|ose this fight. The voices even tell you to give in

waves of enemies and the boss at the center of the arena you can't even touch?

The voices told me/her so many times to give up, why would we listen to them now?

Where the music swells, the focus attacks become much more powerful as you storm towards hela, and you can just feel the energy and senuas determination... That bit was great, but the fights that came after the initial Aran/platform, and everything else really, just wasn't quite right.

normal Happy Ending or something like it? after all of this, really?
The game couldn't end in any other way imho it's perfect in it's own way, just google an explanation if you didn't understand all of it.

i was expecting a very crushing ending.

i guess i didnt like how we snap back to.. i guess, what we ASSUME is finally reality.. and shes just in some non-descript place, and its like 'yup, was all a dream, im much better now that ive faced my dark inner self and have found my strength and belief in myself, yay!' and then walks off into the light.

I did like some aspects of it, i appreciated how the voices didnt 'magically 'disappear, and she still has some 'ticks' about her condition that remain and stuff...

i GOT it, i just wasnt satisfied by how some of it was handled. I expected that we would at least be back in her village all this time, or even that we HAD journeyed to a viking village and were just slaughtering innocent farmers or whatever, while our mind turned it into a journey into hel.. ANYTHING but just a snap back to reality as if nothing occurred and it was all 'just a dream'.

I just needed where she physically was to mean something to the narrative - like i said,
either back at the foot of her lover as if she never even made it out of there, or her hallucinations covering very real actions she has taken...

during that bit where youre chased by an entity that sets you on fire while you search for three lit runes in a maze.. i think its in the swamp bit? anyway i got caught even though i thought i was far enough away (it was in a really shitty area where no matter which way i went, the thing seemed equidistant away) - anyway, soon as i reloaded the area, the entity was immediately coming at me again and it was so close that the visual distortions fucked me up to the point i couldnt see where i was going and almost immediately died again. seemed a bit unfair to me.
