For me personally this is game of the decade, not because of the good graphics, gameplay, or story. But because this game is a proof that video games are much more than what everyone thinks, it's not just for fun or a waste of time. This game alone with all the research and depiction Ninja theory put in it has helped us all on a personal level. So I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation to what Ninja Theory have done here.
@@davidludwig7501 Gaming since the 80’s and only just come across this stunning game. Ninja Theory’s on point with the mental health and psychosis in this game 10/10 👏👏👏
"Never forget what it is like to see the world as a child, Senua. Where every autumn leaf is a work of art, every rolling cloud a moving picture; everyday a new story. We too emerge from this magic, like a wave from the ocean, only to return back to the sea. Do not mourn the waves, the leaves and the clouds. Because even in darkness the wonder and beauty of the world never leaves. It's always there, just waiting to be seen again." This music will always remind me of these words
Hassan Sadiq this is NOT just a game it's a work of art like no other. Calling this game just another game is an understatement this game is like no other.
In support of World Mental Health Day, which is observed each year on October 10, Ninja Theory is donating all proceeds from today's sales of its most recent release, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, to charity. I say GOTY contender Go buy this game
Jacob Or your comment is racist and also it clearly determines main heros gender (Senua-female), this is inappropriate in 2017 please delete your comment asap
Afterimage I'm just giving facts I'm not racist or sexist if that's whet you mean by women VS male and I just give my opinion at the end where is say GOTY contender it's facts!
I suffer badly with depression and even though I don't have the issues Senua has, I feel completely at home when I play this game. I would had gladly paid them 60 bucks for it.
remember always .. that even if you didn't see we are here .. just for sticking through this disease you bacame a hero .. a hero that has a tail that will never be forgotten.. it's hard I know.. continue this story of yours and be the warmth of thousands who hears about you .. remember you are a hero .. your soul is precious and you're beautiful for becoming what you are now ..
This game deserves all the accolades it has recieved and more. Its a fantastic game that looks great, plays well and has an interesting concept behind it. And there is no microtransactions, season passes or DLC involved. You get the complete package for $30, this are the types of games that need to be supported.
As a player of this magnificent game, I understood her immense menthal struggle. It was a memorable tough journey. Now that I saw this trailer and red the messages sent by fans, I burst out crying... Truly heartbreaking messages. No one deserve to go through this. Hope you guys can help each other out.
While playing this game I had to pause a few times because it was so emotional, and I know exactly how senua felt. I too was diagnosed with schitzoprenia and depression a along with anxiety. I haven't completed the game yet, but I will. Its a masterpiece and should be game of the year.
The best part about this trailer is that there isn't a single "IGN rating: 10/10" anywhere. The part that makes me cry is all the messages that were sent to Ninja Theory. This is why Hellblade is and always will be my all-time favorite game. I'm going to go play it for the dozenth time now.
That was beautiful. I was going to wait to pick this came up on sale as I just have so much else keeping me busy, but given you all are donating the funds for today's (10/10) sales to help a very worthy cause I think you have changed my mind. Congrats on an awesome job to the whole Ninja Theory team and anyone who helped make or supported this game.
I stand by what I said in my live stream. This game is a sincere 10/10. Yes it has some simple mechanics but you know what. They weren't bad mechanics, they worked and felt responsive all throughout. Ninja Theory you did good with this game and to this day your game is number 1 on my top 10 games of the year and definitely in my top 100 of all time.
I understand the physical thing. But this game stands for something. Showing AAA that AAA titles can be made without them. Others would sell this DL copy for full retail price like everything out on the market right not. This is $30! It's GOLD for that price! Simply a good game. So all I can say is support good things. Or get used to Loot boxes and $60 incomplete titles.
No doubt, It is a masterpiece where each scene itself can be exhibited in a gallery. It's also making people realize how heavy psychosis can be. BUT there is another more important layer to this game after all. It's a game about any of us. We all have our missions. We all hear "voices" that tell us "you can do it", "you will fail". We all face fears or "demons" that paralyse us. We all encounter tests. We all sometimes feel horrified or blessed. Sometimes left alone in the dark. We all have different viewing angles. It's inherited with life. The game's director, at the end of extra content, says he was puzzled how to present a psychotic character in a convincing way for healthy people. In the end, he realised the question was wrongly stated. We all are psychotic and that is why we are unique. That's why there is progress in the world, that's why there is a depth in any of us. Acknowledging this moves the game from great entertainment with an educational objective to a personal learning project about how to fully appreciate our lives. How to follow our hearts, how to conquer fears, how to trust ourselves. In the end, we all learn how to open up new paths in life and appreciate all the moments. I literally lack the words to express the awe I am in.
I know very little about this game. I watched this video and instantly bought it. If a trailer can evoke that much emotion from me I have to see what this has to offer.
You made me cry Ninja Theory...I broke down while being in my job place and now I'm dealing with an awful life I never asked for...I don't have the nerve to do something that will end it all. I even dreamed a dream when in the dream itself I had to choose if I want to die or stay alive. I actually chose to live. I never understood why in my subconscious want to live and after waking up from that dream I remember i cried so much ny eyes burned. I fight with my self because in real life I don't want to but in the back of my head apparently I do. My family through me out and I live with my grandma after my parents didn't want me to live with them anymore. I can't work because of anxiety. I cut myself twice this year, but no one seems to care about my condition getting worse. So I do not care too. Those treatments worth nothing. I asked for help myself, but the only help I got is a free psychologist asking once a week how am I feeling. Any one can ask how I feel today!!!! That is not HELP. there's no actual help. Sorry to ruin for u guys. If you got mental sickness in the middle of your life, for no visible reason, you're fucked. I read once that "a person who decided in his mind to die, WILL eventually do it". so I'm asking- when will I get that stupid nerve to do what is needed?
This is easily my game of the year! I preordered and bought it digitally. I never buy games digitally, let alone preorder them. This game was flawless. Thank you everyone. I hope this game gets into other peoples hands. I am still hoping for a physical release.
A true masterpiece! The last time a game made me cry for so much with my emotions was in Ocarina of Time. The acting actress Melina was something spectacular, I felt her pain, her agony. Certainly a game to get into the story.
It's not just about mental illness, it's about everyone, about our lives, about our soul, about loss and hope. The greatest game, Ninja Theory has performed a real feat.
thank you for this game, for me its one of most important games of all time, like metal gear solid, last of us, spec ops the line i don't have shizophrenia, but suffer from depression and i think this game understands me, and helps me a lot
Amazing trailer :D Hoping Ninja Theory considers a physical release. If it comes with a booklet will some of these quotes even better. This game can't be lost in the digital.
Of all the games I've played over the years, this one was BY FAR the most impressive to me! Not in graphics or technology but in the actual impression it left on me.
The best game I have ever played. Hands down. No other game gave me, and others, an actual door to understanding others and enriched our lives. I cannot fathom how the sequel could be better. Who else have we left behind, that we need to see from behind their eyes?
As someone who suffers from psychosis this game is helping my partner to understand what it is like for me dealing with the voices I have and other things - Thankyou
No other media comes even close from Okami to What the golf, from Deus Ex to Spec Ops to Frostpunk to Nier automata and all linear games they all explore human instincts in ways no other medium can & thus games are the ultimate form of art.
I'm not a sentimental person but these messages made me cry. Hellblade is an underrated masterpiece, God bless all the people around all over the world.
This was beautiful.. I was waiting to buy this game later this Year. But now I got so intrigued! Is the expierence as good as this trailer makes me believe?
Watched this trailer on steam, after reading all those comments from people this game helped, I just had to go and buy it to support your great work, if it helped just 1 person it still is worth it
Thank you so much Ninja Theory. You are what video game makers should be. I cannot describe the emotions this made me feel. I will forever love and respect your team for what you have done. Thank you so much.
Hellblade proves how games can tell a story and portray a character better than any book or movie. It's the most immersive story telling medium. Calling a masterpiece like this a "game" doesn't seem right. It is SO much more.
There’s a quote I’ve heard before and it kinda goes like this. “Only a warrior can go through a dark world in their mind and fight it long enough to come out on top.” I forgot how it goes. There’s another one that has the usage of strong language, it goes like this, “Only a warrior feels fear, but says F*** it”. I need to get this game when I get me a PS4 Pro.
Not even 80k have seen this. What a shame. Will be remembered for a long time and on many top lists for years to come. Truly remarkable and touching trailer. Thank you ninja theory
I'll be honest the puzzles got a bit much for me in this game but getting to the end, seeing the whole message, it's amazing what ninja theory has done. A message to all dealing with various mental illnesses in my eyes granted I never really understood psychosis and schizophrenia till this game and to those of you out there who deal with the conditions daily I hope this game gives those around a better understanding to hopefully help you all cope better if they don't already.
Watching this video is what made me get the game. I was not disappointed! It did so well not only showing how I deal with my own darkness but made me feel powerful. Senua is so inspiring - she's brave in the face of terrible fear, compassionate in the face of cruelty, strong in the face of being beaten down again and again. She's beautiful and wonderful and I loved being a part of her.
now this is how you make a goddamn accolades trailer.
Its not a simple game, its an experience about mental illness...ALL that i can say is: Thank You for this masterpiece, really.
For me personally this is game of the decade, not because of the good graphics, gameplay, or story.

I suffer badly with depression and even though I don't have the issues Senua has, I feel completely at home when I play this game. I would had gladly paid them 60 bucks for it.
It's mental how good this game is.
Speedy Gonzalez its mental how pretentious and terrible in every way this game is
MovieNerd_EP exactly my thoughts, whats so "mental" about a walking simulator slash sterile combat simulator?
I see what you did there!
@@quasarone3083 Wow. Way to completely miss the point of everything this game was trying to get across.
VaVe DeRn i get what its trying to get across, im just saying its doing at bad job at it

This is so powerful, transcends gaming as a medium.
Please come out with a physical release of this game. I need to play it!
Ice Dragon same i need hard a physical game :/
might sound lame but I haven't played it yet only because there's no physical version out yet
It’s the only reason I’ve been holding off of the game basically, being hopeful there will possibly be a limited run kinda thing.
Ice Dragon just buy it digitally o_O
Manuel Koegler exactly. As a game collector I'd rather have the physical game. This game has potential for a physical release.
It's good to see fan statements not prideful critics on an accolades trailer.
Nice to see something positive come from gaming

I love this game
Six years later, and this song, this video, and all the words from the these people, going no less deep than back then six years ago.
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying... I'm totally crying 😭
“I suffer from high anxiety and others suffer even more… but the mental health community became a little bit stronger since Senua joined…”
This game was awesome. I've finished it 3 times. I'm having a good time playing it.
I understand the physical thing.

Can you consider yourself a member of the gamer community at all if you dont at least respect and support this game?

OkayI really love this game but what is that ESRB font at the beginning?
When did that happen? It’s so weird
Will there be a second game? Possibly a movie from this? It was that good!!!
Great game, I hope they end up releasing physical copies, so I can put this on the top of my game collection.
Qui porra é essa?
