality was still very good most of the time. - the combat : while satisfying with its combos and Senua's movements, the combat failed to be entertaining for me. I set the difficulty to Auto and was really bored with the enemies quick. The difficulty was more about the amount of enemies than the enemies themselves. This is clear synthetic difficulty like "Let's not design a very hard and scary enemy, let's just throw 3 normal ones at the same time". Yeah, great. The ending section is a literal joke where they try to throw as much as they can just to make it longer. And now for the negatives : - The Furies are worst than a twitch chat backseating you while blaying the game. I can't count how many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times they told me to "use my charge attack" or "focus" or were trying to help me find a door I already knew about. The idea of voices inside your head is really good but unfortunately, they quickly become annoying to the point I was actually glad when they were shutting their trap. It's also pretty ironic for the game to have no tutorial for immersion, yet the Furies are always trying to tell you what to do. - The overall story : a classic Orpheus and Eurydice myth but executed poorly in my opinion, especially at the end where it goes completely bananas. Like, really, even the wiki does not know how to explain wtf is gong on. I get that she finally let go and that's a good morale but the rest of the ending is really not good at all. Nonlinear storytelling is original but it requires extreme caution not to end up badly. Unfortunately here, It did not land for me and I exited the game confused about the exact timeline of events. - The horror : this game is never scary. I was hyped with the voices and the ambiance in the intro but these are quickly forgotten and the game never accomplished to scare me at all. I felt slightly amused most of the time and just stressed in chase sequences because I did not want to die and do them again. This feeling is a BIG no no in horror games (see Markiplier's rant on Poopy Playtime) - The ending section : Just throwing lots of enemies and bosses reskin is really not making your ending memorable at all. Just some tedious trials to get it over with. In the end, the game is not horrendous but it's just not good because it greatly fails at some things that are its pillars.
