shit me. I thought Hellblade was going to just be a walking sim with some puzzles and a bit of fighting. Which it is... I didn't expect the rest though.
I've had to put the controller down and take my headphones off and just.. decompress.. after some sections.
Edit: Well, finished Hellblade. Phew. It's nice to play a shortish game that tells a complete story. To some extent it felt a bit like a far more gritty and 'realistic' version of that old Dante's Inferno game. The story pulls on a lot of threads at once, and I definitely missed a few bits because the audio, while mixed incredibly well is very hushed and really only suitable for headphones. There is also a bit of padding towards the end, which starts to drag a little. Otherwise bravo, up there in my 'things I really liked this year'.
