Hellblade Review
I finished Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.. it's one of the most, if not the most, wild, brutal and sad games I've ever played. Hellblade was both an extremely painful and a very unforgettable experience. The puzzles gave you time to let the bleak and hopeless atmosphere soak in. the game gave me a deeper view into how painful guilt, loneliness, and mental illness is.. the way Senua struggles with the anxiety, emotional pain, and isolation from both her illness and the stigma surrounding it felt strangely similar to my own struggles with severe depression and anxiety. The entire atmosphere and gameplay does an awesome job of replicating that feeling, and seeing her struggle through her own journey, only to come out the other side with the ability to accept herself and move on was both painful, and uplifting at the same time. I honestly bawled for a good 10 minutes after the credits rolled because to be honest it hit very close to home for me
