„Lots of interesting and memorable mechanics but also accompanied by plentiful menu busywork. Still a great time if you can get past some of the oddities. Master Collection version is barebones.”

„Short and sweet 3-hour story that goes to narrative places I didn't expect to - not a bad way to spend an evening. ”

„[Based on 1st hour] Very strong presentation & aesthetics - a wholesome and joyful time.”

„How to separate hand from heartbreak? Phenomenal and masterful storytelling experience that'll resonate especially with those who have diasporic backgrounds.”

„[Based on 1st hour] "Crab soulslike" that doesn't seem too fixated on difficulty. Very fun tone.”

„[Early Access] Packed with content in EA. Missing some sprites and artwork so far but the usual Supergiant quality is already here.”

„Bizarre, experimental title that doesn't overstay its welcome. Some interesting cinematography and food for thought on faith and religion.”

„A cinematic experience to the core. Narrative and presentation are still very enjoyable but gameplay has been streamlined even more compared to Hellblade 1.”

„Themes of the game are still relevant 2 decades later. Master Collection version is serviceable, but needs mods to enable HD resolutions and fix compressed audio. Controls are also not modernized.”

„[Based on demo] Life is Strange meets the Sims - a small town deals with tragedy and the grieving process. Lots of interactivity focusing on the relationships between the townsfolk.”
