Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PS4) Review
Flaws and all, "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" is a one of a kind video game experience, providing an experience that hasn't been seen in gaming before.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review – A Bold Risk
In a world where mental illness is still very much a keep-hush conversational taboo, Ninja Theory must be applauded for tackling the issue with great passion and ferocity, placing it centre-stage in what is an incredibly hands-on medium. That's before even considering Hellblade as a game.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice review – the road to hell
The makers of Heavenly Sword create a game with graphics to rival Horizon Zero Dawn and a story that demands to be take seriously.- The core combat is fantastic and the incredible visuals are amongst the best on the PlayStation 4
- Ambitious and well-researched narrative
- The puzzle elements are horribly dull and the game eventually runs out of interesting things to do with the combat
- Poor pacing and confused storytelling
It's frustrating how close to a masterpiece Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is. It has the looks, the atmosphere, the swordplay and the heart. If only it had more focus on the storytelling and gameplay. First, it's the burdensome narrative that almost drowns all the sensibility stored in Senua's tale.
Nudity Rating is a Joke and Swearing is Minimal
Exactly what the title says, honestly. The combat is somewhat graphic; blood spurts when you hit an enemy and environments can have corpses strewn about, but definitely NOTHING that a teen (even 11 or 12) couldn't handle.
Brilliant game and value for money
I bought this game last week. The storyline, graphics, puzzles and action make this game one of my favourites! Ive been gaming for atleast 35 years!
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review – A Dark Descent into Absolute Psychosis
After Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and 2013's Devil May Cry , developer Ninja Theory has taken a more intimate route by deciding to self-publish their new, ‘AAA', third-person action game.- Simple and deep combat system
- Enthralling story
- Gorgeous landscapes
- Repetitive puzzles
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice uses everything in its arsenal to perpetuate feelings of dread, anxiety and fear: camera perspective, light, sound, visuals, combat. There are no scary monsters, no jump scares, none of the traditional horror fare.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Any sense of direction in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is intentionally vague, whispered by an often conflicting chorus of voices, known as Furies, that serve as an ever-present reminder of the Celtic warrior Senua's psychosis.
