    A very good game with a very good story! No UI and crazy voices made the whole experience very immersive. Combats were fun in my opinion. I would have gave it a better score if it didn't took me so many time understanding the puzzle part, with the bone arches... but maybe it's me who is too dumb! ;-)

    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a gripping game that courageously tackles mental illness, trauma, and Norse mythology, unfolding an intense and thought-provoking story. Players delve into Senua's emotional journey, where the intricate narrative dives into her struggles. Yet, the game isn't flawless. The combat system, while engaging at first, can become repetitive and tiring as you play.Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a gripping game that courageously tackles mental illness, trauma, and Norse mythology, unfolding an intense and thought-provoking story.

    The game bored me a lot at the beginning. I didn't like it in terms of puzzles and storytelling. But after about 2 hours it started to open. Fighting mechanics are quite sufficient. The story he told was very deep and meaningful. When I got to the end, I found myself satisfied and impressed.

    Öncelikle tüm korkularımı tekrar tekrar yaşattığı için ayrı bir deneyim yaşattı. Sesler ve grafikler bence aşırı iyi. 3 can mevzusunu çok net hissettiriyor. Elbette ki eksi yönleri vardır ama yaşattığı duygulardan fark edemedim.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Même si certains aspects de la résolution d’énigmes m’ont semblé parfois laborieux, j’ai adoré bien des choses dans ce jeu que j’ai fini hier soir :

    - je ne sais pas si c’est valable pour toutes les versions, mais dans la mienne je me suis débrouillé du début à la fin.

    Personne ne t’explique ni les contrôles ni les mécaniques de jeu. J’ai beaucoup aimé ce point de difficulté / stress complémentaire. Comme dans la vraie vie, tu apprends par toi-même et tu fais des erreurs stupides.

    - le fait que tu puisses être en Game Over quand la corruption atteint la tête de Senua. Ho lala comment j’ai stressé à cause de ça. Merveilleux. Tu sais pas combien de morts sont permises. Et tu as l’impression que ça monte très vite au début. (J’ai fini le jeu en une seule fois, la fierté de gamer est sauve)

    - les combats : je les ai trouvés très aboutis et intelligents. Tu comprends vite que le placement de ton perso est capital. Ainsi quand tu te retrouves dans des espaces clos en combat tu stresses d’autant plus que les ennemis sont nombreux. Le combat final et la fin : j’aurais apprécié une fin plus brutale. Celle qui lui était destinée depuis le départ.
    Maaaais je comprends ce que vous avez voulu dire quant au deuil et au chemin mental emprunté par Senua.

    Ce jeu raconte l’histoire d’un deuil, vécu par une femme ayant un lien spécial avec les Dieux (surtout avec l’au-delà si on écoute sa mère). J’ai beaucoup aimé vivre cette expérience. On lui prête une malédiction, ce que nous soupçonnons souvent être une maladie mentale.

    Parlons-en justement : cet aspect du jeu et de la psychologie du personnage est capital dans sa qualité. Et la production/réalisation de cette ambition a été largement à la hauteur à mon avis.
    Rien que les petites voix intérieures constantes, qui peuvent autant te guider que te tromper, parfois. Magnifiquement réalisées dans le jeu. J’ai été sincèrement heureux de les retrouver à l’issue de l’arbre. Pour la durée limitée et certains aspects de la résolution d’énigmes… 8/10 « seulement ».

It breaks away from the typical walking simulator format, offering engaging gameplay in the Norse realm of Hel. The combat strikes a balance between accessibility and depth, while the puzzles involve finding shapes in the environment. The story is a standout, skillfully exploring Norse mythology, mental health, and grief through superb voice acting and impressive animation. The only drawbacks are the lack of initial explanation for the mechanics, and a few instances of poor pacing. However, looking past all that, Hellblade offers a rewarding gaming experience with a unique story.

It has given me more migraines thanks to a combination of misguided puzzles, aimless wandering around, and genuinely somber/depressing sounds and environments. Sure, it may be aimed at psychosis, its experiences and its overcoming (and most would relate to it very much) but for a guy like me who has suffered depression for more than 20 years, it was a completely different experience. Something akin to Silent Hill 2 (though not as chillingly spooky). The only praise I have for this game is the graphics and sound effects, which are simply outstanding. Otherwise it is quite a massive letdown for me. I was eager to play this in the hope Ninja Theory made classics like Enslaved and Heavenly Sword. But boy was I let down afterwards.… Expand

    - The narrative is amazing.

    - Senua is an amazing character with an amazing arc in this game.

    - The exploration of psychosis in gaming is very interesting, the game feels hypnotic at times. You feel her confusion and frantic feelings throughout the story.

    - The sound design is amazing. Play with headphones!

    - The puzzles are so cool and clever, very different from many other games.

    - The setting and lore is fun and deep.

    - The style and artistic expression of the story telling is crazy good.

    Here are my negatives
    - The combat's camera and arena. People like to dunk on this games combat, and I agree that it is rough to a degree but not for the reasons people give. Let me explain. The combat itself is fine, it is simple, feels weighty, and has a good rhythm to it. It makes sense in a narrative game about mental health and grief. The problem is the camera, the arena sizes, the poor lock on system, and the amount of enemies in these small arenas. Those issues combined makes a decent combat system feel clunky and bad. I like the combat, there are just other factors that bog it down. I am hopeful the combat in the sequel will be better.

    I only have one negative, and it was frustrating enough to bring it down a point. If the issues with combat sequences were fixed this game would be an easy 10. Play it on gamepass now!    … Expand

    Hellblade may be a very good, story-driven game, but.... the gameplay, for me, was awful and frustrating. The game may have some deeper meaning, some story to tell, but it's hard to enjoy it when the lack of precision of the combat system breaks up the immersion. A pretty game, nothing more.
    Form over substance. Not recommended, unless you're a masochist.

Gameplay and graphics are decent, especially for such a small dev team, but not reaching top standarts. The main point here is the inevitable emotional connection, or even symbiosis with Senua's feelings, doubts and intentions , THIS is what des of Hellblade an intense experience, not just another video game.

    A joyless, if artful, slog.

    Looks good, the combat grows on you, and I respect the lack of hand holding. But the dreary sub-hellraiser dialogue gets extremely boring. As do the long unskippable cutscenes, forced walking portions, and constant un-jump-overable rocks that force you long way round every f-ing obstacle. Also, how about some levity? I remember when video games were fun.    A joyless, if artful, slog.

All'inizio bisogna dargli fiducia, con il passare delle ore (poche) ci si innamora facilmente, ed è come se tutti diventassimo Senua. Grafica, effetti sonori, colonne sonore le ho trovate ottime. Unica cosa che migliorerei (per il prossimo) sarebbe il doppiaggio. Un gioco come questo dovrebbe essere doppiato nella maggioranza delle lingue del mondo. Sentire le voci che sente Senua nella lingua che non è la tua è meno immersivo che nel sentirle nella tua lingua. Riguardo i combattimenti io li ho trovati coerenti con il gioco, ripetitivi forse, ma avevano tutto quello che serviva. E riuscire a colpire un nemico o parare un colpo per sbilanciarlo è molto soddisfacente.… Expand

    A refreshing take on more nuanced storytelling.

    Coming into Hellblade, I didn't have many expectations. I knew the game was praised by many, but I also saw others trashing it. To my surprise, the game hit me with a compelling narrative that I would expect from a first party Sony exclusive.

    The interesting journey our main character goes through is one that is metaphorical and filled with intrigue. While the environments, world building, graphics and cutscenes were all phenomenal, the gameplay itself suffered. The traversing mechanics were pretty basic, but acceptable enough for this type of game and the collectibles, which offered pieces of narrated lore (taken from north mythology), made exploring your environment worthwhile.
    The combat felt very satisfying, specially when you were fighting against 1-3 opponents. However there were some sections where there were way too many enemies on screen which took away from the feeling of awesomeness and instead replaced it with boredom. That, coupled with the fact that some arenas were too small, making it, sometimes, impossible to dodge attacks, made the whole experience worse than it would have otherwise been. The bosses were all well made and ask the player to learn how to counter them, which is what I find most appealing in Hellblade's combat.
    There were some sections that broke the monotony that started settling it after 3-4 hours into the game, however those were short lived. The puzzles were never too complicated, but they did their job.

    The story, paired with its amazing soundtrack, is indeed the crowning jewel of this experience. There is love and dedication poured into it and it shows in spades. It's a narrative that not everyone will get, and some might even not care for, but to those who like games such as GOW (2018), TLOU, Telltale's TWD and other narrative driven games, then I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    I tried Hellblade several years ago on PS4. It had a game ending bug where I couldn’t progress in the game past the first part. I bought it on the Switch, but I never played it on there. When it came out for Xbox Series X, I thought this was the time. It’s a beautiful game in 4k with raytracing. It’s an intense game experience- especially with headphones on.

It’s an intense game experience- especially with headphones on. The 3D audio is excellent. It’s an emotional game- but that’s a good thing. I like games that make you feel something. The only downside was that there were too many rune puzzles- they became kind of tedious. But other than that, I really enjoyed the experience. I’m glad there’s a sequel coming in at some point. I could see playing this game again in the future.… Expand

    The game is just not good. It looks beautiful, some of the cutscenes look really pretty and have a lot of creativity in them. The gameplay however is abhorrent.

The gameplay however is abhorrent. The movement is horrible in this game, Senua moves like an old grandma. Her running speed is reduced to jogging and her walking speed is reduced to plodding. The combat in this game starts off okay, but then you realise the rest of the game is going to revolve around the same attacks and defenses. It never evolves, it just stays the game which makes the combat segments super easy. The puzzles for this game are pretty boring and unbearable a lot of the time. You’ll spend like 15 minutes just trailing around looking to open a gate and it never changes. Just run around using your focus ability to find the right pieces to open a gate, how clever. As for the story, well it’s fine. It’s not even that great and I don’t understand why it’s getting so much praise. Senua is a really bland protagonist who was never likeable or interesting. The story was quite interesting, especially in the first hour of the game. I think it mostly comes down to good voice acting and really great visuals and set pieces. I think it kind if misses the mark on it’s premise to befin with. I never really understood what the story was going for. I never felt like I was eye opened to mental illness at any point. It was so deeply convoluted that it didn’t make much sense. There’s a lot of exposition which isn’t ever good, when your protagonist is almost silent with little dialogue. I don’t think Hellblade is bad but it’s nothing short of mediocre. It’s just an okay game with really bad gameplay in my opinion. 5/10… Expand

Este es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida, creo que se merecia un goty aunque la cosa ese año fue muy reñida pero aun asi pienso que Senua es de los mejores personajes construidos en un juego, no conoces nada de ella al inicio pero al final te interesa todo de ella y te preocupas mucho de lo que le pase, aunque no es muy perfecto el juego, comete uno de los errores mas fatales si se hace mal, la repetitividad, odie las zonas que eran un quest, eran sumamente repetitivas y ya cansaban, pero bueno que cuando ya estabas a punto de aburrirte se alejan de eso y continuan con la historia y mas batallas contra los jefes mientras descubres la historia de senua y el porque lo hace, el perder a un ser querido no es facil, menos si es tu esposo o novio, queriendo recuperarlo a toda costa, luchando contra una maldita diosa poderosa, A parte de la gran historia uno de los mejores aspectos del juego es el audio, este juego lo debes jugar si o si con audiculares... el juego tiene un gran aspecto en el, las voces de la enfermedad que tiene senua es muy asombroso, el ambiente igual... el final me dejo un poco elado de lo que esta pasando, pero en fin es un grandioso juego, no puedo esperar al 2.… Expand

    As a game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is the cross between a puzzle-lite walking simulator and a brutal action-adventure. Despite some mild design and middling technical flaws, it balances both aspects rather well. As a narrative, this is one fantastic experience. It’s an honest, challenging look at battling mental illness that will stick with you long after the credits roll. It’s as beautiful as it is soul-crushing, making it a must play for anyone who still has a soul to crush.
