Senua's Saga: Hellblade II for Xbox Series X|S / Windows 10

What is Hellblade?

In 2017 a little game called Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice received much praise for its take on mental health issues. The game’s eponymous protagonist, Senua, is a Viking warrior who suffers of psychosis, due to several traumatic events in her life. All of the game is seen through her eyes, so the player experiences her mental issues, visions, warped realities and so on. Many things may only be going on in Senua’s head, but they are very real to her. By battling enemies and her demons, and by solving puzzles, Senua undertook a journey that led her to a relative wellness and stable health.

What is new in Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II?

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II takes place not long after the ending of the first game. Senua has come to terms with the worst of her psychosis but still has a lot of problems going on in her mind, in addition to some very real flesh-and-blood enemies. The narrative structure in Senua’s Saga has remained very similar to the first game, while the gameplay has been simplified and now you will face a single enemy one on one. The already excellent technical specs from the first game have been further improved, bringing Senua’s visuals to a level seldom seen before.

A feast for the eyes and ears

The first thing anyone will notice about Senua’s Saga is how incredibly detailed the worlds and characters are. If there is a game that deserves to be played on a large, high-quality screen, it is certainly Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. Still, the most noteworthy feature of the game is its binaural audio. Experiencing Senua’s journey wearing headphones is practically a must, so players can be immersed in the incessant monologue of her inner voices, almost hearing them in their own heads. This is a very immersive game and it should be experienced in the most sensorial way possible. That’s also the reason it’s recommended to play Senua’s Saga with a gamepad, the rumble will add another layer to the immersiveness.

You can make this journey both on Xbox and Windows

The reason we mention the gamepad is that when buying this game online at Gamecardsdirect you can play it both on the Xbox Series X|S and any PC with Windows 10 or newer. Console gamers will use a controller by default, but Windows gamers could choose to use mouse and keyboard instead. It’s of course possible, but it would detract from the total experience.
