I’ve been meaning to finish Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice since it was released on PS4 in 2017. Critics lauded Ninja Theory’s low-budget action/adventure game as a masterwork of superb game design and performance capture. It has since been released for PC, Xbox, and, most recently, the Nintendo Switch. The developer studio was purchased by Microsoft. Then, during the 2019 Game Awards, a sequel for the new Xbox Series X was unveiled.

Okay, no more apologies. I purchased it on the Switch, downloaded it, and played it for two days… I then loaded it up again on the PC thanks to Game Pass to give it another shot.

If you’re seeking for a six-hour game that combines class-leading graphics and sound design, intuitive timing-based combat, and well-paced storytelling, you’ve come to the right spot.

OVERVIEW

I’ve been a fan of Ninja Theory’s games since their 2007 PS3 hit Heavenly Sword. When I initially heard the name “Hellblade” and saw some of the designs, I thought they were trying to develop a sequel to that game without getting sued by Sony, who still owns the older IP.In practice, that is only half-right. Hellblade, like Heavenly Sword, is an action/adventure game with a strong female protagonist and several edged weapons. Hellblade, on the other hand, has a far more focused and nuanced design than God of War.
You’ll take on the role of Senua, and for a seamless stretch of six to seven hours, you won’t leave her side. Most of the game is composed of long, unbroken camera shots.
 

This is accomplished on the “bigger” systems with full real-time rendering of both gaming and story sections. To disguise loading, the game cleverly transitions between real-time gameplay and pre-rendered videos on the more memory-constrained Switch. Regardless of the system you use, if you play the game without pausing, you will have a single continuous experience.

Senua is suffering from psychosis, which presents itself as numerous visual and audio experiences throughout the game. These were supposedly designed in collaboration with a slew of medical specialists in order to be real. This aesthetic and storytelling decision clashes thematically with the Viking-era backdrop and fantasy clichés on show, yet the emotional moments are consistent.
