Too hard to play

[Blind]

What is wrong with me? I can`t pass even usual monsters. They kill me quickly and bloody.

Playng in easy mode, of course.

You have to look very hard for their cues and either dodge, parry or try to stun them then switch between light and heavy attacks. The combat is a little tricky, and this is definately not a game you're gonna just face tank your way through, but once you get the hang of it it becomes a lot easier.

In the options, look up the buttons for fighting. Basically, evading and then attacking will win you any battle. Blocking is also sometimes a good idea. For the difficult battles against bosses or multiple enemies at once, if "focus" becomes available, press it - it slows down time for a while.

I'm playing on "hard" and have no problems since I noticed the "evade" button.

Quick note here as well hard isn't the hardest setting, the auto setting is. Also there's a kick you can do that will break an enemy's defense, think it's like the f key if you play with keyboard, but I played with a controller so don't hold me to that.

Retreat until only one enemy attacks you at once. Wait for him to attack, then press the counter button. Launch some attacks. Rinse, repeat. Later you get a combat-focus skill that recharges if you time counters/dodges correctly. You this skill when ever the situation gets messy.

Also, if you're getting attacked by more than one enemy and some of them are off the screen, listen out for one of the voices in Senua's head that says "Behind you!". When you hear it, block.

You can block attacks from behind?

[Gibbonici]

You can.

[NuclearSnail]

Death by lag perhaps?

This article [1] explains every combat move in the game, and how to use them. This will cover both offensive and defensive moves.

This game would be so good if easy mode was, you know easy.
The balance part of the game has no feedback on how you are doing until....oh I'm going to fall now.
Easy combat should be face tankable. This game should be all about the experience if I wanted it to be, making easy mode have any skill is silly.

Hi when your voice says "Focus" press key bind to focus. and just see the magic :)
You are not using your power mode thats what I think

[Xelian]

Oh come on. Combat was patheticly easy. Especially on easy. Just block on time and dodge when the voices shout. And you need to kick the enemies with the shield. If you get knocked out press dodge so you don't get killed than use focus to combat the fatigue (you are slow otheriwse). I fought for about 10 minutes at the game end before realizing what I should do :)

I found the crow hard but won. Where I got stuck and couldn't go on was the demon in the maze. That is as far as I've got. Must have tried it 100 times. I know where the doors are but he always catches me, he's so fast. Playing on easy.

You just need to run to the opposite side of the maze get the door there and when he comes close run around to the other side, repeat as many times as you need to get all symbols - prioritize keeping the deamon away over looking for/at runes.

I know where the 3 doors are. That's not my problem.
My problem is movement around the maze and the speed at which the demon travels.
All of a sudden Senua starts to wobble and stumble all over the place. When you duck under anything she is facing in the opposite direction, while all the time the Demon runs around on steroids bashing through walls.
Up to this point the game was the perfect challenge on easy. But this pac-man game brought my game to a complete halt. I have never gotten any further and probably never will unless someone comes up with some sort of cheat to get me past this daft stage.

This is weird the deamon was never this fast for me, I could always easily outrun him and did not have this "turn around" problem - PS the runes are cut out in the planks and you usualy need to turn around to see them
