Set in the Viking Age and steeped in Norse/Celtic mythology, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is one of those games you just don't forget. It is a brutal journey deep into darkness - into the hellish underworld and into the most vulnerable parts of the mind. It is a masterpiece in terms of atmosphere. The music is out of this world, like a dark, epic fairy tale, it sends shivers down your spine - absolutely magnificent. Hellblade's representations of mental illness and dealing with a traumatic past are both beautiful and terrifying.
The combat style is very unique and a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Some of the puzzles and pacing of the game can be a bit frustrating at times, but it all adds up to an extraordinary gaming experience.
I must say that the Sea of Corpses was one of the most epic and exhilarating moments in my entire gaming history. That part was just incredible. It seriously still gives me the chills just thinking about it! I loved it!
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a hauntingly beautiful game that stays in your mind and in your heart. Fantastic job!
