Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice reviews

This is a unique game, and Ninja Theory cared for every detail they made. It is original, creative, beautiful. Still, it is not for everyone, it is weird. It blends a walking sim and a fighting game. It is simple, I mean, it is not complex, there are few things you do. There's no crafting, no collecting items, no leveling. You just walk, hear the voices whispering the story, solve puzzles, and, when the time comes, draw your sword. The story is very deep and it caught me from the very beginning. It might be even disturbing because it roots in psychological illnesses and fears. I highly recommend playing in headphones, because it uses binaural sounds very effectively to place you in the surroundings. If you like this kind of game, Hellblade is a gem. You will enjoy every minute in its terrifyingly beautiful world.
Possibly the most accurate depiction of mental illnesses you'll find in gaming.
