> Senua is the protagonist, a Celtic warrior traumatized by a Viking invasion. The game's titular hell is the manifestation of her mental illness, Ninja Theory explains, and the game will "see the world through Senua's eyes, and in doing so, address a s subject that is still considered taboo."
> Ninja Theory says the independent development of Hellblade allows them "the freedom to tackle a subject as challenging as mental health," and promises the portrayal will be "both accurate and sensitive."
> To that end, the development team has been working with a professor of neuroscience as well as consulting "directly with people who have experience of mental health difficulties." They note that Hellblade is supported by Wellcome Trust, a charitable foundation committed to greater public understanding of science and health.
You make a video game to battle public perception of mental health, and kill the social stigma surrounding it, yet you make the main character a woman? Despite the fact that women in society are generally allowed to be nutcases? How it's men that are stigmatized from birth against giving in to mental illness?
Way to fuckin' go. Could've delivered a strong message, but the call to "make strong womyn characters" was too great.

The interviews have to be like that to placate the media. Read what happens or play the whole thing, she spends 90% of the game in the middle of a violent psychotic break.

Dreadlocks are something anyone with enough hair can get just by having shit hygene. It's only a hair style when it's intentional.

Well she's not really a strong womyn, she's batshit insane, irrational, terrified and weak, she can fight but you'll also see her rolling on the floor screaming and sobbing.

I watched the entire game on Twitch last night because I kept thinking it was almost over. The graphics and audio are beautiful but the gameplay is dogshit. Repetitive nonpuzzles followed by beautiful stroll followed by monotonous combat. Voice acting really makes it playable, the story is semi engaging but it seems like they threw it out the window at the end to try too hard to be "different."
This article is evidence of that.
