Opponents that have been knocked down are not completely defenseless however, as they can fight back to be released
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a dark fantasy action-adventure video game developed and published by Ninja Theory. Self-described as an "independent AAA game", it was developed by a team of approximately twenty developers lead by Tameem Antoniades. It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 on August 8, 2017.
Inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, Hellblade follows Senua, a female Pict warrior who must make her way to Helheim by defeating otherworldly entities and facing their challenges, in order to rescue the soul of her dead lover from the goddess Hela. In parallel, the game acts as a metaphor for the character's struggle with psychosis, as Senua, who suffers from the condition but believes it to be a curse, is haunted by an entity known as the "Darkness", voices in her head known as "Furies", and memories from her past. To properly represent psychosis, developers worked closely with neuroscientists, mental health specialists, and people suffering from the condition.
The game blends several genres, including hack and slash, puzzle solving, and psychological horror. Voice acting is an integral part of the game, while its cutscenes combine performance capture by Juergens, and live action performances by other actors. Hellblade was a commercial success and was well received by critics, who praised it as a work of art and applauded its uncommon choice of revolving around psychosis, the quality and uniqueness of its approach of the condition, and its story and main character. Its overall presentation, along with Juergens' performance, were also considered superior in quality to what independent games usually provide, although reception of its gameplay and other non-artistic elements received some criticism.
