Forums - Gaming Discussion - Hellblade: A Beautiful Hell

Watching that making of video, I saw a sexy Senua model. Wondering if I could unlock it, I came across something interesting...

Still havnt completed the game yet, just finished the forth trail for the sword fragments. I'm away now from home for 4 days doing a bit of travelling so it won't be till the weekend till I carry on Senuas journey.
However, at this point in the game, even after playing Gravity rush 2 and Horizon ZD, that this game rates as high as them for me and is already a contender for GOTY for me. I've never been so sucked into a game and immersed into the atmosphere and protagonist like this this generation.

Add me if you want but let me know youre from this website

I'll get it eventually. Too much of a backlog right now, but it looks promising.



I'm right there with you guys. Won't say where I am because I don't want to spoil the game for anyone else but my expectations have been blown away. I think I'm almost done. Should finish it some time today. I don't want to overhype the game, though.

This is one of the, if not the, single most beautiful looking games I've ever played. There's usually never a lot going on in the backgrounds. No crumbling buildings or crazy physics or much interactivity but the world always feels alive.

The character models and their animation are a sight to behold and have to be seen to be believed. In my opinion, ever since Heavenly Sword, Ninja Theory has been amongst the best in the business when it comes to character models and facial expressions and with this game, I think they've taken the crown. In terms of details, I think Senua is in a class by herself.

Gameplay consists mostly of walking and looking. Can't recommend it to everyone. Then, there's the combat. Spectacular to look at and really engaging but really forgiving. Repetitive, too.

The draw of the game is the emotions it creates. The views you see. The things it does to your mind. This one was a pleasant surprise.

8/10 for now, unless the ending pushed it over the top.

 I knew you'd be the one to post about this game I'm glad to hear it's getting good scores, it's astounding. I thought it was too much for potential reviewers 2 score or even understand personally. I mean this is a very ambitious project and I'm glad Ninja Theory was able to get through it. I hope this means a sequel and two and a half to three million in sales or more

 

 I won't be able to play it for some time but I expect it to do extremely well but I hope better for it

You know me too well!

 

I was driving earlier when I posted but I'm home now. I'll say this: Itwasn't on purpose but I think I've purchased and loved every game Ninja Theory has ever made. In my opinion, they're almost always amongst the industry's best when it comes to graphics.

 

As for this game, what can I say that hasn't been said. The game looks stunning. I'm only a couple of hours in and I can't stop taking screenshots. This may be in my top five games when it comes to visual presentation. The audio is spectacular and keeps me on edge and creeped out. The gameplay is simple but engaging. Unless things take a terrible turn or it becomes super repetitive, I can't recommend this game enough. 

Yeah, so far, it's been a one of kind experiences, fellas. It proves that you don't need a huge AAA budget to pull this sort of thing off. Who knows? Maybe it'll bring back the AA market, to some extent!

 I agree 100%  old friend it would be nice to see double A games come back.  it'd be nice to see budgets for games go down they just keep getting bigger.  hopefully this game will show big budgets don't always equal make great games

The way the combat works and the way the game punishes you is what puts me off wanting to buy it.

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Combat is the only thing I actually kinda liked about the game - mostly for the feints - well, at least for the whole hour or so before I uninstalled it. Other then that, all the linearity, psychosis and "puzzles" bored me to death.



The game looks like a solid package. I have seen alot of it without actaully playing it. I am tempted to pick it up in a sale. I want to see this thing in 4k glory



This game is inspiring me to do a write up on games as Think Pieces...

^ ^ Yep, and it's because she's about as "human" as it's ever been.

 

 

It makes sense that they would nail crazy first before looking like a normal person :) It's nice to see teeth that don't immediatly look creepy.
