playing Hellblade in 2024
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (2017) is a game I enjoyed when it released. With Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga releasing soon, I figured it was a good time to revisit the OG.

    Crazy how it came out earlier than God of War 2018 and can be argued was first to bring together what made the 2018 reboot unique: The (mostly) one take camera angle and how upclose it can be, the graphical fidelity of environments, good narrative and norse mythology.

    Judging Hellblade on it's "gameiness" seems ridiculious especially when the intention of the design is to be repetitive and tedious - the game is explaining what people deal with on a daily basis - so ofcourse after a while it get's annoying - THAT'S THE POINT! The combat I can understand people's complaint about. It's not explained, and if you don't understand it - you'll easily be confused and bored. It's not a button masher, and it's not a combo system - it's situational. If you remember those old arcade game where you got 2-buttons and depending on when and in what order you press them different combos come out - that's how Hellblade's combos work. It requires patience, and grit - and that's what they aimed for because Senua herself isn't a fighter, she's new to this just like you - that's the purpose of the experience. You and her are one, experiencing the same thing together.

    If Insomniac takes any notes from Raven Software on how to do Wolverine justice let it be these 4 things: 1) Real-time healing factor with a regenerative health system. ❤️🩸 2) Blood, guts, gore & dismemberment alongside sick finishing moves. 💀 3) Lunge mechanic for traversing great distances and for dispatching enemies as only Logan can. 4) Lots of various costumes/suits from the comic books and movies.

    How do you expect a game to stay the same over 20+ years? Games change. @7:12 ‘what was the mindset here behind this little throwback’ uh I’d say it’s all the reviewers who sht on the new games because they aren’t clones of AC1 and 2.

    This game is, without a doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. I couldn't put it down. People who shit on it have no idea what they're talking about and probably haven't played it. Some of the platforming gets ridiculous, yes, but it's truly satisfying once you pull it off. The combat is fantastic and the controls are smooth and snappy. And, oh my god, is it beautiful. Get it!

    Hellblade is one of my all time favourites. It sat on my backlog forever and when I finally played it I remember gushing to all my friends about how good it is and that there's no reason they shouldn't play it. I love it so much I did a 100% deathless playthrough in one sitting and uploaded it to UA-cam because I wanted other people to see how good the game is.

    Oh my God this gave me chillls. I've never watched a video from you before but your review on this is legitimately my same review verbatim. I've been alone in my passion for this game since I first played it in 2011. I feel like my life is pre and post this game 😅. I have recently been streaming this for my Sister and BIL and it was so good to see them so totally sucked into the story with me. I always say it's a gamers game. It literally has everything gamers crave. 13 years was a very long time to wait so I was a bit worried about the build up. This game absolutely surpassed all expectations. Obsessed.

    Ubisoft did this game dirty as hell the trailers music (i like 2wei so it didn't bother me) and the price point of 49.99 (should have been 30 dollars and 35 for deluxe edition) and finally no one announced the demo on either system store so no one got to play it before the game came out and was stuck in their hate.

    I'm 45 and been playing since the 80s. And Stellar Blade is one of the few games that I actually started a new game right after I finished my first play-through at 55 hours. I find the dialogue and the script to be awful; yes, I'm very critical about stuff like that. But the reason it didn't affect me at all is because I never play games like Ninja Gaiden series, Soulsborne series, Devil May Cry series, Bayonetta, Nioh and so on for their story and dialogues. In fact, in most of those games I have no idea what the heck is going on even to this day because I'm 100% focused on the combat. And I consider all those games masterpieces. When I actually want story and dialogue I purposely play a western or jrpg. I never had so much fun hunting for new costumes for Eve.

    This was quite possibly the most intimate, emotional, and terrifying journey I've taken in a game. It takes this form of digital storytelling to new heights. It's in my top 10 of all time--easy. My female partner even wanted to watch me play it, which never happens.
