For those that don’t know: Hellblade released last August via the PlayStation 4 and PC (it has since come to the Xbox One). Garnering a Metacritic score ranging from low to high 80’s (depending on the platform), Hellblade quickly cultivated a hardcore fanbase, who vowed for it throughout the remainder of the year until it eventually won numerous awards, including cleaning house at the BAFTAs.
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is available for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. You can read more about it below:
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.
Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.
