I have no idea what this game is but the person on the left looks like someone who's been in battle and is still in some sort of a battle and the person on the right looks like an influencer cosplaying the person on the left
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
She is fighting some battles.
I keep suggesting this game to people. The story is pretty short, mechanics straight forward and game play very linear. But it is a ride. Do not read about it; no reviews, no strategies. Put on some good surround sound headphones, turn out the lights, and let the game carry you away.
One of the few games I've finished then immediately restarted.
And yet this was the first game I rage-uninstalled in 20 years or so. I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get past the first boss fight, which was Valravn for me. I'm probably missing something, but I absolutely hate its combat system.
You may still dislike it now, but I'd recommend giving it another chance. I replayed it last year and now it feels like a stripped down version of God Of War 4(and maybe Ragnarok too but I haven't played). Valravn was rough for sure though, cant blame you getting frustrated. I remember stopping there the very first time I played, it took a break of a few months before I came back and finished the whole thing.
