This is such a good game. It’s at least an 8. It is a sheer joy to play and one of the best games to play coop in a long long time. If you’re on the fence, stop reading reviews and just buy it. You won’t regret it.
Eventually got round to playing this game - this review was rather tempting. The game is ok. Not great. It does have a mildly addictive loop and the on-demand music is very relaxing. For a game with shallow systems, I was surprised that it kept me coming back. Would I recommmend it? Nah. But I am kinda happy I played it. It was on my to-play list for ages.
I think 6/10 is a more accurate reflection of this game. It has some good ideas that are never really fleshed out - it’s pretty much a mile wide and an inch deep. That doesn’t quite cut a 7 in my books.
Finally started Hellblade. I’m a few hours in and very impressed all round. The game looks and feels great, and the sound design is exceptional - I recommend playing it on a decent headset for maximum immersion. It’s been a while since a game relentlessly held my attention from the opening scene and Hellblade does this effortlessly. The immersion is real.
Really good review (as always). It’s one of those games that just can’t be compared with anything else available at the moment and should be filed under “must experience”. If you’re on the fence with Hellblade, you needn’t be, it’s a truly unique gaming experience that I highly recommmend.
