Hellblade? Hell, made me want to watch a movie instead. Senua sacrificed fun so the cutting edge effects and textures could live.

The story stuff is sometimes actually incredible. This girl goes through a lot of horrible things to just get by and you want to see her make it through. The game part of the game is torturously boring. The entertainment is the cutscenes and not all the visual tricks to pad the runtime and mask loading.

I have been thinking that these folks should make movies ever since they released Heavenly Sword on the PS3. Even the DMC reboot had good cutscene direction and these folks are clearly skilled in that way.

It beats spending time making games that are not really games but are kind of enough of a game to qualify as a game but there's a clear lack of investment in the game part of the game. You know what I mean? It's that kind of game. By that I mean a game enough to be put on game pass but barely passes as a game.

I've only retained what this and the sequel are because she shows her teeth a bunch. Huge chompers. I assume you bite a lot of stuff but idk
