    I really liked this game! This is an independent project, to some extent a breakthrough in the gaming industry. I would recommend making the puzzles a little more complicated and interesting, but it was played very well.

    What a beautiful game. Everything is in the atmosphere. It is a slow paced game, but that makes sense since it's a rather short game. This is the kind of game that you need to take your time with and find all the lore to fully experience the story and game play. I had a very good time.

    História e gráficos maravilhosos. Único "defeito" (entre aspas pois esse claramente não é o foco do jogo) é o combate repetitivo.

    Good game, but it has its flaws:

    1. Lots of Puzzles, not very difficult of you can get easily stuck in a few ones, I hate puzzles but this ones are ok, until it gets pretty frustrating and repetitive. 2. Combat is feels good, until it sucks, aka can't move the camera and you have 3 enemies behind you and you can't turn around nor move because you are also stuck in a wall. 3.

    3. It can get surprisingly slow and boring, especially towards the end.

    Slow, repetitive, sometimes boring, I felt I was going to fell sleep multiple times, which shouldn't happen during a gameplay.

    I won't list all the good things this game does, but I would recommend you give it a try, it is in game pass. If you like the first hour you are going to love, if not you are going to really hate it.    … Expand

    Hellblade was a fantastic experience overall but with a couple very big issues. One major issue with it was was the puzzles.

One major issue with it was was the puzzles. I despised the many puzzles where you had to find a specific rune shape hidden somewhere in the near area. This doesn’t sound bad but it is extremely frustrating when you have found this shape and are focusing on it but the game refuses to recognize this until you move an inch or two to the right or left to get lined up just how they want it. That and sometimes the shape would not be a static image but you would have to stand in such a way that a couple tree branches form the shape. I was in an angry state by the end as these make up the bulk of the game’s puzzles. The combat itself is fairly good for the most part with the exception of the fact that the game would auto focus on a specific enemy and would switch target when it deemed it best which leaves you open to attack from other sides easier. You can manually switch which enemy you are targeting but I would have preferred that I just have a free camera to attack who I want and am facing. The combat was similar to The Witcher 2 in that you will be dodging and evading a lot of attacks along with parrying and having light and heavy attacks to alternate between. I find this ironic because I hated the combat in The Witcher 2 but didn’t mind the combat in Hellblade. I think it was the lack of magic spells and traps which I didn’t enjoy in Witcher 2. The overall presentation of Hellblade was simply amazing. The music was well used and always fit the mood well. The voice acting was superb by all involved. The facial expressions captured for Senua were the best I have ever seen. The graphics were fantastic, everything from the clothing detail; facial features; world detail; lighting; shadows; all was just top notch and had a great direction to it. In particular there is a scene where you’re supposed to be wading through a bloody river full of corpses in what I can imagine would be representative of “Hell” that was by far the creepiest version of Hell I have ever seen. There was one scene where the lip syncing was mistimed with the voice acting but it only lasted a minute or so. I would have also liked to see an option for a map added or some kind of direction identifier as some parts were very difficult to navigate. I will also say that the representations of auditory and visual hallucinations seemed authentic and well done. I don’t suffer from them myself but I can see why the game has gotten praise for their handling of mental illness. I can say that those I have known that have suffered from depression can relate to your own brain constantly insulting you and taunting you.

    I played Hellblade on Linux. I used Lutris; Wine and DXVK. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs or glitches during play. I did notice one small issue where when the game initially launches it doesn’t quite stretch to full-screen but you can just click the screen and it then does. The game uses Unreal Engine 4. The game auto saves and has no manual save option. For the most part this isn’t an issue but there are a few times I would have loved having a manual option. You can change the difficulty setting at any time during play. There are 7 different graphics options as well as a Vsync option. The game recognizes and supports higher refresh rates even though there is no official option. Performance wise the game was usually pretty good but there were frequent drops that were noticeable. The game could go from 144 FPS to 85; back up to 144; down to 18; up to 85; etc. It was stable sometimes but when it wasn’t it would cause some lag that would last 1-3 seconds. When it was stable it was usually in the 80’s. I played using version 1.03 of the game from GOG.

    Disk Space Used: 22.9 GB
    GPU Usage: 67-99 %
    VRAM Usage: 2083-3822 MB
    CPU Usage: 12-37 %
    RAM Usage: 3.2-5.2 GB
    Frame Rate: 2-144 FPS

    While I didn’t enjoy the puzzles or the auto targeting in combat the rest of the game was so good that I still played through it and will recommend it. The story; atmosphere; voice acting; graphics; are all just worth playing and experiencing. I paid $11.29 CAD for Hellblade and feel that was a good price given my issues. Speaking about just the rest of the game though it was easily worth $50 had the puzzles been done differently. I finished the game in 8 hours 13 minutes on normal difficulty.

    My Score: 7/10

    Very special experience. The sound and music outstanding - recommended to use headphones. The game-play is little bit slow - good mix between puzzles and fights that are tough. The plot for my view is not so interesting so i found my self not even listening to Brut at some point of the game.

    A different kind of Ninja Theory game from what i've played before which were much more action gameplay focused, but not say thats anything for the worse, Hellblade's another solid outting for them surely.

    Right off the start you get the feeling it'll be a more a experience type of game than action packed ride, with emphasis on very well done cinematographic cutscenes and story telling.    A different kind of Ninja Theory game from what i've played before which were much more action gameplay focused, but not say thats anything for the worse, Hellblade's another solid outting for them surely.

    Right off the start you get the feeling it'll be a more a experience type of game than action packed ride, with emphasis on very well done cinematographic cutscenes and story telling. Also its a great achievement from audio and visual standpoint alone this game completed with a nice original soundtrack, knowing Ninja Theory is no triple A developer at this point, its quite an achievement. If there's anything that poked my eye, it was the passive sky box, i hate that developers dont go the extra mile to have active sky box with cloud movement for maximum immersion factor. Game boasts some amazing motion and facial capture strengthened by strong performance by main actress who turns out is a developer of the game herself, the motion capture tech was much showcased before the game's launch and it really becomes an integral part of the game's success, not just a gimmick. Story being built around mental disorder problems of Senua also woks out quite well, much of the time leaving you thinking about what you see in the game whether its real or they're the manifestations Senua's mind is making up. Game world while lacking high resolution textures in many places overall looks quite beautiful with great lighting, weather effects backed up by great art design that successfully captures the post viking invaded celtic setting.

    Where i had some issues with Hellblade were its gameplay designs. While i actually walked, not ran, through most of the entirety of the game to capture and get immersed in its world, i also couldnt help but feel that there wasnt anything really to do while these segments lasted compared to Enslaved or Devil May Cry, the developer's previous 2 games, its just, take in the pretty world and move on. The puzzles while backed up by the research developer's did on what people with psychosis experience to ensure their place in the game, felt more like padding from modern gameplay perspective, theyre nothing that ruin overall experience for the worse, but solving them didnt gave me any real sense of satisfication. Then theres the combat which is just about servicable, it simply lacks depth and fun factor from previous Ninja Theory's games like Enslaved or DmC, the lock on/swap taget system also doesnt work out as well as it should. As i said before, i know it was not intended to be a action game first, but knowing the developer's pedigree, i was expecting more finesse in that department.

    I still dont get it why Metacritic lists a 7 as mixed score for video games, for me that counts as a good game rating and i do wanna remind that in my books Hellblade is a good gaming experience worth having.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very very slow movement, it makes me mad. The puzzles are horrible, no need for logic, just see the sign and that's it, Uncharted series does it much better.
    Now I know that this game had a very small budget, and honestly, the result speaks for itself. The graphics and sounds are good.
    One thing is actually very very brilliant, but SPOILER ALERT for that.
    So the game tells you at the beginning that if you die too many times, you are going to lose your progress and you can start your game from the beginning. And it made me feel afraid and nervous every time I had a fight, I was thinking of what happens if I can't finish this game at all? If hours of gameplay just disappeared. Well, turned out, the permadeath is not real, they just say it to make you feel how Senua feels. I think it is genius. That's why I gave the game 1 point higher than I originally planned.    … Expand

    Graphically really well done game. Unreal4 engine exploited at the highest levels, other games should use it like this. The focus of this game, however, is the story before the gameplay that transmits anxiety and anguish and is told especially with the audio so the lack of localization in other languages ​​makes it lose all the sense.

    Los gráficos están muy bien hechos y logran junto a la música y el ambiente que han logrado crear, meterte en un mundo con tensión. La duración algo pequeña pero para este tipo de juegos lo veo bien dado que si el juego hubiera sido más largo podría llegar a cansar mucho.

    El sistema de combate es algo simple pero muy bueno.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As much as I'd love to give this game a positive review, I just can't. The game is ambitious and Ninja theory made something that has never been done before. But I just couldn't get into the game because confusion and getting lost in parts made it a undesirable experience. I could get over that and move on. The story telling and the visuals are amazing. The game hyped you up for a big ending, defeating Hela, which I understood was Senua's so called 'darkness'. I was so ready for it.. I fought through hordes and hordes, awaiting my turn to get my hands on Hela. I got confused yet again. I would not have understood for the live of me that you had to fail. The game hyped you up, the voices are liar's.. so why would you listen to them now? It gave me a bitter aftertaste and made me shut down the game before it even ended. It made me feel like a failure and betrayed. I would have loved to have more 'hints' to the idea of you having to fail to end it. It was just a never ending boss fight with voices that told you tell completely different things which are confusing at best.… Expand

    The atmosphere of this game is completely amazing. Senua has psychosis and she copes with inner voices. All the voices you hear during the game, feels you perfectly uncomfortable, they have adapted really well. Designing of the environment, the quality of the graphics and audios, puts you into the middle of the atmosphere and let you feel it deeply.

    The story is neither an epic story nor the worst. It is just fine, could be better though. It doesn’t make you bored but also doesn’t make you excited either.

    The biggest problem is game-play. Although the combat sequences are pretty satisfying, variety of the enemies are not enough at all. In the very beginning I thought that, puzzles have designed really wisely then I have realized that is completely repetitive. What I mean is, you do almost the same puzzles from the beginning till the end.

    As a summary, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice provides an amazing experience with good price. I believe that everyone should play and experience it.    … Expand

    The combat was pretty basic but satisfying, but it is really sad that you get to see so less of it. The story is very good and explains a lot about Norse mythology which is sometimes very chilling.

    Ninja Theory nos trae la historia de una guerrera picta que intenta rescatar el alma de su amante muerto como excusa para contar los síntomas de una persona enferma de psicosis.

    Siendo un concepto muy interesante para aprender sobre esta enfermedad y estando bien acompañado de unos gráficos que representan de forma sobresaliente su ambientación nórdica y unos efectos sonoros que consiguen nos metamos en la piel de su protagonista, como videojuego no termina de estar a la altura. Los puzles y los combates apenas exigen al jugador debido a su facilidad, y la partida no se puede guardar en ningún momento. Es decir, que si quieres repetir cualquier tramo porque te ha gustado especialmente, deberás rejugarlo desde el principio. Y no morir demasiadas veces en el intento, pues si lo haces tu partida se borrará, ya que la intención de los desarrolladores es que cada partida fuese un viaje a la cabeza del personaje principal sin la posibilidad de volver atrás. Solo un viaje hacia delante sin muchas posibilidades de repetir para corregir tus errores. Claro que, para ello, al menos deberían haber puesto varios registros de guardado de partida por si en el mismo dispositivo había diferentes personas jugándolo.

    No sé muy bien qué esperar de la segunda parte anunciada, ya que necesita un buen empujón para ser considerado un buen juego y no sé si la «prensa especializada» se lo ha hecho saber o simplemente le ha alabado la intención de que aprendamos sobre la psicosis sin criticar su ejecución como juego regulero.    … Expand

    Том II: "Приключения в Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice завершены".
    -Начинаем мы за кельтскую героиню Сенуа которая отправляется в Скандинавию в мир Мертвых...ради спасения своего возлюбленного Диллиона из рук Хель, носящая с собою его голову.
    -Спутниками путешествия возглавляют душераздирающие голоса до видений... проклятие охватившее ее под названием "Гниль" которая разрастается с каждой смертью, черная метка.
    -Брось вызов Богам.
    -Панические страхи до взгляни страху в лицо.
    -Путь закрыт Семью Печатями открывающими с помощью Рун, вашего бурного воображения.
    -Камни Воспоминаний поведают вам историю.
    -Взгляните Зрением найдя иллюзию для преображения в материю.
    Мысли в слух.
    -Наконец то завершилось путешествие.... Cенуа убивают мечем Грама...тьма, в которой она перерождается в Хель или Хель завладела душой Сенуа .... шестое чувство подсказывает мне что Сенуа является Хелью. В конце концов она сбрасывает голову Диллиона в бездну.
    -Сюжетная игра, которую я перепроходить не собираюсь, но ощущения от испытанного не безразличны.

    The story had a very successful and original narrative style. I easily found myself in that story and played it with pleasure. Both the background stories of the characters and the character designs are very successful.

    Game-play mechanics were sometimes enjoyable and sometimes very boring. Since I was always afraid of war at the beginning of the game, every time I entered a war, I was afraid. But since this fear disappeared towards the end of the game, I can say that the lack of new fighting mechanics and the many puzzles bored me and alienated me from the game. The fact that the puzzles are the same and a lot of each other is nothing but taking only 2 hours from your game time.

    I don't have much to say about space design. It was very boring to run around the map all the time while only solving puzzles. The maps could have been designed more useful.

    I like the graphics of the game. The color palette in the cut scenes was used very well and made me feel more about the morale of the story.

    After all, the fact that Senua's mouth was constantly open throughout the game and seeing her teeth all the time bothered me a lot. What about you?    … Expand

I believe that if you made this whole thing a movie rather than a game with all the cutscenes, it would make a treasure.

    However, gameplay-wise, it's a garbage.

    I know many people won't agree with this and even will try to roast me, but that's that. I feel insulted by being forced to solve puzzles (during which you don't have to use your brain btw) to proceed in the game, and run through the levels at a very slow speed which can eventually make you get a cancer. I liked the combat system, I mean, it's simple and since it's not the point of this game, it's fine. But I was super tired of stupid filler fights with the same enemies over and over again, which really added nothing to the story itself.

    Anyway I could complain more but the eventual idea here is that this would make a great 2-hours of game if I didn't have to spend hours on solving 'puzzles' and running all over the map again and again. Everything else, the story, the narrative, the graphics and especially the sound was totally amazing. Kudos.    … Expand

Unfortunately that moment never came with Hellblade and instead I question the priories of Ninja Theory when developing this game. It seems narrative and world building take a larger role in this game compared to others but unfortunately the world building was done in the most boring way possible. That being said the internal conflict of Senua is an interesting one and is handled fantastically throughout the game.

    Some of the puzzles reminded me of 90's PC puzzle games which would be nice if the puzzles reflected that mentality. Unfortunately most of them are about perspective and looking at a certain area of the environment and while a neat element at times the overuse of them made the gameplay become stale, fast.

    Combat was again, fun at first but doesn't develop into anything mechanically deep like Ninja Theory's previous works and instead resorts to spawning multiple enemies to give a cheap sense of difficulty. If there were more diverse enemy types along with multiple combo's and finishers maybe the combat would be more engaging.

    To conclude, I appreciate what Hellblade stands for in the games industry; it's very rare to see an independent game studio be so ambitious with it's presentation but it lacks in compelling puzzles, combat and at points story.

    - Motion blur
    - Depth of field
    - Ambient occlusion, (how this terrible effect even become so popular?!)...

    All that warnings before the game start and all the trailers and talk about this mediocre "game" was enough to trick me for a moment. But after 30 min of game play all felt apart. Just another walking pretentious crap.

    The only reason I give this "game" 4 is because of 2 very well atmospheric places with great lighting and some cute weather effects. That is it! That's why you got 4 from me. Be proud of yourself.

    And after all this my biggest wonder is how it is possible this game to have 200. (equally worthless and pretentious), awards.

Because most of the game consists of solving these elementary puzzles, the game ends up feeling, well.. like tedium.

    The combat is surprisingly gratifying. Executing timed parries, dodges, and combos charges a special ability that allows you to slow down time, which is vital when outnumbered. The animations and combos look good, and the combat has a nice up and personal feel to it. Enemy variety is poor, yet there is a descent eco-system of foes with strength and weaknesses to exploit and play with. The combat is by far Hellblade's strongest aspect, yet it will all come down to button mashing and mindlessly abusing the dodge button in order to overcome the ridiculous number of enemies the game will throw at you towards the end.

    The movement of the character outside of combat is sluggish, and the camera is too rigidly attached to the character on screen. In fact the whole game feels slow and sluggish. The walking sessions, establishing shots, and cut-scenes drag and yet tell very little story. If I wanted to be mean, I'd say the game is just full of itself.

    Half-way through the game I started having major frame rate issues, and no amount of low-settings could even remedy the problem. The environments don't look that great, though the game definitely has its moments. Towards the end, there was a strange after taste of instanced assets and botched job.

    Hellblade is an average to mediocre game, that is not without good ideas and potential, yet succumbs to its misguided priorities. I'd be willing to give it a pass if it was only capable of telling a compelling story - and no, the bitter-sweet ending and tear-jerking score in the end will not make me forget all the mediocrity I had to endure in order to get to that point.    … Expand

It looks beautiful is the best thing I can say about it but everything else the gameplay and attempt at using mental illness as a selling point is kind of ridiculous "we spent alot of time with mental health professionals" good for you it doesn't mean you understand mental illness you didn't study it you just asked for the basics and then ran off to make a game.

    As a game it fails, because it wants to be way to cinematic movie-esque type of experience. The puzzles and the exploration/climbing is all dull padded out filler. The combat sections while impressively animated was over pretty quick.

    I'm all for immersion but this game doesn't just try to depict mental illness, it's actively trying to drive you crazy. The constant annoying voices, the cringey writing, the tedious puzzles....I couldn't get through the first hour. This is gaming for hipsters, emos and pseudointellectuals. Thanks but no thanks.

    This is a whole game in a nutshell: Walking, walking, hearing voices, walking, more voices, more walking, some boring fight scenes. Gameplay is simplistic with button mashing, thats it. Stay away of from this crap! The only positive thing is that it looks very nice and it's chip. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    The combat is ugliest as i ever seen in any games. Maybe it's possible to play it on console but on PC its just unplayable. It is very frustrating than you even switch to the easy combat mode but can't win the fight again and again because the control is piece of crap. The idea of the game is good but implementation is crap. I'll give it three points for the effort.

One of those games where you'll be yelling "What did I do wrong!?" at the screen because your A button just stops functioning with no indication as to why.

    Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a strikingly high-fidelity game; the graphics, particularly of the main character and some of the enemies, are quite impressive. Unfortunately, the beauty is only skin deep; this game is a slow-paced slog with poor gameplay.

    You play as Senua, a mentally ill young warrior woman who is travelling to Helheim – the Norse hell – to battle Hel for the soul of    Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a strikingly high-fidelity game; the graphics, particularly of the main character and some of the enemies, are quite impressive. Unfortunately, the beauty is only skin deep; this game is a slow-paced slog with poor gameplay.

    You play as Senua, a mentally ill young warrior woman who is travelling to Helheim – the Norse hell – to battle Hel for the soul of her dead lover. She has voices in her head, constantly talking to her – encouraging her, telling her what to do, whispering about how she is going to fail or how she should turn back, or even telling her that everything is all her fault.

    This game seems to be very impressed with itself in its depiction of mental illness, and indeed, it is pretty well-executed on the whole – the whispering voices both work to reinforce the protagonist’s psychosis, as well as to help direct the player towards what they should be doing.

    And the game is very graphically beautiful – there are a lot of nicely rendered enemies, and Senua herself has a very impressive character model. That being said, I feel like Senua might be entering in on the uncanny valley – she looks kind of wrong on some level, despite her highly realistic appearance, and there is just something a little bit off about her visually which is constantly unsettling.

    Unfortunately, this is about where the game’s pros end.

    The gameplay consists more or less of four things – walking through long corridors, solving environmental puzzles by lining up environmental features to make “runes” that unlock doors or piece together objects in the environment, walking through gates to reveal some change in the environment, and fighting a series of battles against pretty samey enemies with not-so-great controls.

    The environmental puzzles are vaguely clever – walking around to line stuff up in the environment is a vaguely interesting idea that I’ve seen a few times. Unfortunately, it is only vaguely interesting, and the game has a very large number of these puzzles. Most of them are not particularly interesting, either – oftentimes, you’ll simply do a series of simple tasks, following through to the end of the path to get the assembled piece. Only on rare occasion does this require much in the way of actual problem solving, and after a while it becomes very old hat.

    This is not assisted by the protagonist’s slow walking speed – the character, even when running, simply does not move very fast, and this is constantly wearing, as navigating the environment is something of a bore and it only further stretches out the already slow-paced game.

    The combat is quite bad as well. The protagonist and their enemies move pretty slowly on the whole, with only a few moving at any real speed – while Senua herself is pretty slow. She has a weak slash, a powerful slash, a kick that can stun enemies (useful against the enemy with a shield), and has a “slow down time” ability that also serves to make some enemies tangible and thus possible to attack.

    Unfortunately, the combat is very, very bland. Most of the combat time is spent fighting pretty samey enemies – there’s only five types of base enemy, and you end up fighting them quite a bit. Unfortunately, there’s not much to mix things up there – two of them are pretty similar to each other, and none of them are particularly interesting to fight, as most of them are just defeated either by dodging an attack then counterattacking, or simply kicking them to stun them and then attacking. Due to the general clunkiness of the system, the various fights against the normal enemies feel extremely similar to each other. The slogginess of the combat is particularly evident towards the end, as there are two long combat sequences towards the end of the game which involve killing large numbers of these enemies back-to-back, and it is quite dull.

    The combat simultaneously also feels difficult and easy. Difficult because the enemies will often attack you at the same time, and the rather clunky controls makes it hard to position yourself in the way that you’d really want. But it also was easy, both because of the power of the slow time ability and simply because it seems extremely difficult to actually die. In theory, a few hits will kill Senua, but in practice, I could always stand back up after getting knocked down – in fact, I only died once in combat outside of the two battles in which you *must* die in order to progress, and I’m not really sure why I even died there.

    There are three real boss fights in the game, but of them, one felt rather similar on the whole to fights against the normal enemies, leaving only two which were really distinct in any meaningful fashion. They were okay, but neither felt great, and the general slow movement of Senua made them feel kind of slow and tedious.

    In short, this was a neat idea whose execution bored me.    … Expand

    There is no HUD and no tutorial. The game does not explain how to play itself, it literally turns you loose in Hell and says - here you are, have fun getting killed over and over and over and over again until you either figure out the basic gameplay mechanics which we could have explained to you but don't, because fun, or you rage pause and look up a walkthrough online.
    The combat is repetitive and frustrating. It makes no attempt to be anything other than a mindless button masher with an added step or two whenever you face a brute or a boss. There is no stealth, only one weapon, and a slow-motion bullet time effect that I didn't even know existed until I was 2/3 of the way through the game, because as I mentioned before, there is no tutorial or guide.
    The puzzles aren't so much puzzles. None of them require you to think in order to solve them, they simply require that you have patience, which was already wearing thin for me with this game very early on. You don't feel smart, like you just solved something. 90% of it is just you walking around until you've found the correct spot to stand in and press a button. Sometimes, they make the puzzles more layered by giving you two or three spots to stand in and press a button before you advance. Again, patience, not intelligence opens the door to the next area.
    Because there is no map, no guide points, no items in the world to indicate which direction to go, I frequently got lost and spent a lot of time just wandering around not knowing what I was looking for. I don't expect a game to hold my hand, but it's got to at LEAST give me an objective and a direction to walk in.
    The story started out 10/10. I was instantly engaged by the opening cutscene and playing as a Celtic warrioress on a path to save the soul of her beloved on a journey through Hell. This is really f***ing cool, I'm totally on board. Slowly though, I started to realize that there would be no engaging narrative, no satisfying conclusion, no real character development. It makes a heavy handed point of being an avant garde piece of abstract fiction in which the "message" they're trying to convey (mental illness is difficult - oh really?) comes at the expense of a cogent narrative in which a character has a want, but they are having trouble getting it, and we are tuned in to see whether they get it or not, watching them grow and change along the way. You know, the literal core of a good story.
    In short, not for a single moment after the first chapter was I looking forward to what was going to happen next, or having fun doing what I was doing at that time. I only finished the game because I paid for it and I'm cheap.
    Because I couldn't skip the end credits, I ctrl-alt-deleted to close the program and immediately uninstalled it because I'm never, ever going to even feel tempted to play it again. It was hands down one of the worst video games ever. I totally get why it has a high critic score, because critics are hacks, but the high user score blows my mind. I thought the general public was smarter than this.
    Pros: It looks AMAZING. But then again, show me a game made in the last decade that doesn't look amazing. Of course it looks amazing. Who cares?

The fighting isn't fair, and there is perma-death so you might have to start the game all over again if you die too many times. This one isn't worth it on sale. It's not even worth pirating for free. It's garbage on your drive. I got half way through and my frame rate dropped below 30 fps and that was the last straw. I uninstalled it. The game has bugs as well. A game of similar "stature" might well be "A Plague Tale: Innocence". I'd rate that one an 8/10. This one gets a zero. It just drags on and on and there's no way of skipping the morbid cut scenes. I guess it's filled with Norse mythology but it comes across as confusion. This one is a slog with zero fun. Find ANYTHING else to play. I did myself a favor and watched the ending on youtube and what I saw made me glad I didn't invest any more time into it. I switched to playing Ghost Recon Wildlands and am having a blast.… Expand

    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice takes us on a long road to hell paved with contemplative yet stressful scenes, and an impressive respect for Norse myths and legends.

    Hellblade can disappoint you with repetitive puzzles, linear structure and the fact that it was stripped down to most basic, indispensable mechanics. But Hellblade is not about gameplay. It’s about darkness and fear and despair. The emotional weight of this game is unbearable. Forget about The Last of Us, To the Moon or Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Hellblade is soul-crushing in a way I never thought a game could be. Remember Requiem for a Dream? That’s what Hellblade does to you. I will NEVER forget Ninja Theory’s masterpiece. [10/2017, p.38]

    If Heavenly Sword had an opposite, it would without a doubt be Hellblade. A dark, gritty, psychotic, atmospheric hell-ride through the forest of insanity. It looks great but plays like a gloomy record. Not everyone will enjoy this dark adventure. But what it does, it does great. Maybe even too great, if I may say so.
