Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

TriedandTested · 7 Aug 2017 at 23:37

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. 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.

Just saw this on Steam, releases in a few hours. Know nothing about it and will likely wait for reviews, but looks interesting!

Forgot about this. I have no idea if its going to be any good but I have read that they have focused on game play and story over hours and hours of content. I think its only about 6-8 hours long, which really interests me. Probably will pick this up.

saw this advertised on steam av never heard of it but looks no bad, will wait for reviews too.

I like the look of this and it makes me think of Ryse son of Rome (which I loved).

Does me too. It's £24.99 on Steam now too, which is a great price i think.

Solid reviews so far, most 8/10 or above. Good to see

The realtime face/motion capture tech they developed with Epic for this has been really interesting to follow.

Glad the game is turning out to be good!

sound in this game is incredible.. and supports 3440x1440p

Rifte · 8 Aug 2017 at 09:24

Really really want this.....but sooo many other games to play.

Not sure if I can hold out!

First time I've seen this. Looks impressive. Hopefully it's not all flash and no substance.

Willir · 8 Aug 2017 at 09:46

Will probably pick this up at some point, heard about it a while back.

The motion capture and facial animation looks excellent.

If you die to many times it wipes your save file completely by design. That would just stop me wanting to try again with the limited time I get to play. Though one review stated on Hard they died like 3 times so maybe it's not too bad. Weird one

Reminds me of what Ryze was for the Xbox, doesn't look too much like a game and more of a Tech demo trying to show off the PS4.

Just watched IGN's video, lighting and graphics looks top notch.

Looks beautiful on my Acer X34a ultra-wide. It looks a lot like Dark Souls 3. Enemy's are brutal. Voices are freaky. Very dark and scary. It is very short though. hence the price, but well worth it.
