Developed by Ninja Theory, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was first released for PlayStation 4 and Windows in August 2017, before making its way to Xbox One in April 2018, the Nintendo Switch in April 2019, and later to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, the game follows Senua, a Pict warrior suffering from severe psychosis. Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, the game is as much an artistic statement as it is a piece of interactive entertainment.

The game's combat system is also worth mentioning, with a focus on strategy and timing. Players must use Senua's abilities and the environment to overcome her enemies, making for a challenging and rewarding experience.
