Okay, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is this newly released action/horror/narrative driven game, developed by Ninja Theory, where you play a female celtic badass warrior fighting for the soul of her dead lover.

She is a non-sexualized character, whose build is based on a real life muscular woman body type, and someone who is traumatized through her life as a warrior and thus mentally ill. (The game has been developed/created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, to ensure a sensitive/accurate portrayal of it) Which means most, if not all, of the game takes actually place in her mind only. However, it is left ambivalent how much of what you see is “real” and what just takes place in her mind.)

It is creative, different and varied game in a graphically beautiful bleak/nightmarish norse waking dream world setting, with a theme rarely explored in gaming (if ever), featuring a traumatized female protagonist/warrior that is multi-faceted and struggling, but not portrayed as a “victim of her mind.”

So ofc you have whiny pissbabies crawling out of the deep ass end of their cave, screaming “historically inaccurate” out of the top of their hypocritical lungs:

And now excuse me. I have to buy 50 copies, simply out of spite.

I wanted this game the very moment I knew it existed. These “reviews” just make me want it all the more.
