Hellblade was a huge surprise to me. I never expected such a raw, emotional gem from the company that gave me the over-the-top DMC. This is not a long game. I beat it the first time in maybe 5-6 hours. But the experience is fluid and powerful. It is a creative and revolutionary (at least for me) look at psychosis and mental illness, but it goes beyond that. I think that anyone who has struggled with their own selves can relate to this. It was a beautiful game, and I whole-heartedly recommend it to everyone and anyone. The subject matter is difficult to experience at times, but it never feels exploitative or gross. It feels honest and heartfelt. Just excelent. It was so good that even the occasional bug didn't stop me from being emersed in the experience.
