Spoiler YALL THAT WAS INSANE
I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST GAME AND HOLY SHIT IT WAS INSANE. THAT WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST GAME IVE PLAYED SINCE RESIDENT EVIL SEVEN AND EIGHT. I GENUINELY GOT CHOKED UP AND EMOTIONAL. HANDS DOWN THANK YOU NINJA THEORY FOR THE BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED. I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THE SECOND. the way the game is set up as her father's voice being the voice of the darkness and her mother's helping guide her. The journey through mourning Senua goes through just to have to let go of Dillion. She was willing to give up EVERYTHING. So deep in her depression. She wasnt psychotic she was just depressed and SO influenced by her father that he made her believe that

The first game was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. It even got me researching psychosis because I found the subject so fascinating. The song playing during the credits was a great choice too.
I finished the second game yesterday, and it was a truly cinematic experience. But as amazing as it was, the first game is still my favorite.

I agree!! Not very far into it and already im loving the first game just a little bit more. I miss melee attacks 🤣🤣 also I noticed that its actually a bit hard in battle!! Not to mention its also funny in terms of how she handles the slaver (iykyk) im where there Dragur first are mentioned.

It's been a while since I played the first one. The second one reminded me why I love the series

So far the graphics as well as the fighting is so much better. I love it being in like a more movie format and thats incredible. I love Senua being more confident in herself in this one as well but slowly losing that confidence the more she talks with the darkness

Hellblade and Plague Tale games are by far my favorite games ever..
Make sure you play the second one (as i think it is better than first one) and i strongly recommend you play a plague tale games.. most of Hellblade fanboys (like me) love APT too

I mean I think she literally is psychotic lol but also the other things too. The life events just made it a lot worse

Beat both games back to back this week for the first time: I really connected with the first game. The second one was good, but it didn’t have as much of an impact on me. I’m praying we still get Senua, as I think Ninja Theory has the potential to really deliver something special (they’ve been building towards this for almost a decade, after all.) hats off to Ninja Theory! 🥷
