Melina Juergens’ portrayal of Senua is superb throughout, as she accurately demonstrates what it’s like to lose control of one’s faculties. The game uses an effective and disturbing whisper system to repeatedly mess with Senua’s head.
Senua wades into the underbelly of a hellish landscape inspired by Norse mythology to retrieve the soul of her dead partner. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice has the lavish look of a big budget game, but Ninja Theory’s dark and stirring game about one woman’s descent into madness is, in fact, an indie game. But its mechanics, lore, and subtle depth make it feel decidedly modern the further and further you dive into its dungeons. Its top-down, pixelated aesthetic makes it feel as if you’re playing a retro game. Instead of revamping everything when you die, though, all of the rooms remain intact, but the items, enemies, and coordinates of each room changes through random generation. Created by Dodge Roll and published by Devolver Digital, Enter the Gungeon is one of the best in the crowded genre. The relationship between Amicia and Hugo is what shines the brightest, though.Įnter the Gungeon has the fast play of a bullet hell shooter sandwiched inside a rogue-like progression system. They will eat Amicia and Hugo alive if you don’t stay in the light.Ī Plague Tale‘s uncertainty and the historical backdrop make for a compelling adventure. The puzzles are largely designed around plague-ridden rats, thousands of them. A Plague Tale is ostensibly a stealth game, with most of your movement revolving around sneaking past Inquisition soldiers who are searching for the siblings. You play as Amicia, a young woman who guides her younger brother Hugo across rural France to look for a cure for his mysterious ailments. Set in 14th-century France, A Plague Tale: Innocence gets its power from its well-designed atmosphere.
