I don't write reviews normally. I look into other's reviews to influence what I buy but think I've maybe ever written 2-3 myself. This game hit me right in the feels and hard at that. Fantastic story writing, the voice acting is way above par and the combat is gritty and satisfying. The conclusion went 180 degrees opposite of what I expected which I absolutely adored for being nothing predictable. From the strength of the trailer I paid full price for this which is something I nearly never do but am glad that I did as I would like to see this developer go on to make more games like this. Tremendously great game.

Edit: I swear that my grammar isn't this horrific normally, I had at least half a dozen strong drinks about the time I finished HellBlade and my fuzzy euphoria didn't lend itself to writing.

tl:dr Game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome
