Hellblade II and the Players' Existential Crisis

We have reached the day of the eternal philosophical question of games: do you really have time for this?

Of course there is! Because honestly, who needs reality when you can delve into the harrowing horrors of Viking Iceland alongside our beloved, tormented Senua in Senua's Saga: Hellblade IIwhich arrives on Xbox Game Pass on May 21st. Forget about therapy, Face internal and external demons with jaw-dropping graphics that promise to be more intense than a political discussion at a family dinner.

And for those who feel like they've conquered their own inner demons and are ready for something a little lighter (but not), Lords of the Fallen is there to remind you that life can always get worse. Arriving on May 30th, this dark fantasy action RPG will cast you as one of the legendary Dark Crusaders. Because let's face it, we all have a dark side that loves the idea of ​​taking down a demon god on a Tuesday night.

So, as you ponder the existential depths of your being, ask yourself, “Am I prepared to face the chaos and darkness these games promise?” If the answer is yes, excellent choice, my dear virtual warrior! Otherwise, there is always Candy Crush.

More About Hellblade

A fun stroll through the misty gardens of human mind. This game not only features fighting and adventure, but it also drags you through the topic of mental illness — a topic that deserves more spotlight than a famous streamer on console launch day.

In the first game, “Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice”, there was already an immersion into Senua's psyche, a warrior facing visual and auditory psychoses while giving Norse enemies a good slap. In “Senua's Saga: Hellblade II”the folks at Ninja Theory continue the party, promising an even more intense journey through Senua's disturbed mind, in a beautiful setting in Viking Iceland.

Now, seriously, guys: if Hellblade makes you think about your own internal battles or makes you reflect on an acquaintance's struggle with mental problems, remember: seeking help is not a sign of weakness, it's playing in strategic mode. Psychologists and therapists are the co-op partners you need to face the mental health bosses. Don't ignore the signs just because you're not seeing dragons or hearing whispering voices — sometimes the monsters are more subtle but just as challenging. And just like in any good game, strategy and support are keys to victory!
