Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Was considering this to be an unhappily rendered using Unreal 4 run-of-the-mill but then it turned into Agony for girls. Then I realised the voices she was hearing were actually Faeries 'Alnor' and not as heavily prescribed to us by the title sequence 'mental psychosis', although given Folk Music tendencies this is swappable an idiomatrix. Then the combat turned out to be 'crunchy' a dynamic, which is my favourite type of combat dynamic. Then finally I decided this game was good enough to review. As my title suggests I bought this then luckily for £6. Then at that point I realised that this is what this (holiday camp) digital distribution platform is about. The fact it is called Gog where Green Man is called that brings it lower than Green Man in genuine time scale and is maybe waiting for more biblical bargains to give.

combat mechanics is more enjoyable then witcher 3 story is well develloped, ambiance, everything is nice... still find it short and don't see much replayability. Puzzle are easy to solve once you understand the pattern... searched for the one in the burning watch tower a long time but hey it's there. fight and puzzle are quite enjoyable enough to not be reduced to be classified as an interactive movie. I wish Witcher combat system would be like this one...

Wow. First off, you should have this game in your library. Although it won't land in any of my top lists, Hellblade is an ambitious and unique title worth checking out. Story is amazing, visuals are great, top notch sound design what's not to like? I did find it a tad slow and the combat wasn't quite engaging enough for my taste, but you cann really feel the care that went into making the game. Highly recommended!

One of the most memorable, unique and important games that has come out in the past few years. There are definitely flaws with the way it structures puzzles and combat so my high rating is not based on that. Instead the story and presentation and the way it ties in history, mythology and psychosis to create an experience that really stays with you long after you've played it. If you do play this, you MUST play with headphones. I'll be quite interested to see how the sequel turns out.

It's an interactive movie about a warrior facing reality and getting hurt by it, little by little, as she struggles with projections of the things she doesn't want to face - and it's beautiful.
