Indeed Senua's design is clearly a labour of love for the studio. It's one half of the process to bringing Senua to life, the other being the high level of detail applied to her character model. Each grimace and cry of the lead actress is keyed in - synchronised with her body movements - using a camera as a reference point. It quite literally screams at you from the start, though adds a crucial element of humanity to the script. With titles likes Heavenly Sword and Enslaved on the studio's CV, it's no surprise that motion capture plays a big part in Hellblade's storytelling. It's also a highly accomplished tech showcase across all platforms. It certainly impressed on PS4 and PC when it debuted in late 2017, and with the recently released Xbox One X version, we have the best console version of the game bar none. Miraculously, a core team of 14 people at Ninja Theory created something greater than the sum of its parts - marrying beautiful art direction with Unreal Engine 4's cutting-edge feature-set.
Built on a relatively low budget compared to the triple-A heavyweights, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice still impresses as one of the generation's most striking games.
