Pros: ✅

1. Captivating Storyline: Follows Senua's haunting journey through a Norse underworld to rescue her beloved. The narrative
deeply explores themes of loss, trauma, and mental illness, making for an emotionally charged experience.
2. Stunning Visuals: Features highly detailed environments with dark, atmospheric settings that immerse players in its
mythological world.
3. Authentic Representation of Psychosis: Developed in collaboration with neuroscientists and individuals with lived
experience, the game portrays Senua’s hallucinations and auditory delusions with respect and realism.
4. Immersive Audio Design: Binaural audio technology creates an unsettling, immersive experience. Playing with
headphones enhances the whispering voices that simulate Senua's psychosis.
5. Unique Combat System: Intense, one-on-one combat sequences feel visceral, though straightforward, emphasizing
Senua’s struggle rather than complex mechanics.
5. Environmental Puzzles: Engaging, symbolic puzzles that integrate well into the narrative, often requiring the player to
shift perspectives or spot hidden runes.

Cons: ❌

1. Linear Gameplay: The progression is mostly linear, with limited exploration opportunities, which may feel restrictive to
some players.
2. Repetitive Combat: Combat mechanics, while intense, can feel simplistic and repetitive over time due to limited enemy
variety.
3. Pacing Issues: Some segments may feel drawn out, particularly the puzzle-solving sections, which could affect the
game's momentum.

Overall Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5)

It really isn't combat focused - the fights are awesome though. The puzzles were a bit tedious at times. The psychosis aspect was wild and i truly feel for those that suffer from it in real life, that must be very difficult. Great game overall. Play with headphones for the best experience, the audio is epic.

one of the more unique gaming experiences i, or anyone who plays this game, will ever have. all of the elements throughout the game are helping focus on senua's mental state and her journey. beautiful environments and lighting, great sound design, amazing script, unique puzzles, and awesome voice acting make this an absolute must play. it helps that it's something that can be 100%'d in less than ten hours easily. the combat can feel a bit simplistic and not engaging enough in my opinion but this is really the only complaint i have about the game.

a truly mind-blowing experience, not due to horror or atmosphere or anything like that, but due to the extremely realistic and believable portrayal of psychosis. the fact a video game in 2017 was not just simply approaching topics like mental health, but doing so in one of the most honest and accurate depictions ever is truly amazing and i am extremely thankful that we have this game to point to when it comes to awe-inspiring achievements in gaming.
