I deliberated between being overly philosophical, in my attempt to explain the aspect of quality of the title under examination, to just \u201ctheatrical\u201d so I could relate the sentiment(s) I have been left with after I finished <strong>Hellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice<\/strong>. In the end, I chose to present you my internal conflict, indicative perhaps of the themes that the title addresses among others. Dear reader, rest assured; Hellblade is a <strong>very special title<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_9-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 9 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_9_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">What would be the true meaning behind all the Northmen\u2019 lore stories?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I caught glimpse of Hellblade from the first teasers three years ago. The impression I was left with was that the game would be quite action-oriented with a hint of horror and heavily influenced by Norse themes (runes on swords etc). I must admit I put it under the radar as there have been quite a few releases which draw inspiration from Norse mythology and end up being lacklustre. How wrong my first impressions were! How lucky I was that I was not hyped! I got into the game unsuspecting of what I would witness. Still, in the process of having everything I saw in the 8.5 hours (from start to finish) sink in, I will attempt to transcribe what is Hellblade.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 2 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_2_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">And I walked through a graveyard of ships.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE BLOODY DEAD, IN BLOODY ORKNEY&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>There are many descriptions and tags which try to define Hellblade: \u201chorror-orientated, action game\u201d, \u201chack\u2019n\u2019slash\u201d, \u201cnarrative\u201d. They are quite wrong while being right; <strong>Hellblade is a study of its creators on a human psychosis using video games as a medium of visualisation and expression, and it\u2019s a thorough experience for whoever chooses to play it<\/strong>. It transcends the petty genre tags and provides its audience with an unparalleled immersive experience.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_5-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 5 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_5_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">The dead horse of Hel<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our heroine is Senua, a Celtic female warrior, her design influenced by the medieval Pict tribes in Scotland during the Roman occupation of Great Britain. She arrives in <strong>Helheim<\/strong>, the Norse land of the dead, to claim redemption for her lost lover. One might suggest that her tale is the Celtic take on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with the roles reversed. Right from the start, we understand that this is far from the case. Senua is special, in the sense that you arrive as a silent observer in her head. You are welcomed by a voice, the one of many \u2013 who would resemble the ancient Greek Erinyes \u2013 as she urges you to follow Senua in her quest. Senua\u2019s aim is simple: she will reach and confront Hela, the goddess of Death, and claim Dillion \u2013 her lover \u2013 back to the world of the living.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_6-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 6 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_6_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">\u201cOut, damned spot! Out, I say! One, two. Why, <br \/>then, &#8217;tis time to do&#8217;t. &#8211; Hell is murky!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I honestly do not want to spoil the story of Senua. It relies on a <strong>very simple premise<\/strong>, but ultimately it is how it unfolds into an intricate webby pattern that\u2019s important. Small hints in the narrative comprise a very detailed character backstory and development, one you rarely see in the medium. The daemons Senua has to face balance between reality and fantasy. The game uses Senua as a vessel to provide just a glimpse of the hallucinations and delusions which a psychotic person may experience. Yes, <strong>Senua is psychotic<\/strong> as her grasp of reality is quite thin, that much is clear from the start. After all, how would it be possible to look us into the eyes, as if we were actually there? We are peering through the looking-glass, we\u2019re just non-existent observers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_8-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 8 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_8_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">Without matching those of the Dark Souls series, the boss battles are quite intense and well presented.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\n<hr title=\"What makes something special?\" class=\"system-pagebreak\" alt=\"What makes something special?\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>THE SEER SINGS<\/h4>\n<p>The players will find themselves deeply immersed in the game\u2019s story. There are two major factors responsible for this: a) the approach in direction and b) Ninja Theory\u2019s handling of state-of-the-art technologies to tell their story and get their message across. As far as direction goes, there are quite a few things one can say. From the frame compositions, the sequences in unveiling new locations or enemies, to the actual behaviour of Senua herself everything is there for a reason. The first 5-6 hours of Hellblade provide a constant escalation of strong emotions as we learn new ways with which Senua observes her environs. Surroundings full of Norse paganist horror and imposing landscapes. Or is it just our twisted perception?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_4-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 4 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_4_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">A moment of respite, recollection, bliss\u2026?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Otherworldly ambient sounds can be heard as we walk past derelict houses, the sounds of still life \u2013 or widespread death. We can listen to Viking horns in the mist, as we walk past longships, hanging chains and bones rattling against the wind. We may have the sudden urge to listen to the mystifying music of <strong>Wardruna<\/strong> and <strong>Forndom<\/strong>, but it will just as suddenly dissolve as we will listen to the ambient sounds which can only mean that new horrors need to be faced. One of the eeriest and horrifying video game experiences I\u2019ve ever had was the start of Act 2 in the original Max Payne (the dream level). It was not because of what was there or not, but of what the visual \u2013 and more importantly \u2013 the sound effects (and\u2026 younger age) forced my mind make all those unconscious connections. While Senua is not disturbing for my taste \u2013 trust me there may be people who may find it as such \u2013 it managed to match that experience.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_7-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 7 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_7_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">We all have great doors to cross at certain points in our lives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>All these artistic details are hard to miss from the start (there a few more which are much more subtle). Although the direction takes a strong stance on how to best demonstrate the major conflict happening in Senua\u2019s world, it leaves much to the player for assembly and, thus, interpretation, besides the main theme. How did Senua end up in her state is unveiled gradually, intricately, artistically, exceptionally. An average person (please note; <strong>not<\/strong> \u201cnormal\u201d) may find Melina Juergens\u2019 (Senua\u2019s alter real-life ego) reactions and acting grossly exaggerated. Arguably, after finishing the game I understood and sympathised in a <strong>profound way<\/strong> why Senua reacts the way she does. From start to finish the attention to detail is outstanding.<\/p>\n<h4>THE EYES ARE THE MIRRORS OF THE SOUL<\/h4>\n<p>Another field in which Hellblade shines is in how it uses the medium\u2019s technologies. This visual novel\/study pushes you on edge right from the start. You have to play this game with your headphones on no matter what. The audio is unmatched to my recent memory, and how could it not be? Ninja Theory used a <strong>binaural<\/strong> recording room, resulting in everything you listen to be relative in <strong>3D space<\/strong>. \u201cOh, I heard a maniacal laugh from my right\u2026 wait, it moved towards the back of my head\u2026now, back to the right\u2026 another voice on the left at the same time\u2026 what is happening to me?\u201d You have suddenly become Senua herself. Special reference should be made to the voice actors who gave an outstanding performance. There were a few very unsuspecting moments where no action took place and the voices effects (eg. hisses) made my neck skin crawl out of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 1 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_1_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">The choices we make define us. What about the ones we have them made for us? <br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In order to enforce the impact of the story, engage the players into immersion as much as possible the game has <strong>no HUD<\/strong>, only clues. The voices are one with another being Senua\u2019s rotten hand, an indication of a health bar; her mental health. The game follows the golden rule<strong> \u201cless is more\u201d<\/strong> exceptionally. The engine contributes quite a lot to that aspect. It\u2019s possibly one of the first games using Unreal Engine 4 I\u2019ve played with the exception of UT2014. I\u2019ve realised we have come a long way since the rendition of Xan\u2019s and Malcolm\u2019s faces in the original Unreal Tournament. Words cannot do justice to describe the motion capture technology that was utilised to bring Senua into digital life. I could see Senua\u2019s eyes shining or the fear drawn on her face, a whole range of emotions which I was fortunate to witness. The environments are so still, devoid of life, yet so lush and rich in themes. Hellblade\u2019s visuals are truly engrossing. Thankfully, Ninja Theory incorporated a <strong>Photo Mode<\/strong> (accessed by pressing the <strong>Home<\/strong> key) which can be used to take pictures of the game however we see fit. It\u2019s a mode which possibly entitles a second playthrough just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n<hr title=\"Sail to the deepest depths of your soul\" class=\"system-pagebreak\" alt=\"Sail to the deepest depths of your soul\" \/>\n<h4>THE END IS MERELY THE BEGINNING<\/h4>\n<p>Honestly, I could drag on and on. I could emphasise how delicately Ninja Theory have dealt with a very sensitive matter such as psychosis, taking notes from established scientists in the field and actual people living in this perpetual state. How they have consulted historians to depict an accurate world. How the combat mechanics are quite fluent without being overbearing. I will not do that.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wf_caption\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><a class=\"jcepopup\" href=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: auto;\" alt=\"Senua main 3 small\" src=\"http:\/\/ragequit.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Senua_main_3_small-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><span style=\"width: 800px; display: block;\">\u2026 he was dancing under the tree\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice is not a game. It\u2019s an example of what people with vision, scope and means-for-the-purpose can achieve without being burdened about demographics of marketing to a target audience. <strong>It\u2019s a true testament of what the combination of Art and Science can result in, using video games as a medium of expression.<\/strong> It\u2019s a mature, raw, truthful visualisation of a sensitive subject, devoid of any political correctness which would possibly distort the reality for the sake of being accommodating. Whoever would talk about narrative novels in videogames, of profound experiences, Hellblade is going to be the benchmark, the target-to-beat; technologically, directionally, narratively. Its sequences are &#8211; literally and figuratively &#8211; Poetry. Forget for a moment all the trendy competitive online games. Buy Hellblade. Switch off the lights. Put on your headphones. Turn it on. And live the best experience for 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">This review was made possible due to the affiliation programme between Ragequit.gr and GOG.com.&nbsp; To support GOG.com and Ragequit.gr, you can buy Hellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice by following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/game\/hellblade_senuas_sacrifice?pp=5b0a98ee33fe8ed5a445d6520577dd0fa7b3eedd\">this link<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"thumbup tie-list-shortcode\"> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stunning visuals.
