Ouch! *cough* Ow!!!

Joint pain!
Lung infection!
Fractured skull!

Whose bright idea was it to try and fall down explore this mine?
I thought my boosty jet pack thing would help me but... I have no idea how to use the boosty jet pack thing.

I've tried every button on the controller and nothing seems to fire the boosters. Maybe they're not used for that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe it's another thing the game doesn't tell me that I then have to google.
I'll get around to it when my fractured skull heals.

Edit: It's apparently a perk in the skill tree that I have to unlock first.

To boost you press jump, then press it again (and again if you want for as much as the meter has charge in it).

Hello?

Astridr?

Thorgestr??

Fargrimr???

Hello?




EDIT: And in non-Hellblade news I was playing ESO today at the exact moment that one of the big events started. Some strange lamps and props suddenly appeared in the town behind me, I thought I was imagining things.
I subsequently found out it's the Zenithar event and there's now a portal to Craglorn which I couldn't travel to before.
So I can now get to the Indrik vendor!
Glad I saved those event tickets from the last festival.

Over thereR.

Please note that I'm definitely emphasizing every single "R" when I'm typing those names.

...and after spending a skill point I've been boosting!
Which allowed me to get out of that mine and I did so whilst being over-encumbered with loot.

But I've still got a fractured skull.
And I don't know how to heal it. None of the meds I'm carrying affect it and even having a sleep didn't help.
I guess I'll have to put up with the pain until I see a doctor. Or I could google it like everything else it doesn't tell me about.

.....

Don't have any of that stuff so... Doctor it is, then.

I have some of that stuff 

Well I STILL have a fractured skull because GeForceNow is having a bit of a tantrum and not letting me play any of these things.

Pesky clouds!

...switched to one of the European servers instead and that let me in.
And I have now finished Senua's Saga.
Took me eleven hours, so a bit shorter than the fifteen it took me for the first game, and I only got half of the faces/runes, but it was a very enjoyable eleven hours. And, just like the first game, my least favourite part was the contemporary pop song over the credits.

I liked it (despite Microsoft's attempt to sabotage my enjoyment during the first half), but I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. There are individual set pieces and details that are pretty cool, but I never felt properly invested in anything that was going on in the same way I did with the original. Where I loved the combat in the first game, this one felt annoying and frustrating at times. 

EDIT - Meanwhile in Starfield, why is the heal button 0, yet the repair ship button while piloting is O when they are contextually the same function?
