Senua, left traumatized after a Viking invasion, is grappling with mental illness and you’ll experience her hallucinations and delusions while she tries to triumph over it.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Review

8.2 Total Score
Very Good

Blending powerful imagery, unrivaled visuals quality, an excellent combat system and a unique setting that mixes Norse mythology with mental illness, Ninja Theory fully delivers on their independent AAA pitch with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. The game has an excellent atmosphere and intensive storytelling. Over the course of its journey, Hellblade keeps its gameplay lean in order to not overstay its welcome. It's a game whose many elements speak with one voice to address a subject and tell a story that has the potential to deeply touch those who identify firsthand with its themes, and if this game doesn't leave you feeling more civilized and empathetic toward those themes by the end of it, it's hard to imagine the game that can. While the narrative is front and center, Hellblade also has a swordplay component that has Senua squaring off in brutal encounters. The enemies and environments you encounter are among the best designed and fleshed out in any game ever. Immersive, honest, and gorgeous. Totally recommend.
