Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Nach "A Plague Tale: Innocence" wieder ein Game, was mich sehr beruehrt hat. Auch hier bei Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice hatte ich am Ende des Spiels einen dicken Kloss im Hals. Waere ich angesprochen worden, haette ich wohl losgeheult. :) Was ein fantastisches Game! Tolle Grafik, klasse Story und ein grandioser Soundtrack. Mehr kann ich in meiner derzeitigen Verfassung nicht sagen. Das Spiel hat mich fertig gemacht und ich danke fuer dieses Erlebnis! Vielen Dank - 5/5 Sterne von mir :)

Ein Spiel welches man in ein oder zwei Abenden durch hat (ungefähr 10 Stunden) und was für alle die eine gute Story mögen ganz weit oben auf der „next to play“ Liste sein sollte.

Thank you for making this game. Wonderful story-telling all while having an incredible and sometimes terrifying experience of what it's like to fall deeper and deeper into psychosis. I watched the behind the scenes feature after completing the game and really appreciated how much work the team put into ensuring the realism. I really connected with Senua's pain as she fought back her demons. Incredible performance by Melina Juergens as Senua. Especially considering that she's also their video editor, acting as a stand-in for Senua, but came to find out she was actually auditioning and was able to use her real-life experiences to empower her role. Bravo. The audio and visuals of this game are so well done and spot on, and the Vikings setting really fits with this world. I couldn't help but think as I played this game that I was experiencing art. Any short-comings, if you really want to focus in and try to find any, really isn't worth complaining about because maybe the focus wasn't strictly on a having non-stop action and combat or having a "skip cutscene" button (why would you?). Or in making the combat feel less tedious by not having waves of enemies come at you sometimes out of nowhere. It's -supposed- to feel overwhelming. Everything was designed in meticulous detail to represent Senua's darkness. There aren't very many fights, but I personally enjoyed the combat. Although relatively simple fights mechanically, I could still feel the struggle as she swung her sword and the relief as the demons dispersed back into the shadows on their defeat. The focus is clearly about the story-telling, the scenery, and solving puzzles to advance to your goal. Puzzles that made you feel like you were detangling the chaotic fibers of your mind as you solved them. Overall a very satisying and humbling experience. I just wanted to thank the developers for taking the risk of exploring this mysterious and very serious condition that many people struggle with.

Crazy sound design and graphics, beautiful story... From start to end, I felt connected to Sennua and loved to suffer on her side ;o The little frustrations (like the world of the illusions...) do not weight much in comparison. And the game's "final boss" will remain in my hallmark of the greatest video-game moments. What a blast.

This game is one of the best games I've played, the graphics are excellent, the sounds are amazing, story is very good, puzzles are fun (except for those in chapter 10), fighting system is awesome, but took me a while to get used to it, finished the game in 2 sessions though, kindda wish it was longer, can't wait for a sequal.
