Ninja Theory's Helblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is Something to Look Forward To
Helblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a 3rd person hack
and slash RPG that was developed by Ninja Theory and was released in the 8th
of August 2017. The story revolves around its protagonist Senua, a woman who
has to undergo many physical and psychological trials as she travels across
Helheim to reach the dwelling place of Hella, the goddess of death. In her
journey, she will encounter a series of puzzles and will have to defeat wave
after wave of large-sized enemies with the hope of making a bargain to Hella to
resurrect the love of her life, Dillion, who had died before the events of the
game took place.
The game has a dark, misty Celtic and Nordic style theme.
Along the game, the player will encounter a series of standing stones that can
be activated after which a narrator will tell bits and pieces of the game’slore which is strikingly similar to that of the Norse mythology.
The visuals of the game are stunning and detailed, as the
game was made using the Unreal Engine, which means PC users may do well to have
a more powerful hardware in order to run the game as smooth as possible. The sound is also amazing. The ambient sound
effects immerse the player deep in the game and the game features authentic
sounding Viking folk music in the combat BGM that definitely suits well with
the theme.
