RenegadeRocks Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Don't miss this. One hell of an experience, unlike any other. Take a bow Ninja Theory ! just wow ! It's about psychosis, fears, delusions and what ppl go through. But is wrapped in a great story and experience . Had a friend once who is no more and went thru similar stuff. Got first hand experience of what he might have been through. And it is terrifying. :( all that aside, it is a unmissable experience. Hours after finishing it I am still overwhelmed and discussing it with my wife and family. The game really achieved its goals and then some ! Took me around 9 hours to finish. And dont worry about the message about death at the begining. Its part of the experience. Edited August 9, 2017 by RenegadeRocks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gautam Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 The more I read about this game, the more interested I get. Seems good value for money as well. Might just get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Money well spent, I'm taking my own time to finish. The uniqueness about this game isn't the combat but the lore and atmosphere all around. Cool exposition on Norse mythology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3D_D3ViL Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I can't believe I am saying this but boy this game deserves to be played just for its Audio. The game demands a good headphone and the auditory experience is unlike anything I have ever had. The binaural audio tech being used creates this chilling and creepy effect where there are voices everywhere in your head - left, right, front, back - EVERYWHERE!!! The fabulous voice acting just adds to the experience. There are probably 5-6 entities, that constantly speaks, some being sympathetic, some fearful, some sarcastic and they constantly comment on what you do during the gameplay. This is heightened to the effect that it will make you constantly doubt if what you are doing or where you are going is right or wrong. After about 4 hrs of play, i think I am still hearing voices. Just to add - the Norse mythology/lore with its gritty setting is simply superb. I think I will probably dig this more than the OTT Norse setting of the upcoming GoW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 This game is getting a lot of praise but few people still thinks that this is just another small indie game because of 30$ price and relatively short campaign.

The Batman Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Just finished the game on the second run. Pros Excellent Audio Excellent performance Excellent Voice acting Beautiful & haunting visuals Attention to detail Very good Lore Good story Satisfying combat Nice pacing Value for money Unique experience Cons Game breaking bug at the end in Hellheim +/- Could have been lengthier (perhaps Sony wants Kratos to kill all nine heims Gods). However, the current length is alright. Enjoyed my first playthrough in one sitting taking my own time to proceed. Took about 9 hrs. 2nd playthrough was about 6 hrs Edited August 15, 2017 by The Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEMAN Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wow, game is really punishing on hardware, I struggle to maintain 4k maxed at 60fps, it dips to 40-50fps sometimes. Really Unique game. Now make Heavenly sword 2 for PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeraltOfRivia Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hellblade sold better than Ninja Theory's expectations Quote I think it’s almost broken even, or it’s about to break even in the next couple of weeks. I’d have to check. We weren’t expecting to break even for six, eight, nine months on this game. It looks like within three months, it will have broken even and then some. Of course, because we self-published it, it’s the first time we’re getting the bulk of the money back, which is amazing. We own the IP this time. It’s opened up a bunch of doors and possibilities that we just didn’t have until this point. In terms of a model, I’d say it is a success. - Tameem Antoniades, Creative Director, Ninja Theoryhttps://venturebeat.com/2017/10/22/game-boss-interview-tameem-antoniades-journey-into-madness-with-hellblade/view-all/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
