This isn't a video game. It's an interactive panic attack. Play alone in the dark with headphones, and don't feel ashamed if you have to step away and take a break.

Controls? Heavy Combat? Clunky Story, Sound and Animation? Oh my holy hell.. 50 out of 10 This is the kind of game that I didn't know developers had the guts to make. This game is carnally real while handling topics with finesse and respect that are too taboo for the rest of the industry to even attempt. This is more of an experience than it is a game and I wish I could experience it for the first time all over again; it is certainly the first game in my long gaming career to make me cry. I wish I could give it more thumbs up.

Never played anything like it First of all, anyone trying this game should come in with an open mind to experience a narrative that builds slowly, focusing far less on an action-oriented gameplay and much more on something deeply personal to the protagonist, Senua - a Scottish warrior afflicted with, or perhaps gifted with, the ability to hear voices. The emphasis is on her story, her emotions and the mystery of what awaits her at the end. The pacing is slow and you’ll pick up a good amount of Norse lore as you traverse the land of the Northmen. Having played God of War (2018), I felt right at home with the mythological elements, though playing GoW is by no means a pre-requisite. Some players might feel disinterested early on, as the game can feel like a walking simulator at times. To them, I’d say: stick with it for at least the first three hours i.e., up to the completion of the initial two main quests. The game truly picks up after that and becomes spectacular. Some of the later areas especially the Blindness trial, are absolutely phenomenal leaving me speechless. I was blown away that such a personal, impactful experience could even be created. With “darkness” being a central theme, there were moments that really tested my nerves, yet I found myself even more eager to see what came next. In a way, the game helped me confront my own fears, just as the protagonist is meant to. Although I have a 5.1 speaker setup, I found that playing with headphones (as the game itself recommends), made for a far richer experience, especially with the constant voices whispering in your ears. Here's my short take on some of the aspects of the game: PROS CONS Deep and dark portrayal of the mind of the protagonist The visual effects on-screen such as blurriness and chromatic aberrations which are intentionally added to create atmosphere, can give you sore eyes especially during the first half of the game Incredible Audio and Atmosphere - elevated when using headphones Slow start till the first half Unique and Emotional Story Simple yet tense, up-close and personal combat Strong Visuals & Art Direction Unique puzzles 🏆 HIGHLIGHTS: Atmosphere, Audio and Up-close Combat VERDICT : Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a powerful, artistic, and unforgettable game that blends storytelling, atmosphere, and sound design in a way few games do. It is dark, profound and creates a deep personal experience. Though it isn’t a long game, but if you put your mind to it and engage with it fully, it leaves a lasting impact. Recommendation: ✅ Rating: 9.2/10
