Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Знаете, есть такие игры, когда садишься вечером поиграть на пару часов, а потом внезапно обнаруживаешь, что уже наступило утро. Так вот, эта игра точно не из таких. Я провел в ней 8 часов, но по ощущениям это длилось целую вечность. Вечность, которую я был вынужден провести вместе с неприятной пучеглазой тёткой с дредами. [strike](И да, судя по всему, ещё и феминисткой. Терпеть не могу феминисток.)[/strike] Не спорю, игра поднимает серьезные темы психических расстройств, но, боже, насколько же все это скучно и бездарно реализовано. Убогая боевая система, три вида врагов (со щитом, с мечом и гигачад), которые выглядят так, будто их взяли из бесплатной библиотеки ассетов и расставили по карте по принципу Ctrl+C → Ctrl+V, головоломки для детей дошкольного возраста и коридорные локации, прямые, как единственная извилина в мозгу дизайнера, который все это придумывал. Чем дольше я играл, тем сильнее росло раздражение. На протяжении всего прохождения меня не покидала лишь одна мысль: «Когда это уже закончится?» К тому же вместе с обычной версией игры в библиотеку Steam навсегда добавляется еще и VR-версия, которая нахрен никому не нужна, но теперь будет вечно засорять мою коллекцию без возможности её удалить. Резюмируя все вышесказанное - это худшая трата 37 гривень в моей жизни. Не рекомендую!

You’re going to have mixed feelings about this game and even more so if you bring up the sequel in the wrong company, but taken on its own terms Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a remarkable experience that stuck with me after I finished the game. Ninja Theory did a phenomenal job creating a game that plays closer to a film and leaned into that completely rather than apologizing for it. The walking simulator label is fair, the puzzles repeat their own logic more than they should, and the combat while satisfying in its own right never reaches the depth that dedicated action games offer. However I believe none of that stopped it from being one of the more affecting titles I’ve played in recent memory. The reason is simply because of the phenomenal performance from Melina Juergens. A woman who was a video editor at Ninja Theory with no prior acting experience and was originally cast as a placeholder. She ended up delivering a performance that won a BAFTA and frankly earned it. Senua’s psychosis is rendered through binaural audio that the game instructs you to experience through headphones, voices that whisper and argue and warn from every direction, and Juergens carries the emotional weight of that across the entire runtime without it ever feeling performative. It’s genuinely extraordinary work. The studio did extensive research with neuroscientists and people with lived experience of psychosis to get the portrayal right, and that care shows. The game won multiple awards including that BAFTA for Juergens specifically, which for a relatively small independent project going up against major studio productions says everything about how seriously Ninja Theory took the material. Visually it remains stunning. The art direction and facial capture work set a standard that games with ten times the budget haven’t consistently cleared since. Runs great on Steam Deck on lower settings, one particularly brutal rain soaked level aside. Worth the battery drain either way.

2/3 Tech Demo, 1/3 Game The audio and visual presentation are excellent. As a game, it feels surprisingly shallow. You mostly walk through a beautiful world, solving a handful of simple, occasionally odd puzzles. That's about it. Reviewers who praise the game design never played a game before, obviously. The combat: It's so bad that it almost deserves to be experienced firsthand. I played on the easiest difficulty and still died repeatedly—not because it was challenging, but because the character often felt unresponsive. At times, it seemed like my inputs barely mattered. Turn off your monitor and unplug your controller, and you might not perform much worse. I uninstalled it. For me, it was a waste of time, money, and disk space. Ironically, the best part of this "game" is its trailer. Removed Hellblade 2 from my wishlist.

The game is a metaphor for grief, and uses this as an excuse to hide behind for every single bad choice it makes. The story is very patchy and never fully commits to being a norse myth questline or a grief symbolization. Puzzles are straight up horrible, tiring, and bothersome. Combat is extremely limited and repetitive. Overall it's unbelievably pretentious. Sound and visual design is great tho

I can't really think of anything that you could improve about this game. It's a dense 8 hour experience with a fantastic story, well-designed gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and haunting music. Also a huge leap forward for the industry in sound design. Hellblade is a perfect game.

9 таблеток від психозу з 10. Гра переплітається з кіно, сюжет затягує, тримає в напрузі. Візуал просто шедевральний, на останній місії особливо(навіть попри те, що та місія чомусь в мене видавала тільки 30 фпс це надало кіношності). Бойовка дуже зайшла хоч і дещо простенька. Можливо іноді надто затягнуті кат сцени, але терпимо. Взагальному бомба!

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una auténtica obra de arte. La historia de Senua es profunda, emocionante y está acompañada por una atmósfera única que logra sumergirte por completo en su mundo. Los gráficos, el diseño de sonido binaural y la dirección artística son simplemente espectaculares, mientras que los combates y los puzles complementan perfectamente la experiencia. Es un juego inolvidable que demuestra cómo los videojuegos pueden contar historias de una forma extraordinaria. ¡100% recomendado!

Esse jogo, é ótimo, graficos bons, roteiro bom, o jogo mostra o quanto que o amor motiva as pessoas, não parando de lutar até alcançar seus objetivos
