When I first played this game in 2019, I really loved the story, Senuas character and the way her mental illness was presented, and the overall presentation from her perspective, along with the general art direction. I found the combat fine but nothing exceptional. Thats more or less where I stand now, but I feel even stronger on the story of grief and acceptance told through a very unique perspective. The combat, sure, its not amazing, but its passable and doesn't make the game any worse by existing. Really though, this is an incredibly well told story with one of the best characters in video games, with a performance by Melina Juergens that rivals any of the best game performances ever. Definitely a must play just to experience it, very excited for the sequel.
