About This Game



From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness.

2021 Update:
Return to Helheim and experience Senua’s world through new eyes with enriched visuals and new features. Upgraded materials, particles and LOD, DirectX Raytracing and optimised performance with NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR support. We have also used this opportunity to include some key accessibility improvements, including full controller remapping and colour blindness settings.

Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.

Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.

This game should be called Negative Self-Talk Simulator. Seriously though, my main complaint about this game is that the mystical world Senua interacts with is framed as a product of her trauma, whereas in my personal experience, it is the other way around: being in tune with... well, let’s call them spiritual intelligences--whom the vast majority of people (especially in our culture where the myth of science prevails) seem ignorant of and unable to perceive--can create a profound isolation and even violent reactions from fundamentalists. There are so many things I have to say about this but I will keep it brief: I found myself constantly telling the voices in the game to SHUT UP because that is how I keep them from chattering at me like that IRL. Are they within or without? To me, it doesn’t matter: they all speak for a reason, even if those reasons are bad. The good ones must be heeded and the bad ones must be subdued, but they all must be respected; this is my belief! But ...

Dark but very mysterious, atmospheric and interesting story full of Nordic mythology. The scenes where psychosis is shown were discomforting but I think well presented. I was drawn into the story which explores journey of trauma, grief and overcoming demons. I do recommend this game although it’s not easy sometimes.

The concept, story and execution is really good. The game can be a bit padded upon replay, especially during the 4 trials chapter but the concept on how story is being told carried the game.

I know people love it, but I couldn't get into it. While I do enjoy a good story in a game and awesome sound design, that's not the primary reason I play games. This is basically a walking simulator with simple repetitive fights and confusing puzzles thrown in.

The story is gripping and I was worried the whole time through. Its worth it if you want to get lost in a narrative. Hated the combat tho.
