This would be one star if it weren't for an impressive horror sequence halfway through.
It's certainly a pretty game, but looks don't mean anything if they get in the way of playing the damned thing. It's so insistent on maintaining its cinematic approach that there are no button prompts, no feedback on what you're pressing. It's a game where the block button is more of a suggestion than a command!
Choices equally baffling and infuriating dogged us throughout our playthrough, leading up to an underwhelming ending. If there's ever a Hellblade III, let's hope Senua finds a better saga.
