It's a first-person, action-adventure indie game in a dark fantasy setting; specifically the Nordic age- Vikings! It caught my attention one sizzling summer sale on Steam; it was 80% off and Senua's face was just too enchanting.

| Look at those eyes! She's batshit crazy! I love it! |
Now that I've gone through Senua's adventure, here is my say:
Graphics, Character Design and Audio
The characters in this game are really appealing in an artistic and representational sense. I see Senua alone as flawless, and ironically it's because of her amazing flaws: crazy eyes, asymmetrical face and the no-shower-all-power vibe.
- a gameplay of my favorite part of the game -
The entire game is lush with on-point lighting effects, I'm talking about when the sun hits your POV and you get second-blinding-glimps. (I don't know what you call them) The scenes where you enter these dream-like and nightmarish episodes are very convincing.

The SFX is really interesting, especially the different personalities that surround Senua. If you're familiar with ASMR there are moments that feel like that. It's when some sounds or voices are heard exclusively on your left ear only and others on your right. They get loud and soft randomly so there's this tingling sensation.

| I occasionally listen to ASMR Darling. It's a long story how I stumbled on ASMR shit. |
Senua
In the first few minutes of the game, it's almost easy to tell that there is something not quite right with Senua. There are voices surrounding her, like mites crawling in and out of the hive, they are present all throughout the game.
 |
| I don't want to say more about these voices, in case you want to play the game. |
Because of this honesty; her very flawed and unsettled, but determined, personality, I loved her instantly.
Senua's predicament is something anyone can relate to, given that the summary of her situation is actually universal;
Facing Your Demons.
standby for Part 2, I'm seriously haggard right now.
