Comment on Hellblade developer Ninja Theory heading towards closure in new wave of Xbox cuts, as two separate agreements collapse

  I thought it was interesting enough of a premise that I played the first game. The audio design was top notch, especially the voices in her head of course. But the plot went absolutely nowhere, and it doesn’t have anything to say about psychosis or the causes and consequences of it. And isthe combat is bad. There was no world where I would have played the second game unless it reviewed differently.

      What does it say about the game, that you need to recommend supplemental material so one can get this supposed message?

  You gonna also comment on how mind-numbingly pedestrian the combat was? The uninspired puzzles? Or did you just watch the game on YouTube?

  Like, I’m glad the game changed your life, but we’re hear to discuss video games and you’re surprised someone called a glorified walking simulator boring?

    Walking simulators aren’t even a bad genre if the story is good enough, but the story didn’t have much to say either.
