Giving up: not quite a Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice review | Full Sync

Nil loves horror, but he's not some fearless badass. He enjoys triggering that part in his brain that encourages you to say fuck that and get the hell out. Creepy, scary shit is absolutely his jam. But how would Hellblade compare to some of the other horror games he has thrown himself into?

I suffer from psychosis as well and I understand where you are coming from! I did complete Hellblade and it will forever be with me.

No game has ever triggered deep down emotions in me like this game did. I followed the development closely and was intrigued because of the subject matter but I wasn't ready for how fully realized it would be.

Thank goodness there are meds and support for us who suffer and really enjoyed your article!

EDIT: I didn't play with the headphones though!

Playing with headphones was terrifying. I could play Resident Evil 7 at night with the lights out and headphones just fine, but being alone in the DAY TIME with hellblade would freak me out due to its sound design. Dear lord

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review | What's It Like In 2024?

Admittedly, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is far from perfect and won't be a game for everyone, but now with a multitude of accessibility options it has made itself much more palatable for a wider audience, and with constant sale prices between $2-$4, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is too good to pass up for a unique experience that has stood the test of time and will do so once more with its even more robust and epic sequel.

The only thing epic about this “game” is how longnit took to make.

The Hellblade games looked nice but they were essentially walking simulators with a minimal amount of combat tracked on.

Waiting to see what the "Recommended" spec be like!

Skuletor403d ago

Waiting to see if "Minimum" spec targets 30fps 😂

PassNextquestion403d ago

It's my understanding that the frame rate is unlocked on the pc version

Skuletor402d ago

@PassNextquestion
I've seen Ubisoft have PC specs that have targeted 30fps before.

PassNextquestion403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Why the heck do you need Windows 11 to run the game? I remember there was a ssd feature locked to windows 11 not sure if that's still the case and if that's the reason.. direct storage I believe it is called

DivineHand125403d ago

If those are the minimum specs on PC then why can't the series x do more than 30 fps? Did they intentionally lock it to 30 fps when higher frame rates are possible?

PassNextquestion402d ago

Maybe they didn't want to compromise on the graphics

DarXyde402d ago

Very probable, but I can't really believe that when literally, the Series S ensures that they do.

I kind of think they just want to make it 30fps now to make an update later to keep people "on the hook" or give game pass subs something to look forward to with this game later on.

Personally, I think this game can push at least 45fps, but that's just my opinion. I don't really see a game this short being announced before TLOU2 launched, only to come out *now* and they haven't gotten those frames up.

RedDeadLB402d ago

Probably because they wanted better fidelity and that is probably too demanding for the XSX to push a stable 60fps on. Judging how most games are these days, the performance difference between low to high is sometimes not enough to target double the framerate. A locked, smooth 30fps i better than an unstable 60, even though it feels like picking between two turds.
