Hellblade was a nice change of pace for me. Keep in mind that this game is more about the experience than gameplay.

+Graphics are very impressive and rival the best
+Audio is fantastic and I do highly recommend using headphones to get the full experience
+Story is engaging and you feel for Senua and her relationships
+Some intense moments keep you on the edge of your seat

-Puzzles become repetitive and sometimes frustrating trying to line up symbols perfectly
-Combat is very basic and repetitive

Overall 8/10

Took me about 9 hours to finish and I don't plan on making the journey again.

The original game had an orgy with The Last of Us, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 7 and RE4.. Then a child was accidentally conceived.. It wasn't intentional.. After all, the orgy was just for fun.. but the child was so special that they decided to keep it and they named it The Evil Within 2.

This game is badass from start to finish.

+Open world areas allow for freedom and choice
+Sound Effects and Audio are top notch and drive the horror experience
+New game mechanics and improvements upon old ones
+Excellent Graphics at 4K with maxed settings. I couldn't push 60FPS but still looked great
+Limited ammo and supplies force you to utilize every piece of gear efficiently and effectively
+This game had a lot of intense moments that keep you on the edge of your seat and some that just straight scare the ♥♥♥♥
out of you.

- Voice acting was good but a little cheesy in some parts although I'm sure this is intentional
- Vehicles look a little dated
- The game ends.. Although I may actually replay this eventually on a new game plus mode.

9/10

Warcraft III and Civilization V had a baby.. they abandoned that baby.. Vikings found that baby and raised it as their own.. That baby grew into Northgard..

Overall this is the best Tales game out there in my opinion.

Not worth the price. I'm not going to give it a thumbs down though. These are great classic games but you can easily play these through emulation.. If you're dead set on getting this, just wait for a sale..

I liked some of the cool extras like being able to scroll through the soundtracks and steam achievements are cool.. but ridiculously difficult.

Loved this game when I was a kid. Still holds up well. Some cool new little options for this version and steam achievements too.

Would be nice if they incorporated these little perks into LBA2 Twinsens Odyssey too!

I've never been a loyal fan to the series but I do enjoy this game.
Graphics are excellent. Tactical missions are great and allow for a lot of freedom. Mother base is fun to expand.
There's a lot to do and there's a ton of different ways you can go about doing it. The storyline and cutscenes are phenomenal too.

The introduction was one of the best intro's I've seen in a game in a long time.. Very badass.

This is one of the best classic remakes I've seen. Period.
If you enjoy platformers then pick up this classic. They did a great job.
The overwhelming positive reviews for this game should tell you enough.

Bought it once. Played for an hour. Requested refund.
Bought it in a Humble Bundle. Played for 2 hours. Got hooked.
Killed. Looted. Leveled up. Grinded some more. Beat the game at about 17+ hours of gameplay..

Tons of replayability though, but I have way too many games to play through so I'll have to move on.

Give this game more of a chance in the early stages.. I shouldve done that my first time around.
This game is a definite gem that deserves to sit right alongside the best ARPG's out there.

Burn the damn village, burn the girl, burn this whole damn world.. Mwahahahaha
