The wooden bridge battle tested my patience somewhat.
The ending isn't quite what i imagined it might be.

I figured the whole game was in the mind of someone with mental health issues. In their mind they created Senua and the world she inhabited. I part expected the ending to show someone waking up in hospital, in a very modern world.
That battle was a real bastard.

I also had to look at a walkthrough for the final boss as I couldn't see a way passed the waves of bad guys. Realising what had to happen and doing it artificially made the ending slightly anticlimactic. But I still love it and count it among my favourites of the generation.

I'll remember the game for it's great looking locations and all manner of after FX added to them. The fighting side of Hell Blade was it's weakness, as they felt unnecessary, over long, designed to drag the game out longer. I liked the use of live action footage for some of the characters as it blended in well in the way it was used. The audio was rather good also.
