Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II — A mighty warrior whose tale is too short | The DeanBeat

From the moment that you start playing Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, you are tossed in a storm like a sailor on the seas of fate. As a Celtic warrior, Senua is chained aboard a Viking slaver ship headed to Iceland. The storm is horrifying, the ship capsizes, and you can feel Senua’s struggle for existence.

Much more in command of herself than in the previous game, Senua has allowed herself to be captured to trace a path to her enemies who keep enslaving her people. She wants to get to the bottom of why they keep attacking and put an end to it. The odds against her are horrifying, yet she fights on.
