Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Dull, pointless game with endless wandering that goes nowhere. You can only do two things in this game: Solve the puzzle over and over again and fight ridiculously easy enemies. I set the combat difficulty to the highest point and still only died a few times. Its story is just a rambling, nonsensical diatribe about Norse mythology that is ultimately pointless because everything is in Senua's head. It appears to have an interesting style at first, but then you realize that everything is a pile of rocks with occasional blotches of color. This is a bad game.

The visuals and the audio of this game are magnificent. The game itself... best graphics ive ever seen, gameplay(combat and walking animation) was so realistic and satisfying, the lore was so so phenomenal. This game is a life message, amazingly translationed about the psychosis by Ninja Theory, so perfectl! The performance for the character/s was brilliant, *when you stare to her it makes you to believe that the character is real*. All i have to say about this game is that this game changed my entire life althought im not a person that is diagnosed with psychosis, it made me a better person, a improved me. I feel this game as piece of my heart now. The best game ever created, well played Ninja Theory!

There are few ways to describe Hellblade that would do it justice, you just have to experience it yourself. If you want an emotional and engaging story mixed with tight combat and some of the best audio design you can hope for then take a leap of faith and try this game out. Make sure you have good headphones or surround sound, dim the lights, and (in my opinion) try and play it though in as few sittings as possible to help get wrapped up in the character.

I absolutely recommend Hellblade. The game takes the player into Senua's soul and mind and her journey through her reality. Few games have been able to convene such a deep, emotional experience (maybe The last of us is close). Graphism and sound design is amazing. Many many innovations (no HUD, no tutorial, sneaky permadeath (but not pusnishing). It might not be the game of the decade because the gameplay is fairly repetitive in its mechanics, however it is certainly a game that ALL gamers interested in game design and new gaming experience should get. Ninja Theory has done an amazing work here, praise them.

Hellblade is really well made... The story, visuals, background, everything really immerses the player into the game. Some times, It can be frustrating, because the fights and the puzzles can be repetitive, but there are many good ideas in the puzzles (and it suits Senua's psychosis), and the fights stay pleasant in spite of their simplicity. The way the story is told is really clever, and some passages are stressful. I encountered motion sickness the first times I played, but setting the fov higher solved this trouble. Having recently finished the game, I think it has been a great video game experience...
