If purgatory is anything like this game I'm soo down.

3 core thoughts after 4 playthroughs:

• I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT SVAVELSTICKAN DOES WITH EPISODE 1
  
  
• I AM TERRIFIED TO SEE WHAT THE UNDERTALE COMMUNITY WILL DO TO THIS GAME
  
  
• FIRST LEVEL OF EPISODE 1 IS OUT NOW GO TO PROPERTIES ENABLE THE V3 BETA & HIT ESC AT THE MENU

Short and sweet, but a little too short and could've been sweeter.

There were maybe 2 good puzzles in the whole game, and a narrative that starts getting interesting an hour before the finish line.

Felt like the whole game was building to something way bigger than it did.

I would still recommend this game to someone who likes the art direction, as the world is well-built. Every moment on screen is background-worthy, and the scoring was outstanding, but gameplay and story left a lot to be desired.

Great game if you're buying to play the campaign.

Online part sucks due to hackers and exploiters, as well as greedy developers. Skip on this one unless you're only looking to try out single-player.

Edit: Got banned this week for no reason at all. Great.

This game is everything you wanted from Gang Beasts and/or Nidhogg 1 & 2...

But the online feature actually works as intended.

Can't wait to see what's down the line as far as updates.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
I initially bought this game as a skeptic after watching the third trailer, where images and quotes are faded in and out of the screen, I thought; there's no way a videogame could be so moving as described in the testimonials, so I had to try it for myself.

From start to finish I was glued to this game, forcing myself to take one break- it was almost 4AM, with an 8AM day coming... The game takes you through Senua's quest to find Dillion, her love, and fight The Darkness. I won't get into the mental-health side of things, as I don't find myself well-versed in that subject, but experiencing the visions and hallucinations Senua goes through was super intense and really made you feel for her. Cutscenes are the only time you'll feel really safe.

The voice acting in this game is absolutely amazing and the visuals are stunning!

Puzzles: I've seen some complaints around forums about the puzzles in this game, and I will admit they are a little odd and strenuous, literally noticing the smallest coincidences in the SHAPE of RANDOM OBJECTS are what drives the majority of puzzles. but I believe they add to the feeling of hardship you're supposed to see in Senua's mind as she struggles with the difference between what's real and what's her imagination.

I had only one minor issue with this game that do absolutely nothing to take away from the story, but I believe it's worth mentioning.

Combat.
Combat felt oddly repetitive and easy, I found myself easily mowing down enemies after noticing their few basic attack types. I felt like every boss fight was similar in that your mode of success was to spam dodge and attack. The game does a great job of keeping your fights super-intense through use of visuals, sound, and other elements that present themselves throughout the playthrough. Also, Senua only has a few (maybe 8 or 9) attacks. Maybe I didn't explore the combative side enough, but after a while I began to notice the same exact combos rolling out over and over, and I guess I expected more attention to stuff like that coming from the same Devs who developed Devil May Cry. There are definitely differences in the way this game uses combat to drive the story, which is a smart move by the devs, but I feel like there could have been more.

All-in-all I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a great story backed up by fun gameplay and audible/visible candy.

Fun, open-world PVP/PVE melee combat game. You are able to forge your own combat decks (combos and moves) as well as train with friends or in the combat trials.

Could use some more content, but that is to be expected from a brand new Early Access game

Bought this game as a joke...





It was a bad joke.

A script is hanging.







Tried to get the game to work for about 53 minutes.
There isn't much on fixing this issue on Google either.

Beautiful story and artistic masterpiece makes me ignore the fresh poo in my trousers and keep playing.
