After having it in my backlog for nearly 5 years I finally started and completed Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and really enjoyed it. Was an interesting experience, though not a long one. But it worked.
However, I jumped right into the sequel Senua's Saga: Hellblade II (don't get me started on that title

) and it's just not clicking in the same was as the first did. The game is visually one of the best I've seen and the acting is top notch but it's somehow
boring and emotionless. Loads of walking and some very slow paced sections meant to perhaps build the mood are just hard to get through. The puzzles you do encounter are pretty clever, though.
