Interesting but...

Is this game like going through chapters and fight your way through to the next zones or is it like Skyrim's open world where you can go anyway and do anything?

Ah then i dont want it, look interesting tho. Too bad you cant go out and do whatever you like.

Attention: Eisberg is LYING. You CAN do whatever you want in this game. Wanna climb that mountain? Go right ahead. Wanna go to space? You got it baby! First person shooting, fishing, pondering the meaning of life, starting a farm, ending a farm, being a whale, anything you can imagine and anything you can't, it's all in there. This software holds literal infinity!

Zone linearity, with zone backtracking. (Very fast back-track)

Didnt like it, Skyrim happen to be my favorite along with other ESeries, except online. There are a few games like Skyrim or Oblivion, but only a few.

Maybe you should open up your mind to linear story telling games tho, not every game has to be open world for it to tell a great story.

Skyrim is a sandbox RPG, Hellblade is a story-driven (and rather atmospheric!) adventure with action elements. Two different beasts. :)

I watched the whole game on youtube and it is more walking around looking for runes rather then fighting, the fighting is very simplistic and you just mash light, heavy, dodge and block and occasionally using focus to make some enemies tangible and slow down time.

the fighting gets boring, the puzzles never changed (either find the runes or fix the bridge) while the story is well done and the character Senua is sympathtic. The gameplay and how progression is made in my opinion made it a slog and broke my immersion everytime i was about to get into it.

But for $30 it can be worth it if you don't mind repeative rune scavnger hunts and mundane combat with little enemy varity. In otherwise play for the story and world, not for gameplay.

@OP: Very linnear no freedom at all. It's more of a walking sim with puzzles and ocasional fights, superb and immersive story, graphics, acting, etc.... It's limited to that, but at that it's pretty good.

There is almost no games that have a great story and open world at same time. Witcher 3 and few others.
Most of the great games are hum worlds where you get limited freedom in new area. Rest are purely linear games with controlled exp.
