Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

2017 Ninja Theory

From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness. Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
HORROR CENTRALITY
85 /100

Hellblade's core experience centers on psychological horror—voices, visions, and the protagonist's vulnerability—as the primary driver of gameplay and emotion. While combat and exploration are present, dread and mental torment shape how players feel and act, making horror central rather than incidental.
