Understand the disease.
Hellblade is a difficult game not because of the mechanics, but because of the problem it shows.
A mental problem that rarely arises in games, and when it is less exploited, it is completely different here.
The game begins when we get to know one of several voices that will accompany the heroine throughout the game. It is these whispers and strange monologues that make the game so interesting.
Throughout the game, we will be accompanied by various voices that will explain something to us, but also laugh at us or despise us.
During the game, we will also meet the so-called darkness several times, which the heroine is most afraid of, it is the darkness that is the key element of the game here.
The game often consciously breaks the fourth wall by looking directly at the "camera" or turning to the player. The problem of psychosis is presented here in such a way as to present an interesting plot.
Note later there are spoilers that reveal the plot, but it's hard to describe the game without a few important spoilers.
The game takes place in the eighth century, we meet a young girl, Senue, as the only one who survived the Viking invasion, and at the same time struggling with the "gift" that sits in her head.
Senua has a task to free the souls of his beloved who unfortunately died, only he can do by defeating Hele the Norse Goddess associated with death.
Senua goes on a rather strange journey, we get to know her when her voice describes the events and the heroine herself reaches the dark island.
Senua will be constantly put to various trials and will have to defeat many opponents bim will fight Hela and the darkness.
The longer Senua will follow the path, we as players will find out where this "gift" comes from. Young Senua at the age of five sees the macabre death of her mother, which was made by her father because she had a "gift" affected by the "gift" and how they feel deprived of help from everywhere (in those days)
Despite the fact that the story is fictional, the characters are extremely credible in how they try to act out depression, psychosis or schizophrenia.
This is one of those games that show people with disorders as such, who also want to live in society, despite their "gift". Strong game and probably the period of the world and Nordic beliefs is best suited here than the modern world.
The story of a trip to an important psyche to try to understand the surrounding world and to come to terms with fate.
The only person Senue considered special was her boyfriend who was killed by the Viking slaughter, she killed internally and began her adventure with the head of her beloved.
She often talks to her voices, and often the voices advise her on how to go. Looking at various reviews, I thought it would be a poor Tomb Raider game.
I was wrong when I managed to complete the game, the game teaches people humility towards sick people, showing their problem and showing how they live every day trying to soften their "gift" I recommend to play now the game is in gamepass Xbox in the cloud you can play even on an older device.
The game is outstanding despite the fact that the little-known studio created it, it was a perfect move because they created it as they wanted, without embellishing without candy stories
