It's quite a unique game, that's for sure. Playing it with headphones is amazing, and its best aspect definitely is the atmosphere that it mamages to deliver. It's spooky as anything can get. I honestly had to turn down the volume in multiple occasions because the audio alone creeped me out. I don't really have experience with horror stuff, but I still think Hellblade shines in that area.
They also nailed it with the historical background and medical topics. It's very interesting, engrossing and even informative. Once you see the presentation video, you get to appreciate a lot of things that appear in the game. Everything is well thought-out.
I have mixed feelings on the gameplay, though. There's just too much FOCUS going on, and while I understand why, it can become tiresome in some occasions. It's not that bad considering the game lasts just the right time to not make it a significant problem, but the initial symptomps are there.
Still, it's a nice game.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
