You play as Senua, a Celtic warrior on a vision quest into Viking Hell, where she confronts a world shaped by myth and her experience of psychosis. Her journey is driven by the effort to save the soul of her dead lover.
Explore the environment, search for rune shapes to solve puzzles, and fight enemies in melee combat. These activities unfold as Senua makes her way through the journey.
The VR Edition presents the game from a third-person perspective and does not support motion controls; play uses a keyboard or a conventional controller. Voices can seem to come from around the player, adding a spatial audio dimension to the experience.
Players who enjoy the VR edition often point to its intense atmosphere, story, and spatial sound, especially the effect of voices seeming to come from beside or behind them. Some also praise its visuals and combat. Reactions to the VR presentation are mixed, with several reviewers finding the third-person view and conventional controls less immersive.
