Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

hellblade, story, ending

An action-adventure, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice strips player’s of their sanity by pushing them into the shoes of someone with Schizophrenia. It’s not fun. What’s real? Which voice should be listened to? Games are meant to empower players, but Hellblade goes to great lengths to take that power away, and force players to question the dark, oppressive world around Senua in a way that players usually don’t have to in other games. When there’s nothing concrete to latch onto, the only thing left should be the mind.

After all, “I think, therefore I am.” However, without a stable mind to latch onto, the player is left to struggle forward against odds they can’t even be sure are real.
