Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Description
From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness.
2021 Update:
Return to Helheim and experience Senua’s world through new eyes with enriched visuals and new features. Upgraded materials, particles and LOD, DirectX Raytracing and optimised performance with NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR support. We have also used this opportunity to include some key accessibility improvements, including full controller remapping and colour blindness settings.
Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.
Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.

Essential
Ninja Theory crafts a highly competent action game and a nuanced, powerful exploration of mental health.

9/10
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a masterclass of atmosphere, storytelling, and the marriage of mechanical and conceptual design. While there are moments that feel shoehorned in to remind us we're playing a videogame, the care and attention Ninja Theory has clearly poured into Senua and her story has created something amazing. This is a game everyone should play, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have lived inside the mind of Senua, however briefly.

8/10
Given the heavy subject matter, calling Hellblade "entertaining" feels inappropriate. However, it is undeniably memorable, telling a compelling tale that explores subject matter many consider taboo

Game breaking Bugs
Really liked the game, the concept, design etc. But after several hours of playing it - it broke. Bugs with the camera work and enemy detection/lock. Really kinda mad that I will never finish it.

Unrelenting
The minute that I second guessed myself as a player when the video game voices in Senua's head told me turn back I knew I was in for a ride!

Amazing story but combat breaks the game
When it started I was amazed. The story was immersive as of few titles I have played over the last years. Creepily amazing I thought. Wow! (5 Stars) Now though, after having spent more than two hours failing at one and the same non-boss fight, it feels like i am out of the story completely. I am feeling cheated, I am upset and I am about to uninstall the game and toss it in a box and never play it again. Whoever did that fighting system should play it on a pc keyboard for the rest of his or her life as punishment. Story 5 points. Combat is breaking the game for me. 1 point.
