Eric Johnson I honestly kinda liked the voices at times. While annoying at times, their constant commentary made it feel like I wasn't alone when wandering around in the dark areas of the game. That is, until they start telling Senua that everything is her fault.

It’s 2020 and I had never heard of this game. I got it on the game pass because of her face. My sister had DID and psychosis so this hit home. I felt like I was her and got to experience what it’s like to be her. Thank you everyone that was involved in this game . I don’t have the words really just thank you.

I love what Ninja Theory has done with "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice." They've created more than a video game. They've prepared the way to understand complex subjects like mental illness that have been long stigmatized through visual representation. This is totally revolutionary and I love it! The game is incredible! You have to play it to believe it!

Wow, now that I understand her problem, this game's story is actually really depressing.

I really think that Senua is an interesting character. She's also very iconic looking. Slim and young without looking like a caricature, she looks and sounds like a real person. Her fanart is going to be amazing.

So true. I'm glad that there's people in this world who are smart enough to understand these things. "The illness comes not from the symptoms but from the stigma, isolation and mistreatment that comes about from the rest of society." This resonates with me on so many levels. It's amazing to have people do this, make this game and spread the word/knowledge about the thigs that are so harshly judged and ignorantly dealt with and yet that cause so much pain in our society. Great job. There's still hope for our species.

What a deeply moving and such a powerfully meaningful game you've created. It's beautiful, elegant and in a sense revolutionary. The amount of research and consultations with mental health professionals, psychologists, university professors, researchers, patients that went into this game is incredible. The respect you care for your subject matter - psychosis and mental illness is everything. I think you've definitely opened up the narrative of mental illness and psychosis to a younger generation of audience and gamers. Opening up their understanding and ability to empathize with mental illness in a way that is so immersive. This is a game that will probably redefine how future games should be benchmark on in terms of merging science, medicine, psychology, psychoanalysis with art, creativity/originality with excitement and fun.

One of the best games of all times, a real work of research has been led there, a courageous team who delved into a deep subject in a respectable scientific manner, a real masterpiece. Those are the games that we really need, games that will make you have a journey into new areas of thought.

Next to Half-Life 2, this is by far, the greatest game I have ever played. This experience moved me. I was a teacher of the handicapped for almost 20 years and dealt with issues like Senua's on a daily basis. This is by far the best representation of psychosis I believe anyone will understand.

the graphics is amazing for this game, the close shots of Senua; they really capture Melina perfectly.

I'm here in 2019 because Hellblade 2 was just announced the other week. I finished a walkthrough of the game on KZread and was a little confused about the game, so I came to watch this. What I discovered is that I watched more than a game being played, I watched what is real life for some people. I'm glad that this video was made and explains the mental illness side of Hellblade and the things that Senua goes through. I am extremely looking forward for Hellblade 2 and hope that expounds even further upon the subject of mental illness than Hellblade 1 did. Thank you again

vaatividya is that you? Lol I really enjoyed this. It shows how the game was made and how difficult it is to get a understanding of psychosis. I'm really inspired by this game and I hope to see more like this. I'm tired of playing Overwatch or any other shooter with no story.

I like the gentle voice in her head, which whispers during final fights. I have strong suspicion of who this voice belongs, but I will not reveal it, because I don´t want to spread any spoilers. Honestly this final part almost brought tears into my eyes. Hellblade is strongly original game of its own and I would recommend it just to anybody, even if its a little scary. It is one of the best games I have ever played. Additionally I like fighting mechanics very much.

I suffer mental illnes, such as psychosis, YES, I am dignosed Schizoaffektiv, wich means when I get deppresed, I see and hear what you don't see, most of it from hell and heaven. I will play this game on Twitch under medication, so I don't floating away, I will try to say my view of it, and to this girl, woman and whatever you are, I hope both you and me stop suffer someday, I admire you.

This game was so MAD that I called my friend to come over and experience it together, we played the whole game in one day and enjoyed a lot. I get why some ppl call it a bad game mainly because of the gameplay and their approach toward game progression, but this game is a highly story focused adventure with some super creative narrations that just blow my mind throughout the game. So apart from what's in this video, this game is an achievement in the story telling and I can't believe they managed to pull it off. The way the dive deep into the story and put story puzzles together is a MUST for anyone that enjoys good storytelling. And god I LOVE SENUA. She's soooo good and innocent. You care for her, and you fight for her **SPOILERS** **Spoilers** (I decreased the difficulty to fight for her and change the ending so hard, I never was so invested to make a happy ending for a game character) I am so sorry Senua, I wish I could bring him back, I tried, I really tried and you know it T_T )

Hey It's Jay and your a real piece of work if you think that people are only entitled to giving a good review. Not everyone is gonna like the same shit as you do. Dont like it tough fucking shit kido.

This is not a common game. This is mentall illness simulator with a great story. Truly masterpiece

The best game i have probably ever played!!! and i have been a gamer since 1978, i have seen it all trust me. this is more than a game and needs to be in a genre of its own. stunning hd, played on high end PC graphics, and stunning story! i am not kidding when i was emotional playing this game and the ending! man was in tears nearly, amazing, stunning, another level, but must add this is no game for a shoot em up and fast paste gamer's, this is for realists and major graphic heads,and a true story that has actual history and truths, not all obviously but true research which i love, its gritty, meaty, and very deep, again stunning! i only wish i could be involved with games like this and work with people who desire perfection, my kind of human :). All i can say if your ready for a journey, go meet Senua. she will get in your head :) Truly best game ive played!!!!!!!! Respect to all involved creating this master piece. J.A.Sherlock

Power to Ninja Theory for passionately trying to tackle a subject I don't think I've seen explored with such in-depth fervor before. Kudos.

As someone working in the mental health field, while the game itself takes some liberties in what would be an utterly unheard of extreme case of psychosis, it is nonetheless refreshing to see it played pretty straight and with clear painstaking attention taken to make it at least attempted to be in line with research. I wasn't a fan of Ninja Theory after the abortion that was the DMC reboot, but got to give them major props for this, honestly really cool to see and an interesting and well crafted game to boot.

It was nice to not be worried about loot the entire time and just be able to experience a story with some rad puzzles and combat

this is not an ordinary game, it's experience with deep, multi-level story, I loved it. Ninja Theory provided again. Great Job!

I have GAD, and personally it is draining and depressing to deal with. I salute to those who has to deal with this everyday in their daily lives, I can only imagine. Hoping the illness eases and leaves you with nothing but peace.

10:05 - while mentioning voices they depicted it with Eumenides chasing Orestes. Clever.

That was amazing! I never realized that. I thought she was actually in Helheim lol. I find it surprising though they don't talk about the historical significance this game offers. They could have easily set her in our modern day world but instead they choose the Celtic Picts and the Viking invasions. I've always loved studying the history of these cultures and I'm so glad they went this route. It allows us to see ancient and early medieval cultures in a new way :).

Senua is amazing, beautiful, brave and unrelenting. Her psychosis is her weapon against this "normal" world of barbarism. Of course its still a terrible illness, but, maybe, sometimes, it can be a shield and a sword against the evils of sanity.

This is a great video and i think more games should do things like this to get the word out to help those of us who don't know what living with these illness is like.

too bad the guy that made this video clearly dosnt know shit about it. The Blood Eagle was not a method of sacrifice. It was a method of revenge.

Thanks for this video and the game. It was an unforgetable experience. I wont pretend like I feel related to Senua's character. She's special or maybe not, but we all are special in our own way. I guess I do relate to her. I guess we all do. We all see the world in a different way. Some more than others I guess... but Anyway... I have to say... I just finished this video and started to cry. Like something cracked inside me. Even now, while I write this same comment, I feel like Im about to cry again. I dont know why, I dont know what to say about it, I dont know what to believe... but somehow I feel good it did happen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game :) The voices, the story, the grief, the research put into it... I felt so sorry for her. Great job 👍👍

Hats off to you Ninja theory team for all your efforts in making this absolutely stunning and deep impacting game. After a long time, to be precise after HEAVY RAIN game, i played such a game which forced you to think about the pain and trauma some ill person faced and i really feel sympathetic to them. Keep doing the good work and keep throwing new scenerious and different gameplay on today’s gamers.

This game means so much to me. Thank you, Ninja Theory

I want to stop by and say how incredible, invoking, beautiful, dark, twisted , moving, mysterious, simple, complex game this is. Thank you ninja theory thank you !

Thanks for posting this. The in-game feature doesn't let you rewind and I found myself missing important parts.

Did anyone notice that we just got this game from proffessional doctors and developers to heal our psychotic world as much as they can? ^^ Brilliant.

Beautiful, and informative. Thank you.

Nice documentary and great initiative

This game will absolutely fuck your mind sideways when playing it in one go. After 3h of voices in your head your mind will experience indefinite horror.

I know this game is a year old but I think im going to go get it. I have family members who have battled mental illness and it not an easy thing to witness not being able to control all these thoughts and feelings. I commend this group of game makers.

I am impressed with how accurate it is portraying psychosis. I have had multiple it was like I was having another.

Just finished this game...ahhh...I loved it so much...such a beautiful game...everything about it...hate that it ended😢

amazing game! I love the story. I have it on PC, good job on making the game.

Very few video games change the way I feel about the world. Kudos to Ninja Theory, hell of a game.

Amazing. True work of art.

Poor woman :(

I await with much anticipation, Senua's Saga!

Mad respect for Ninja theory for making this game ❤️

This game was truly beautiful, I myself had an affinity to the game previously and played it and I was blown away. A year or two later I experienced psychosis myself.

At 11:30 you can see what seems like an alternate model (her eyes have more highlights, her pupils are bigger and her face looks softer) I wish they used that one instead

I just got done playing this game. My good lord... it's so good. I will recommend this game to anyone I come across.

This game induced a deep and profound love for a fictional character in me. I am palpably leveled... and a sequel can’t come soon enough.

Friend do I have news for you 😁.

Strong emotional feeling in this game. Amazing interpretation job by Melina Juergens (Senua). Everything is perfect.

I felt helpless and weak during the fights, even though it was on easy mode, yet it terrified me. The voices were discouraging and scary in so many ways and yet sometimes helpful, I was as determined as Senua to find Dillion, it was honestly all so intimidating that it had my hands shaking and left me holding my breath during the fights, I've never experienced something like this before, absolutely amazing. One of the best things was the part where you had to look for the runes!! It was so creative, the rune stones who told the story of the gods and the difference perspective mask thing that changed the world around you were really new and fantastic! This game terrified me, blow my mind and took my breath away, so creative! And I started playing it after I saw the Hellblade 2 trailer, I'm a huge fan of Heilung and after I saw and heard Senua scream and chant along with them, I just had to get this game!

Amazing video! Inspires me to create

The game came late into 2017 but I think this might have replaced all the possible GOTY I have in mind. The immersion this game brings to the player is just on another level. That's what games are for, right? Immersion.

I haven't played the game but I have so much respect for the developers! This work is so important for gaming history.

Originally, due to the stigma of Ninja Theory and DmC, i initially dismissed the game, thinking that they didn't put much care or thought into this. Seeing this video however, the people involved & the effort they went to in order to present such an experience...... perhaps I'll reconsider getting this game.

I think Ninja Theory had been working outside of its element until Hellblade. Whether or not you see this as 2deep4u shit, or a one-of-a-kind game, you can't deny that they really, really wanted to do this game justice. Now imagine if they put that same effort into respecting Devil May Cry.

Is it bad that I went as far to try and see if the runes had any correlation with the story??

One of the best games of this year.Developers should be encouraged for their courage and innovative approach.

part about visual psychosis is like taking LSD

This is a well and good documentary about how this game was explained about the mental illness of what is real....

Whoever in the devs came up with the idea they should get LaPlegua to do the music diserves a huge medal.

Just completed this gem. I got so invested in it, that it is really haunting me all the time.

this video in the game makes it whole.

This is terrifying, and fascinating

My favorite game. Amazing, world shattering, crazy, all of it!

Woah man...just amazing....!

Just finished today,OMG so good. Favorite game of all time.

losin my mind is so terryfying for me since ive experienced some things but it havnt been out of control

I absolutely love it

Interesting.

This game is an experience like never before!

Reminds me so much of Dante's Inferno. I love this game!

This was an awesome game. X3 Both my cousin and I loved to play it. The only problem was we would get headaches while playing it so we'd have to take breaks. I think it was the way the camera moved. I dunno. Still a great game. Valravn was my favourite. :)

An experience, much more than a game. I feel like it should almost be an obligatory course at schools, to help some humans understand other humans.

The game made me to think really about her life it's really deppress I can't forget the darkness it made me shit of my pants I didn't sleep for days but I love the game thank you Ninja Theory

What is the background music starting from 19:40?

Seeing this makes me feel a little less weird o.O as a person who personally has to deal with voices etc on a daily basis i really connected to the game and character, i found myself relating alot and it was hard for me to play through but at the same time it helped me feel less weird knowing that my experience through life is normal and others suffer also.

18:24 is that, like, DMC Nero's sword?

I'm not a gamer and I played the whole game. Incredibly deep message oriented story line.

Hey, Ninja Theory: The Blood Eagle wasn't about sacrifice, it was for vengeance.

finished the game with headset. gotta say it's the best asmr game ever.

Could I have a name of the song used at 12:00? I tried Shazaming but I can't find it tyvm

This is way too brutal. A it painful to watch. To explore your own mind when these realities exist for someone else.

This game induced psycosis on me and I heard voices for a couple days after finishing it

I learned about psychosis and Norse mythology at the same time 🤯

I think Hellblade 2 is gonna be about her avenging Dillion by killing those Vikings who murdered him. Now that she know she aren't curse at all she will probably turned to her normal self and revenge his death.. This time she will be fighting real people instead of her inner demon probably she will works with the Roman to fight the North Men.. Hellblade: Senua's Revenge, I'm calling the title now :D

And yet she was not different to me. I understood her pain 2010% and I understood her struggle and journey. Because I would to go to the depths of hel to get my loved one back. But I would not lose, for I know darkness like no other.
