BY MOSHE SWEET: As the credits rolled on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, I found myself frozen, gripping my controller. Then, a feeling of relief washed over me. I have never felt so happy to finish a game before, and not because it was bad or poorly designed, but because Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice is the most captivating, horrific and emotionally draining game I have ever played.
I could have written a normal review for Hellblade but that would be an injustice because this is not like any other game I have ever played. Instead of focusing on the traditional aspects of the game, such as gameplay and graphics, I want to focus on the journey I went through with this game. My journey with Senua.
Before Hellblade 2 launches on Xbox, the new Xbox Spring Sale means you can pick up the first Hellblade game for an extremely cheap price.
Xbox Game Pass continues to bring quality titles for gamers no matter the genre, but this time we here at CGMagazine have compiled a list of spine-tingling titles to celebrate the spooky season with.
The Dead Space Remake gets added to GamePass 10/26, definitely worth playing through.
Senua's Sacrifice was a cathartic mental journey. Can the sequel do the same?
Same, but I think it will be very hard to capture the magic of the first one. It hit so hard and I don't know if the same feeling can go across to a new game.
I like to keep my expectations low for pretty much everything. if you put too much hope on an upcoming release, you will almost surely always be disappointed. It's not different than overhyping a game publicly, just internally.
That being said, I am looking forward to this title and seeing more. What I've seen so far surely looks extremely impressive, and intriguing, but that's all the more reason I don't wanna put too much energy into it til its closer to launch.
Wow, that was a pretty deep experience this guy had with this game. Id recommend Journey, Unfinished Swan, Bendy and the Ink Machine if he wants to continue to have experiences like this.
A very bad game.
