Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice comes to us from Ninja Theory, who also made Heavenly Sword. I expect their next game to be called Limbo Katana. It's a story about a Celtic woman fighting imaginary Northmen, so of course it has a lot of sins.

"I have to admit, the visual design of Hel is legitimately unsettling" *adds sin* lol wut?
Welcome to GameSins
I don't know if I should add or remove a sin - adds a sin
@@MAURICIO201113 more than likely it was an oversight.
Yeah, at this point I feel like this channel is like one of those kids who like to bitch about everything to make themselves look cool
Am I the only idiot who keep on fighting for 45 minutes fighting the last boss thinking that I could win?
I did fight a long time
the voices said give up so i listened lol
@@brullsker971 your comment is irrelevant bevause he beat the game befor posting his comment.
@@goatmandy9787 I didn't even hear the voices, except for the 'Behind you Senua!' or 'Don't get suronded.' I was so focused on fighting and listening to the amazing soundtrack.
Nw, so did I 😂 that i real shit got cramps in my thumbs 😂
The spinner logo of the game is actually a Celtic symbol called a Triskele. It has had many meanings like Life-death-rebirth, the 3 realms of the Celtic world, etc... The earliest one found dates back to the neolithic....
Still looks like a fidget spinner lmao.
I don't agree with the comment 'she could just go over the bridge but she keeps finding obstacles.' That is how mental illnesses work. For example, getting out of bed is something we all do but to some people its exceptionally hard because their brain won't stop. Symbolically, walking over the bridge is difficult for some.
"Have to admit, the level design for Hel was genuinely unsettling."
Adds a sin.
Are we sinning good level design because it looks like you're sinning a good level design?
cuz dat sock him so....
4:00 i figured the northmen were the hallucinations you fight. Not hard to believe she'd see them as monsters considering her past.
hadn't thought of that... nice
That's true.
Exactly! If he would remove all the hallucinations it would be a game about a batshit crazy woman who kills hundreds of confused Northmen. ;)
Not about a woman walking in an empty land.
@@peterszebeni8582 the Northmen had it coming tbh
"To pad the length the devs added lorestones that recite Norse mythology that has no connection to the plot" every single lorestone sequence teaches Senua a lesson about her own Darkness and mental illness, including accepting the death of Dillion and how sometimes we allow fear to haunt us forever. Each one is intended to help develop Senua and Druth's characters
I'd have to defend the marriage thing. It's not uncommon to Schizophrenia to fully develop in later stages of life, usual age for "enlightenment" is c.a. 20 y/o. In society like this, it's possible to step into marriage earlier, so Senua's Father could be unaware of his wife mental state, as the symptoms could not appear before.
Exactly, I too thought of that when he added the sin. The video’s pretty bad if you ask me.
Yep, average age of first psychotic break for women with schizophrenia is late 20s/early 30s. With this is mind, it’s perfectly reasonable that Senua’s father would be completely unaware of Senua’s mother’s illness to well after they were wed.
Game about mental illness and psychosis
>Sins the game for having the player experience her hallucinations
>Sins the game for having "schizophrenic" episodes...
i know this is a very old comment but he clearly sins the game repeatedly for the context of the hallucinations, he even mentions the schizophrenic episodes at the start were quite accurate or at least related to actual experiences, what he sins is the depiction of the hallucinations in a way that is beyond what a human mind can hallucinate, same for the schizophrenic episodes which he doesnt sin for having but sins for literally having consistently. He even references his god damn fathers Schizophrenia to explain the point
I'd say clever mind game for the "Clearing save data with to many failures" because they did announce they added that in to make you more paranoid
Yeah even though your game actually doesn’t reset, so this guy doesn’t know what he is even rating. He even said that Hel has an uncomfortable setting - ITS HELHEIM.
@@LiftYagami Apparently the Norse realm of the dead where people relive the traumas of their lives and confront their inner demons isn't supposed to be unsettling
I guess you didn't actually understand the concept and story.
exactly.
Do u understand a joke
I feel he did, but some of the sins were based of subjective views and opinions on the experiences of people with mental illness. While a lot of the others were quite obviously jokes made false, purposely to add sins. The biggest "sin" in this video is his inability to comprehend how others could experience symptoms differently even if it's the same mental illness.
Jeez, I wrote way too much
@@hereticslayer7612 Arent jokes supposed to be funny?
(James Franco in a noose looking at the guy next to him) First time watching a Dartigan video, huh?
Playing this game with really good headphones man those whispers man
"If you remove the hallucinations, and all of the mechanics that go with it, this game is just a woman walking across a bridge." Correct. If you take away the core of the game, all the gameplay and all the storytelling, it's just... Not a game. Great video.
When you find out the twist the game feels meaningless and pointless
if you take the gameplay, and the relation ship god of war is just a dad and son roadtrip
the point he is trying to make is the game solely relies on the characters mental illness being her obstacle, which is fine except you take into account later him pointing out that the impact of her mental illness is being stretched far beyond its limit to justify the barriers put in front of her. Its very difficult for a game to present the struggles as logically consistent when its put itself in a position where every single literal issue the player character comes across must be tied to the mental instability of the character especially for a concept as involved as human hallucinations. As he said later this game relies on the main character basically never ever having a proper lucid moment throughout the entire thing which is just very unlikely to say the least.
Now of course you can say its a game its supposed to be out there and exaggerate certain struggles but 1)this is literally the core concept of the game and 2)the channel itself is game sins, the whole point of the sins genre is to be a mixture of unnecessary nitpicks/genuine commentary framed for comedic effect.
@@almondandfriends
There are people that have best friends that live with them, go out with them, even sleep with them that dont exist in reality. Even when the person gets help and understands that the "friend" is not real, they can still see them everywhere. They go through their whole life having to learn to ignore that "friend."
I will admit that a case like Senua wouldnt be able to function at any capacity on her own. But it is possible to be as gone as she is. Sometimes they never become lucid. Besides, this whole game took place in only a couple hours.
I worked in a nursing home as a volunteer in my teens. My grandmother was there too. You'd be surprised how far the mind can go when you are abandoned and left to your own mental conditions.
@@almondandfriends Half of the game is spent lucidly walking among the remains of her civilisation brutally suspended in trees... nothing has been stretched beyond any limit, mental illness and trauma may just not work in the logical way you expect it to..
The moment when she was talking to the mirror and you figure out that the maleficent voice was her own self doubts all along, demonized to the edge - I would take away a sin for that.
Your dad suffered schizophrenia in an age where it was treated instead of accused of possession/witchcraft.
Yes, her episodes lasted ridiculous amounts of time.
The reason the game "takes liberties" is because it's not necessarily one massive hallucination. She IS being attacked by Northmen. Etc. not necessarily everything that happens is her hallucinating. That's up to the gamer to decide and interpret for themselves. As for your connection to your father, there are varying degrees of psychosis-we're meant to believe Senua's is very deeply engrained, and was made worse from watching her lover be sacrificed by the Vikings.
"I don't know if I should add a sin for a stupid mechanic or remove one for a clever mind game."
Adds one immediately.
I think you get caught up in adding sins to the counter and forget you're supposed to be adding sins to the counter for sins. Not just because you finished a sentence.
One of the best story games i've ever played. Will never have an experience like the first time i played through. The fights were fun, the story was intense, the feelings conveyed were incredible. Don't let the stretch for "sins" put you off, the game is a masterpiece in storytelling.
You know most videos like these are intentionally nitpicking right? Either way, high amount of sins doesn’t mean a game is bad, just like a low amount of sins doesn’t mean a game is good.
@@MayHugger yeah im with ya, unfortunately some fools take these things way to seriously. I mean, game/cinema sins aren't trying to be real critics, they're comedy/entertainment, and usually it's a complement to sin a game. Bad games generally dont get sinned because its just too easy, but the occasional times they do, it can be pretty good. But it's similars to comedians having roasts.
But one of the best parts of game/cinema sins is messing with the butthurt fanboys who take thing way to seriously. Generally, I'll rile them up even more, because it's kinda fun ngl. Some people need to go outside and touch grass.
Well, I really liked this game. I thought the combat was great and intense (coming from someone who loved Bloodborne). I played the game with headphones and I found the voices had a really cool effect and depth.... I really hope this game does well enough to have a sequel or another game like this!!
rafael lopez I actually do not want a sequel. This game was one of my favorite games this year and I don't want it bogged down by unnecessary sequels
wellp sequel incoming
@@OBSDCC7 I used to think the same but the trailer send shivers down my spine, one more is fine.
@arka arquena it's coming this year, is called "Senua's saga: Hellblade ll". Check out the trailer it looks pretty awesome
sorry to say it but after watching this, I feel you didn't understand what this game was aiming for
I think he is trolling
@@nmueluzua not trolling, he just don't understand how games work most of the time and then adds a sin mindlessly.
Agree
@@arsalansyed123 no,just he doesnt seen much thing to sin about this game
This is probably one of the worst ones you've ever done. Most of these aren't even sinworthy, and it feels like you're aiming for a hard and contentious target to be "edgy."
GFCat look whos taiking furry...
cassidy o'hara oh shit we got a roast master up in here...
The game sucked. Only SJWs are the ones bitching about how a game about mental illness cant be sinned.
@@demonintellect9834 why u disliked a game?
@@demonintellect9834 there are literally zero identity politics in this game...
People. Psychosis can mean ANYTHING. Various mental health illnesses can CAUSE psychosis. Schizophrenia is not the only mental illness that can cause psychosis. Illnesses like bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, drugs and even sleep deprivation can cause psychosis. The fact that she sees and hears things is irrelevant because THIS IS WHAT PSYCHOSIS IS. Psychosis does not automatically equal schizophrenia, OK? I understand that this is due to the lack of proper education on mental illnesses, but this really annoys me.
There are also various UA-cam videos of individuals recounting their experience with psychosis and MANY of them did not have schizophrenia. I've gone through psychosis myself and I do not have schizophrenia; I have bipolar and if my mania is bad, I see things that aren't there and hear things that aren't there. If my depression is bad, same thing. The world looks visually contorted and surreal.
Look at paintings of Vincent van Gogh (who had bipolar disorder). The odd visual distortions are a great example of how your perception can go off.
Also, this is a video game. They are obliviously going to exaggerate. Seriously.
Percy thank you
Percy
he doesn’t even mention that they actually talked to people who had some types of illnesses like that, to better portray it for her.
Your love for this game and the studio behind it just shines throughout the whole review. : > SO pleasant to watch.
>video still predicts 3rd game title to be Purgatory Saber
>description now predicts 3rd game title to be Limbo Kitana
Ok
Sure looks like something written by someone with split personality syndrome.
If you notice the protagonist of both games I would say that the next sword holder will be a blonde woman.
Most of these sins are incredibly petty and show a lack of understanding.
my god.... dont you understand this video is taking the piss of cinema sins?
@@dr_pepper_but_with_no_pepp702 I can see dozens and dozens of same concept videos on this channel. Not my kind of entertainment. The narrator sounds like a petty wiseass leaving out the good things about Hellblade. Which dominate upon a couple of less fortunate details. Hence the like/dislike ratio we can observe.
@@outdatedTV You’re taking a satirical video too seriously. Whenever he covers a bigger game this usually happens. The is just some guy nitpicking random shit. It’s not a genuine in depth analysis. The people who click on these videos don’t understand that and take everything he says seriously even if it’s clearly a joke.
You show a lack of understanding
You must be new on this channel 😂
Horizon: ASMR Dawn
mariokarter13 they're *basically* the same game right? They both have.....um, clothes, and braides, and people
The protagonists are pretty damn similar, give or take a bit of schizophrenia.
mariokarter13 yeah but one of they has good gameplay and better story.
you clearly did not play the game!
That’s like saying Link from Zelda is the same as Green Arrow. So shallow and stupid.
At least this proves Dartigan really wants to be correct and accurate with his sin videos.
DJcaged yeah, his goal is to be funny, not stupid, and I'm grateful
DJcaged What do you mean?
dirk tiggly Sometimes fans get upset over little details and nitpicks so I guess he wanted to be as accurate as possible and realised he made a mistake
DJcaged Oh. What was the mistake?
dirk tiggly He thought that dark, male voice was Andy Serkis and based MANY sins on this. That voice is, in fact, Steven Hartley.
This counter argument contains spoilers.
These fall into three categories:
1. would be a sin, if you weren't wrong.
2. not a sin even if you're right.
3. an actual sin
Note: Sin implies an inarguably negative trait. Tropes and cliches are not inherently sins. They are tools to build stories, and how they're executed and used determines if a product is good or bad, not whether or not they are used at all.
1-Enslaved: Odessy to the West
2-Celtic Triskelion, Senua's Celtic
3-Didn't want to mention the story, characters, acting, secret mechanics? Didn't think so. But yeah, the cutscenes are also impressive.
4-They aren't breaking the fourth wall. You are playing one of the voices/personalities in Senua's head. She's not impervious to dying, she's just not in real danger.
5-Not a sin, just good sound direction.
6-I think it's a long intro, too. So... 1 sin. Congratz.
7-11- B-b-b-bullshit. Also, while Senua's behavior is not rational, it is understandable.
12-Darkness is a code word for "mental illness". My significant other suffers from bi-polar mood swings and also refers to her depressive episodes as "dark places". It's apparently a common way to refer to that side of one's mental health.
13-Not a sin. You just literally related to the protagonist.
14-If you think it has no connection to the plot, you aren't paying any attention. It also doesn't pad the length as you can ignore them. Like the story with the Sword Gram, Druth's stories all relate to Senua. Be it not everyone mourning for a fallen hero, or Ragnarok.
15-Yeah. That's the point. We are not just trying to get to Point B, we are traipsing around through Senua's mind more than the island.
16-Not a sin. This is the first game where FMV has felt appropriate to me. These spectres represent real people that Senua has met through her life. They are both real actors, and real people in the story.
17-I agree, this was a good attempt to communicate a common symptom of psychosis, but the execution was fairly poor. 2 real sins, you're on a roll!
18-While easy I found the combat enjoyable when I discovered hidden mechanics, as well as when the game introduced focus in combat, and new enemies.
19-Throughout the game, the voices promise that Senua will die, repeatedly. They aren't trying to be subtle with this. Senua wants to die, but is barely pressing on.
20-So you add a sin anyway. This is the best irrational fear that they put in the game, and I've seen people freak out about dying too much. Ultimately it doesn't affect the game, just how you play it.
21-See #15.
22-There are only three sets of puzzles with the gates, not a dozen. Maybe they aren't real, or maybe they are real and just have significant cultural value.
23-Not a sin, just an inversion of a game mechanic trope that is still effective.
24-Literary references aren't a sin, they're culture.
25-Still not a sin. Different symbol though.
26-Still not paying attention to the game, huh? Doesn't happen that often, most cutscenes are intricately directed and not categorizable.
27-We will often remember things involuntarily, in this case Senua's memories are uncontrollably being recited by her voices. Clever, not a sin.
28-You took a way a sin, well done!
27-See #18.
28-That's what you've been told by Senua and Druth, two non-norsemen. This may not be a burial ground, it may not be used anymore, it may only be used for certain funerals and not on a daily basis.
29-Not a sin. And there are two big talking heads that I remember, both Galena's.
30-See #21
31-This is a continuation of #30, not a separate sin.
32-She gets up, she's not dead there.
33-Andy Serkis is expensive, and Steven Hartley did a fantastic job. Why don't you hire Harrison Ford to narrate your videos?
34-Bear with me here, but "Soul" and "Home" do not rhyme.
35-Did you watch the cutscene, he hits her with the weapon. Luckily neither he nor the weapon are real, so it doesn't do any real damage. How are you supposed to do this if it's a well written game, you ask? Maybe you shouldn't. No one is forcing you to riff games. Also See #30.
36-The scene is in her head just as much as the weather is. If Senua thinks something bad is about to happen, it'll rain and get dark. These things are the same, not separate.
37-The bridge did not break, she was knocked off. The sword might have broken in the fall.
38-Not a sin.
39-Was your father put in a hole for hours or days as a child? Was his village destroyed and wife brutally executed? Was he blamed for every stroke of badluck or illness? My little brother suffered from psychosis, and initially it was constant auditory and olfactory hallucinations (ie smelling dead bodies, and thinking our parents were trying to poison his tea). Admittedly complex visual hallucinations are rare, but this is ultimately a 7-8 hour long episode. It's not like we see Senua sleep or anything.
40-Indeed women would not have become warriors. However, these people did not think Senua was mentally ill, just that she could commune with the dead.
41-43- If you want to complain about too many XYZ you can't give a tally for each one. That's just being desperate to get your number higher.
44-We don't know if these stories are genuine, or figments of Senua's mind. It doesn't really matter. For all we know, this is the sword we thought broken in #37. Now let's try to listen to what Senua said: I need this sword, it's important. This is the core dellusion and her mind grabs a mythical sword story (there are plenty) to fill in the details.
45-The sword has at least double the strength. Also these four trials are ALL DIFFERENT including an alternate worlds puzzle, blind puzzle where you rely greatly on your hearing, a chase maze, and a labyrinth. The only puzzle up to this point were the match the symbol puzzles.
46-Senua was leaving her birth village, and traveling to Dilliion's separate village. Zynbel is telling Senua that she is going to be a threat to Dillion. After spending time with Dillion, Senua THEN goes into the wilds because she thought she caused the plague and that her father might have been right!
47-You're angry at the game for giving you lots of cool puzzles? Get bent. If these were the same puzzle over and over you'd complain about that too.
48-The loading screen is hidden before the animation starts. You're seeing a glitch.
49-Short beards are easy to keep when your village has access to KNIVES. Look, his beard isn't trimmed, it's short but messy.
50-It took you 20min to solve this one? hah! You missed the point if you were stumbling around. The point is to use the binaural sound to figure out where you should be going or avoiding. This is a novel idea, at least I have not seen it in a video game before.
51-You're blaming a dead person, and completely missing the point yet again. The point here is to unconditionally trust people who are genuinely trying to help you. To someone with psychosis, following a sane person's advice can feel like a terrible idea, but you have to do it!
52-The entire game is meant to feel claustrophobic, like you're a passenger on Senua. Stop inflating your numbers.
53-Again, possibly her old sword, and she cauterized her wound with an unbroken sword. Or maybe it's a stick, who knows.
54-Does what it says on the tin.
55-This is basically a fever dream. Also you repeated another sin.
56-It's pretty fucking empowering after the puzzles with no sword.
57-Gave a sin for something you liked?
58-Sounded like a hellish voice in a hellish landscape. Also, Senua's father, the demon voice, created this hell inside her.
59-Those shadows weren't guarded by a Darkness Monster.
60-Aw, poor boy, have a pitty sin: 3
61-Perhaps these ruins have not been used in a long time and fell into disrepair. That explains why we don't see any vikings 'round here.
62-I agree, this was poorly done. Sins up to 4!
63-64-That's not a warthog, it's more like a hyena, with fully articulated legs, and a bigger front. Traditional boss fights are "damage sponges" now. I guess the time-to-kill on bosses should be comparable to COD. Also inflating numbers because you're desperate.
65-See #4. Inflating numbers by repeating the same sin.
66-With the upgraded sword, you cut through them like butter.
67-Repeat.
68-OK, I asked myself this too. The answer is based on a bad assumption, that Zynbel knew they were sick or mentally ill or even cursed. In Celtish culture, mentally ill people were thought to be communing with a higher plane of existence. Thus, peacful mentally ill people could live in their society. They thought Galena could talk to their ancestors. After marrying her, Zynbel felt this was a curse, not a blessing, and tried to torture the "Darkness" out of both Galena, and Senua. The reason why Zynbel killed Galena is said explicitly: Galena defied Zynbel, and he killed her for it. Senua says "It's not the god's will, it's your's". Why didn't Zynbel kill Senua when she defied him? Because she had a fucking sword.
69-Impact and thoughtful writing. Now a sin!
70-Repeating the same Sin.
71-Surtr was a Fire Giant, not a God. Fjallraven is not a real mythological figure that I can find, possibly not a God, at least not with a capital G. Hela is the daughter of Loki, however. High blood.
72-Boss rush. It happens in some games to show how powerful you've grown.
73-Celts had tattoo technology. It doesn't look like a particularly skillful tattoo.
74-I agree, I think this scene would have been better if Hela stabbed herself. Six whole sins.
75-76-Still not fourth wall. Also, ending on "I have more stories to tell" is a satisfying finale. The point being that Senua will live on with her mental health problems instead of giving up. Padding numbers.
"It's all in good fun/Not meant to be taken seriously" - Many people see these Game and Movie Sin videos as reviews, and many people (who otherwise would) will not get to enjoy this game.
Its nice that you analyzed every single sin of his, but you misunderstand. These videos are more for comedy/entertainment than an actual review. Don't take anything in this video too seriously. The game was good.
They did a poor job
Thank you for posting this! I have respect for maker of this video, but... its so bad, and ignorant. Someone had to put him down, and i am thankfull you did.
Well tbh i usually like "Everything wrong with" vids, but they usually point out what is wrong with the game / movie
A beautiful annihilation of a shitty review (comedic review, but a review nonetheless) full of ignorance and stupidity. "The thing that was supposed to be really unsettling was really unsettling! One sin point!"
Hey, to be honest, Purgatory Saber sounds super badass.
Sounds like one of those 3.99 2D 16-bit games they sell in the store for an easy platinum.
needs a new video - Everything wrong with Everything wrong with Hellblade : Senua's sacrifice. :D A lot of this is nitpicks, a lot of this is just giving out sins for good things, a lot of it is sinning one thing over and over again and a lot of it the player not understanding the game's story and what things mean...
Yup, that's Cinema sins for ya
flimsyshow he also “sinned” the game for the character having mental illnesses and her hearing voices.
Crafter Gamer He was being ironical. There is this thing, that some people use, you might've heard of it, called "jokes". No? I thought so.
@@adaptorperish1322 he was either trolling or he's a complete idiot. Shit video anyways. And I'mm nit even a HYPER fan
@@docboy989 dcmmt cầy :)))
lol Trying to hard on this one
I vote you do The Observer!!!!
Love the video and I like the fact you re check the videos to make sure it's accurate!!!
Have a great day
8:38 Do it, Dartigan! Just do it! Dont let your sins be sins!
Makes me realise how good this game is by seeing how hard you tried to sin and how poor the sins actually are
c mon boy not all of the sin is wrong just most of them is just he mqking joke some of them impress him so his sin it
Ah, i knew you´d tackle this one sooner or later. Let the judgement begin!
Also, at 10:38, i never noticed the tattoo. Good observation! You must do Observer next, you´ll have one hell of a time with that game.
"my dads episodes only lasted a few hours?" Congratz.. thats because of medication. im pretty sure they didnt have antipsychotics back in those times -_- Episodes untreated can last days or weeks or even years.. I have had a patient that has been in a psychosis for the past 13 years. and he will never get out of it anymore.
Did his father saw his lover as a blood eagle, and all who ever meet, killed? After that, I think even a normal person could sink into a pretty bad mental state.
if a game does things differently like this game, labeling it as a bad thing is what causes the boring, same-y nature of modern day video games
being different shouldnt come at the sacrifice of fun
James O'Neill Good thing this game is different and fun then!
James O'Neill
This game is fun, intense, uncomfortable (on purpose), and teaches you an important lesson on mental health; also it teaches you Norse lore
Can you imagine how much hiring Andy Serkis would have cost? You have to keep in mind that they didn’t have a huge budget at all.
Hi Dart. I'd say you either didn't get or didn't want to get one thing about this game ( I take the latter into consideration, because your job would have been pretty hard if you would have included that:) Apart from the very ending all of this is happening in Senua's head. Her already damaged psyche cracked when she lost her lover to a viking raid. Remembering the stories Druth told her about the norse gods, she imagined herself going onto a rescue mission to resurrect Dillion. ( In celtic religion the soul of a person is inside his/her head. That's why taking Dillion's head with her was so important to her.) It was all one big hallucination with some flashbacks thrown into the mix until through some almost-miracle she got over Dillion's death and snapped out of it to throw his head into the sea.
I respect this game too much to let this video pass
This was an amazing experience!
You mention the classical era then Roman Britain as the game's historical period/place. Your'e like at least 400 years late. Viking Age brah, Viking Age. We're like in the mid-9th century.
Briton... Celtic Britons... Not Britain.
I'm surprised Dartigan didn't sin how historically inaccurate the buildings and Norsemen looked, whilst you can explain it with it all just being how Senua imagined it to look, the giant stone structures and people with horse skulls for masks did not look any thing like real Vikings. Plus Garm was supposed to be a giant evil dog covered in blood, not a zombie warthog.
Gertrud Bondesson
The Vikings are supposed to look like Monsters, not accurate Vikings
I will admit, I haven't played this game yet because I suffer from schizophrenia and I found that the portrayal of voices in media to set off my own at times, though after this video (oddly enough) I might buy it for the switch. Also, going over a bridge for a non mentally ill person may be easy, and I can only speak for myself here, going over that bridge is extremely difficult most days when you have voices telling you it's impossible and paranoia that makes me believe the bridge will collapse under the weight I carry on my shoulders at all times, so I'll add a sin for a (albeit, understandable) lack of understanding, but remove that sin because of your own experiences with schizophrenia in your family, though you may or may not experience psychotic symptoms of your own, cheers mate!! Love your videos!!
There is a Celtic Goddess named Senuna (alternate spelling Senua is attributed to her). A shrine to her was unearthed in 2006 and little is known about her. My head canon would have made your job harder still. I like to think of Senua from the game as essentially the first chapter in her rise to Godhood. (Goddesshood?) combine her "curse" and trauma with mysticism and maybe a dash of ritual botanical ingestion---there are tons of directions the narrative could be taken which enrich the experience beyond "it was all hallucination."
I really hope Taneem Antoniades and the rest of the team drew some bit of inspiration from that discovery, even if only the name. perhaps wishful thinking.
Like I said Head canon.
Can't wait to see where they take the sequel.
oh and I may be repeating something from one of the other critical comments (I get the series is comedy, and the sinny-ness is all pretty subjective, and I am one of those rabid fans who mostly agrees with a lot of the critique in the comments---I take things with a grain of salt and wanna play nice) the game nor the devs truly specify her mental illness, or the severity. Yet another way they leave the door wide open for interpretation. The experience begs of us at every turn to suspend disbelief.
I for one believe this a step in the evolution of the medium, and how it interacts with narrative.
Dam I love these videos you the Man.
Actually I was really convinced Senua died in the final cutscene. First because it triggered after she died as the darkness had reached her shoulder, and second because Twitch chat kept saying GAME OVER.
Ive seen literally all of dartigans videos. But I don't think i ever saw this one 🤣
In addition to the circle pans, how Dillion's skull was never endangered until the end of the game idk...
In addition, the voices were never quiet for 60 seconds and the mo-cap of Senua's face always looking like she was ready to bite into a piece of uncooked meat would be another thought.
Lol her overbite was always distracting for sure
Someone should make a ''Everything wrong with Everything Wrong videos''. In this particular video, he's asking why didn't they hire the other actor instead of the one they hired. How's that a sin, I'm so lost.
damn. Sorry about your dad mate. hope hes doing somewhat fine
Genuine enjoyed this game, first one I actually sat down and played to completion in years
the hell landscape is so beautiful.
The distorted voice was kinda fun.
Clearly, they had to prolong the game by copy-pasting simple repetitive combat and puzzles. I'd actually beat it twice, or thrice, would it be simpler and shorter, but repetitiveness always bothers me.
I remember watching most of the dev vlogs. Eventhough it might not look like it, but I had an impression this game didn't receive big budget for its size. And they had to come up with a lot of stuff and improvise a lot, even redesign one of their rooms to repurpose it for mocap.
Truly creative work, that earns very hard to come by these days respect and admiration.
I've been playing games for like a dozen years, and never, not a single time playing a game was so difficult emotionally and I'm not being impressed easily.
I get sleep paralysis a few times a week. You do get used to they terrifying aspects of it. I make sure to set an alarm realy loud to jolt me out of it with adrenaline.
i know it takes a while BUT MAKE MORE DAMN VIDEOS
I BINGED WATCHED THEM THEYRE SO GREAT AND RELATABLE
sorry i just love your content keep it up
1:24 "North mythology that has no connection to the plot". Yuppers. That's the stupidest thing i've heard regarding to Hellblade's critique. Because loretone stories progress alongside Senua's madness, becoming more personal. It was brilliant tool, used by devs.
I believed he was Andy Serkis too.
A game that talks about psychiatric disorders played me into believing the voice of Steven Hartley was the one of Andy Serkis, just supposed on the long partnership between Ninja Theory and him xD
A MASTERPIECE !
Dartigan, I admire you reuploaded it after either catching the mistake or it being brought to your attention. Sucks people have to be so nitpicky that you would need to correct yourself. Regardless of your mistake your videos are always professional and well made. I look forward to ever upload! Best of luck!
Gideonite Productions Saying that Andy Serkis played a character, and basing 20% of the sins on this, when he didn't is a pretty big mistake.
I'm just surprised that Troy Baker isn't in here somehow.
Love how you say it sucks that people have to be nitpicky when these videos ARE nitpicking. XD
I only found two that were not Dartigan just rambling because this game is very difficult to pick holes in as he said many times. But ONLY 5 sins for making you job harder?!
i watch all your videos and i don't really care about everything u say, youre just so funny. please make more
"When a game holds back until the very end to drop an F-bomb, you just know that they were holding their fire until that exact moment."
Yes... that is the point. That is literally the entire point. There is no sin. You are making an observation.
You wanted MORE of the terrible puzzles? Good lord... I would love a version that had 0 obtuse puzzles where you have to find the patterns in the tree branches.... What a terrible game that I seriously tried to like. I cannot believe this is getting a big budget sequel.
Wait, white paint directing you DOWN and not up?!, this truly is madness
Dude...I just picked this up on the recent psn sale. Really enjoying it. It is a fantastically atmospheric adventure. Creepy ...its not for everyone but I'm thankful games like this exist. Hit the bong and get lost in this incredible mythological experience. Its worth the journey!!
🙄you don’t need drugs to enjoy shit
@@Sarah-qx4vz absolutely agree, but it does enhance some activities.... Believe me
Wait how did you make your voice like that 8:37??
He sold his soul to Abaddon and became a revenant, duh
D O O T ?
It's a nice way to learn a bit about Norse mythology
My mother suffered from a psychosis, which aggravated over the years. Those were not episodes.
Typo at 10:29
"Well, you previous sword killed two gods"
And finally a new dart vid!
I didn't think that the fights were hallucinating I think they didn't appear until senua sees them close enough to be a threat I believe see did take revenge on the north men like druth said and in the end you have to let go as the platinum trophy says "done"
Tried to see this video earlier but it was taken down. Can someone explain that?
Christopher Townsel Read the description.
I want a sequel.
From what I gather it wasnt her mother that had the "curse". It was actually her father who gave it to her. I thought that was pretty obvious to me.
7:34 As long as Magic isn't involved that is, then all bets are off.
5:24 you got it right there so take of all sins^^
well maybe except the circling camera
Melina's voice acting removes all of these "sins" in my eyes, though this video was surprisingly humoruos at times
This video is a completely missed point of the entire game.
You know he just trolling and stuff
@@nmueluzua his tone contradicts it.
next game: Crematory Dagger: ASMR salvation
Fun video, but this game is a masterpiece. Also, I imagine the circles pans and closeness of the camera is meant to feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic for the theme of the game, more wide pan shots would go against the theme of the game and feel too spacious.
Also yesyesyes Observer PLEASE!
Observer is truly underrated so I hope he does a video on it
At 8:39 is it me or did it sound like you some how stole the Arkham Knight's voice filter? Don't get me wrong, it was super cool, but I can't ignore the similarity.
Wow andy serkis didn't voice anyone, had me fooled.
I think they refered to psychosis not schyzophrenia
Do Observer next.
6:04 that shouldn't be marked as a sin because we don't know the time frame of the game or when she is and isn't hallucinating.
Imo I loved the fight vs valraven was probably the most fun I had in that game
Please do Observer next. :)
2.7k people were expecting a hack n slasher game
I like that the comments are taking the video more serious than the creator himself.
why there is no emotion while reading? is it a robot just reading?
There were a few good points in there. Most of them seemed forced, though.
"Combat feels tacked on so it isn't called a walking simulator." Couldn't agree more.
I enjoyed the game as well as enjoyed your video. Best $29.99 I spend next to Observer.
Observer. i think its going to be as hard as this game to sin. too trippy to sin
Well Senua isn't hallucinating everything. SHE is at hell, thats not the hallucination, the monsters and bosses were real but some things like the voices in her head and etc are
So...we know Druth was a real person. But the question is, is Druth's voice in this game his actual soul guiding her , or is she imagining a dead person talking to her.
I believed she was hearing him through her thoughts- not real. It’s sad cause he was such a sweetheart :(
Btw there are eyes on the trees in the first part.
Can you please do whole video in *that* voice because it was sick
8:38 for my future reference
