Inner Demons

















Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was in interesting attempt at showing what someone with psychosis goes through. The graphics were amazing, that screen shot above is not just a wallpaper, that's how good the main character Senua actually looked in-game. The story was very good too, delving into Norse and Celtic culture as well as Senua's struggle with a mental disorder in an age when such things were usually blamed on evil spirits and the like. My only problem was the game mechanics were very repetitive, you basically fought the same thing and solved the same kind of puzzles through the whole story. I also think they should have had an easy mode. Some of the fights were very hard and very long, which I feel would turn off people who just want to enjoy the story.
