Biggest Surprises From the Nintendo Direct
Ninja Theory’s Hellblade Is Coming to Switch
Seeing Ninja Theory’s action-adventure game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, at Nintendo’s Direct presentation was quite surprising to say the least, but as one of my favorite games of 2017, I’m all here for it.
What makes this announcement so surprising is that Ninja Theory has been acquired by Microsoft, so this must have been in the works long before that took place. Also, Hellblade is quite the looker in terms of graphical fidelity, so it will be interesting to see if the Switch can do this game justice.
Hellblade follows a woman named Senua who is stricken with psychosis that is on a mission to rescue the soul of her lost lover. There are hack and slash/puzzle elements that push Senua to her limits and these challenges are nothing compared to the inner demons that she must face due to her illness.
