Already pre-ordered the game and from all the dev videos that were released over the years since the announcement I was impressed. I'm hoping this game will be successful when it launchest not to mention how gorgeous the game looks.

Do you by chance know what the playstyle is like for this game? I'm getting mixed messages.

I know there will be moments that don't have any sort of combat. Not to mention the character has some sort of mental illness that will play a role during the playthrough of the campaign. I'm curious myself of what will playing in the darkness be like which was talked about by the devs.

If your skeptical maybe wait till reviews are released and see what opinions might match your own, but I'm going in without reviews since I generally more or less have a different opinion thaan reviewers have.

Why do i have a funky feeling that this game will have some fierce competition with God of War 2018? Oh wait at leaat its availabe on other platforms.

As far as Im concerned, having Ninja Theory make the game is a nice shot. Like em or hate them be ause of their DmC take, i like the visual style that this game has based on the trailer.

New trailer came out 3 hours ago. Enjoy!

Seems the game comes with a 25 minute documentary, which I'll watch before playing to get a understanding of Senua's psychosis.

 

[JJ Styles]

Bunpy bump.

So it seems that this game is getting its praise for a lot of things such as the intentinally flawed mechanics in some aspects as well as it being a somewhat good representation of a mental illness portrayed in a video game. Thits?

Looks edgy. might buy.

I'm enjoying the game, worth the $30 imo.
