May 26, 2019This was one of the best games I’ve ever played. The combat and sound design is absolutely amazing! I wasn’t expecting to be so amazed by an 8 hour game

Oct 5, 2021Game description is inaccurate. This is a walking/jogging simulator with hypnotic puzzles and occasional atrocious combat that just requires you to mash square for a while. Sound quality was amazing but does not make up for the game being terrible every where else.

Feb 8, 2021slow slow slow puzzle puzzle puzzle slow slow slow puzzle puzzle puzzle the rare fighting sequence are far and few in between the literal walking through hoops listening to a crazy lady with voices in her head. Sorry nerds this game is garbage

Jun 5, 2021Such a disappointment. Don't understand the hype this game is just so boring. Dreadful story dreadful puzzles and dreadful gameplay. The combat was fairly decent but you won't be doing that a lot. What a waste of time and money.

Aug 12, 2017Promising looking game that's just boring .
To put it simply with no spoilers it's a walking simulator with a bit of combat and some dull puzzles.
Very disappointing shame really I was looking forward to hellblade being good . -
Aug 10, 2017Such a great game... Visually stunning and a fantastically written narrative and amazing performance by the actress. Music that enhances and enriches the experience, a story that questions what is real and what isn't. Prices at 30 dollars but has a better triple A experience than most of today's latest games.

Aug 10, 2017Amazing experience, really enjoyed the game, but found the battle system a little awkward and only got the hang of it in the final fight. The puzzles were wonderful and creative, and the over lap of Senua's story with the Nordic myths was lovely. There were a few little game play things (again mostly related to combat but not all) that bugged me, but nothing deal breaking.

Aug 9, 2017Gameplay is boring, and have horrible cinematography/atmosphere (there are so many better example around... just look at cinema production). Still i appreciate the effort on creating something new even if it actually didn''t give me any kind of experience about mental illness. Vote: 6,5

Aug 11, 2017Probably the most immersive game i ever played. I would give it a honest 8.5/10 but I'm giving it a 10 to balance out the zeroes people are giving. This game is a slap in the face of the giant greedy publishers, for the sake of the game industry i hope this game is a success.

Aug 10, 2017This is exactly what I wanted for a long time. Hud/interface-less game with consequence for dying too much. At last a developer that made that come to life.

Aug 14, 2017I created this account just so I could give this game a 10. I love mixing in true story based games throughout the year and this one sets itself apart with a spectacular story. PLAY WITH A SURROUND SOUND HEADSET!

Dec 14, 2019After 2 hours of pure boredom, and even more, long winding tedious gameplay where I actually wanted to wake up from the nightmare of having actually spent money on this game. Each has their own opinion and I really have nothing good to say about this game. Thumbs down for me.

Sep 7, 2017Good story, good atmosphere, good soud. Sorry, bad gameplay, boring enemies, and 3 bosses. 3! God damn, 3 bosses! WTF?! Riddles for schoolgirls, 70% of game - walk, walk, walk. Yes, this game is not AAA, but it is not justification. And, of course, you dont want to replay this game. Because it is disposable.

Dec 20, 2018Both proof that small development teams can make great games, and that video games can handle heavy themes in their own way.

Dec 20, 2018Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a prime example for anyone making the case that video games are a powerful art form. Creatively ambitious, it’s exceptionally well-thought-out and implemented – making it striking at both a sensorial and psychological level as it delves deep into an exploration of life with psychosis. It has its gameplay flaws but remains must-experience for adult audiences. An instant classic for this generation.

Jun 3, 2018Hellblade: 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.
