Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

I just saw a video showcasing the Unreal 4 Engine, showing how realistic things are looking through "facetime"

This game was mentioned, showcased, and wow, its just stunning
is this a part 2 game as it sounds like a sequel to me, im certainly interested in knowing more

was really enjoying this until I hit one of the seemingly many game breaking bugs, luckly only 100mins in so can steam refund until its fixed.

How do you use steam refund? I need to use it because I bought bullet storm years ago (before Win 10) didn't play it. But now it doesn't launch or install (can't remember on Win 10).
 
What an amazing Game!! My Game of the Year! Easy
For a small time stupid these guys have created a masterpiece! Bug time Dev teams should be ashamed of themselves.

Highly Recommended!
 
It's an interesting game but I found some of the mechanics that were limiting freedom of movement very frustrating. Also annoyed that I must have missed one of the glyphs so missed the achievement :p

There are some stunning visuals and the combat is definitely satisfying, though. I can forgive the feeling of it needing something more simply because it's a small studio. :D
 
So I'm about 10 hours in now.
Just finished the Sea of Corpses area, and I'm wondering when the award winning game that everyone was banging on about turns up? :P

Is it bad? Not really
Is it good? Not by a long shot.

I get the feeling that everyone who bigged up this game was just involved in a massive circle jerk and didn't want to be the first person to criticise a game that deals with mental issues.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course but I couldn't disagree more. For me it felt like a completely unique experience, it looks stunning, loved the combat, settings, lore, story and the character Senua herself. I'll concede that it's a game that you need to embrace, feel and become immersed in - if you can't manage that, then I suppose the experience would be considerably less.
 
I'll give you that the combat is good.
It does feel meaty and satisfying.
However 90% of the enemies are basically the same and can be defeated with the same 2 moves.
And I do enjoy hearing the stories of the Northmen when you scan the circle runes.

My quote for the back of the box would be "A pretentiously 'meh' story, told via the medium of a half-arsed game."
 
Bit of a bump :p

Just been watching this on YT, never heard of it before, but looks good, and really good in UW by the sounds of it, so may pick it up :D

So basically a "black panther situation"?
 
Played this at the weekend, holy cow man it is like being in a movie.

The voices act to pile atmosphere into the experience.

It is available free to play on the XBOX Pass.
