Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Much has been sacrificed here, although it shouldn’t come as a total surprise. Created by a team of just 20 and self-published, Ninja Theory was always putting itself in a tricky position with Hellblade. Its intentions were noble: to make a game centered around the still-taboo subject of mental illness. Bolstered by the studio’s trademark graphical flair, smooth third-person hack-and-slash combat and a reduced price point, the aim was to revive the ‘double-A’ game in a meaningful way. Unfortunately Ninja Theory is so focused on its novel, in-game portrayal of psychosis that it has forgotten to build a decent game around it.
