The first battle is not an easy one having but only a moment to adjust. Where Senua's reality divides from other realities is for you to decide. The perspective doesn't shift between an outsider and Senua, everything in this game is a reality of her own. Sometimes this world is created by Senua herself. There's little distraction from your main goal and the world reflects that. The audiovisual concept works great with the mythology and the gameplay. The path follows into her deepest fears and an inner darkness only a strong mind can endure. There is no tutorial for you to follow but the path Senua has chosen for herself. One of a Celtic warrior against all odds, a raiding Viking tribe and their gods. You're a part of her and her most precious ally in this world where her quest is not one of a hero but a broken individual in a harsh brutal world. By integrating you into the world of Hellblade and Senua's mind you become one of the voices in her head. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is none of that. Some try to reflect realism by adding a survival system, others have an open world where you can do whatever you want, most of the time leaving you with time consuming fetch quests. Comparable to any other medium video games have an advantage over most of them and that's immersion. When it comes to video games nowadays one thing that is most important to me is the story. Xbox has had various showcases, but Hellblade hasn't had a look in aside from vague teases.Small spoilers for the first thirty minutes may appear.
It was revealed at The Game Awards in 2019, before returning in 2021 to show off extended gameplay footage. After Hellblade, the studio was then acquired by Microsoft, and began work on a sequel. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was made by the fairly small studio Ninja Theory, who describe Hellblade as an "indie triple-A", which makes a mockery of the already loose categorisation we have in gaming. This year, while everyone else cares about Zelda and Starfield, all I'm interested in is Hellblade 2. Back in 2020 when we had The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, my heart belonged to THPS, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
Last year, when everyone knew God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring would duke it out for GOTY, I had my eye on Legends: Arceus and Ghostwire: Tokyo. For the past few years, the biggest appeal for me has lay in the 'quite big' games over the 'very big' games.
