1. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice gameplay

The creators of Heavenly Sword have brought a brand new type of game, at an unusual budget. A large part of the goal for this game was to create a product at AAA quality for $40 instead of $60. Needless to say Ninja Theory succeeded! The only difference you’ll find between Hellblade and another quality game like The Witcher III is size, and the motion of this ocean certainly proves the meaning of the phrase.

What Makes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Awesome:

• An incredible in-depth analysis of grief puts the player directly into Senua’s mind.
• The lack of a visual HUD or UI creates for one of the most immersive adventures of all time.
• Punishing combat becomes all the more intense when your save file is on the line.

Fight foes with brutal precision.
