Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a dark yet beautiful tale based in Norse mythology. The game manages to captivate the player as you follow Senua on her quest through Hel to save a loved one's soul while dealing with her own mental illness and crippling psychosis.

Pros:
+Excellent Story: A captivating story detailing the struggles of Senua on her quest.
+Excellent Graphics: The grim yet beautiful visuals simply compliment the story & gameplay.
+Great Combat: The combat system makes good use of light & heavy attacks as well as a solid defense.
+Great perspective based puzzles which allows the player to alter certain aspects of the world.
+Good Controls: The game's controls are simple & responsive complementing combat & puzzle solving.
+Excellent soundtrack which features the work of Andy LaPlegua of Combichrist.

Cons:
-Horrible camera angles at times that simply hinders combat can make gameplay frustrating.
-The puzzle elements may become boring by the end of the game since they can be repetitive.
-Not much replay value apart from achievement hunting in the event you missed a lorestone for the "Stories From the North" achievement.
