>"this was the game i was waiting for years, exactly

Is there even gameplay? all i have seen is walking, story and some bad third person slow as fuck fighting.

Its mostly gameplay, not many cutscenes, considering the genre.
The "puzzles" are only slow if you are a moron, they are just time filler and some atmosphere between fights.
The fighting itself is simplistic, but the close camera, and the overall mood of the game carried it, it feels nice.

Y'know, I got to the frustrating part he got to and lost all of my lives/retries save for one last attempt. It ended up enhancing the game cause I realized I must've been playing wrong. Now suddenly every move I made up until the end game was calculated. Every battle required me to do my best.
While I would have been frustrated as hell if I had to restart after this point (practically the endgame) it ended up enhancing what felt like a walk-in-the-park experience.

I wanted to justify Sterling especially since his review came out minutes after I had purchased the game, it had me worried I'd have to wait for a patch but no. Just no. He's an overreactive whiny bitch who was rushing through to get his review out and while the "bug" (if we wanna call it that) would be upsetting-- giving it a fucking ONE/TEN? Just reeks of pissbabby cater-to-me-because-my-voice-counts attitude that makes me decide to just drop that reviewer from ever being taken seriously.

Oh, yeah. I forgot how retarded nu/v/ is.

the game does a really fucking good job of making you relate to Senua. The atmosphere and the rot mechanic keeps you constantly on edge and afraid of anything, and over time you go from scared and weak to a fucking determined badass.

When I got to the end boss battle I was so attached to the task I had planned that I stopped paying attention to all the clues around me, just like Senua was.

Also that last fight music was just perfect.

There is a level where you are given a torch, and the dark hurts you, and environment ruins your torch, so you have to relight it.
He didn't relight his torch, tried to run at the darkness, and survived enough for an auto-save to catch him in the middle of the dark, where every reload he died.
