Honestly one of the best story-based puzzle games I have ever played in my entire life. The combat sections are hard but fun and rewarding when you parry correctly. And witnessing Senua descend into madness every so often was jarring but seeing her fight back against was motivating for me to keep going and as well as for personal reasons. Currently ive been going through a rough patch but playing the game and fighting off the northman and refusing to succumb to madness related to me in a way as to keep pressing on and to keep going and you will fight off all your mental demons you are dealing with. Bit of a long and personal review of this game but it really stuck with me and i loved it, can't wait for Hellblade II now.

This game is Arkane at their best with great story-telling and the ability to play however you may whether it is go loud and chaotic and be quick and stealthily. Or having to take out a target using a poison drink or to have them dealt with non-lethally. Dishonored is one of Arkane's best works and I hope for both a new possibly entry in the series and for Arkane to go back to their roots with their upcoming Blade game rather than some game where the team is forced to making something they have no passion or care for (looking at you Redfall).
