Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
(Aug. 8 – PS4, PC)
August 2017 Games to Look Forward to
Hellblade was announced way back in 2014 during Gamescom and instantly caught the attention of many. This AAA indie experience, which promised the visuals and production values you get from a large studio actually comes from a small, tight-knit development team. With Norse and Celtic inspirations, the game showed dark shadows, and vicious foes that must be overcome by Senua, a small warrior who is venturing through a world of nightmares. Those nightmares, though, happen to be her own.
Players will have to deal with the reality created by Senua’s psychosis as they navigate a dark twisted world of her own creation. We don’t know what waits for her on the other side of all that pain and anguish, but we know that we will happily join her on that dark, emotional journey.
