- Episode Notes:
My-oh-my do I have a contentious relationship with Hellblade. It think it's one of the strongest narratives you'll ever experience in an interactive medium...... I also think it's one of least enjoyable games I've played in years. The combat is shallow and the moment to moment exploration feels like busy work. But the visuals, the INCREDIBLE audio design, and the personal nature of the story coupled with the artful way Ninja Theory chose to tell it more than makes up for the repetitive play. If you're unfamiliar with it, play. This video ain't going nowhere, and it's an important title as being an interesting middle-tier game. Otherwise, kick back and enjoy.

A Declaration:
Welcome to the Gameological Dig, a channel devoted to playing games with obtuse and interesting stories. The aim of this channel is to treat these game worlds like an archeological site, meant to be unearthed and studied, so that we may better understand their plots, characters and themes.
This is what this channel is all about. A deep voice, spinning the tails of lore in narrative-heavy games. Love this episode.
SGresponse I aim to please!
The sound design in this game is just spectacular! Dont play this game without a proper headset.
Space Cat! It’s incredible. Played it with a stereo system, though almost everybody says quality headsets is the way to go.
@@GameologicalDig You need to replay it now. With a surround sound headset.
Why is this channel not famous ??? it has some of the most entertaining and thought provoking content on this platform. Love your work , as always ; keep it up !
Man it kills me that this channel doesn't have millions of subs. This level of quality is remarkable, i don't even know what to say...
Like if this was a heavily funded Netflix series, i would still say the quality of the content surpasses all expectations.
Indeed mate !
Probably cuz I have no clue how to market it lol! I’m just glad I’ve got you guys! Hahahaha-never abandon me!
The truth is... it's a small market. That's why games like SOMA (and even Hellblade) are so underappreciated and have even caused companies like Frictional to make more mainstream games (this is what Frictional, the makers of SOMA, have decided to do with their future games after the loss of money they experienced with SOMA).
It's a sad truth, but truly deep and thought provoking games, and other forms of media including this channel, are destined to not be very widely received because most people just don't understand it enough to appreciate it.
The best we can all do is support each other and enjoy the few gems out there that are on the level of SOMA, Hellblade, etc...
I find myself having to prepare to watch your video so I can enjoy it without interruption of any kind
Liam Niemann Thanks, Liam Niemanns! I do the same sometimes.
When I went through this game, I had thought Senua's problems were more manifestations of extreme elements of post-traumatic stress and paranoid schizophrenia, but thinking about it and reading up a bit after this video, I think your call of classic psychosis combined with sustained psychological abuse was a better fit. Well spotted, and well done on another video.
I agree with what the others say that this is one of the best channels of this type out there. If only you posted more often...
Another great video man. Damn this is such a beautiful game and I'm glad to see a TH-camr that wasn't completely lost in the story and it's integration into the gameplay. I normally don't like linearity but imo this game nails it, this is how linear games should be made - every step you take reveals more about the story, it's hardly ever(if at all) separated between the gameplay and cutscenes. Once it starts the story is constantly moving forward with no pauses just to add filler. The only time it stops is when you're not moving forward but even then the voices fill that void by mockingly trying to push you forward.
Fox Die Hellblade should be a primer on how to handle non-linear narrative. It drip feeds information in a way that has you noticing new details with every play through. I didn’t love playing it, but I loved coming to understand it. Whatever Ninja Theory do next, I’ll be there. They’ve earned it.
There's good hope for their next game, I believe. From what I've heard, they're now part of Microsoft with all resources they need, but also complete artistic freedom. One can hope that those claims are true... unfortunately, that also means it probably won't come to PS4. :(
I've been thinking about playing through Hellblade again since I did only go through it once. On your 2nd run were you able to notice quite a few details you missed on your first? The last time I played it was about 3 days after it's release. Oh and I meant to ask this in my previous post - wasn't Surtr a Fire Giant, not a God?
That would suck if that meant whatever major title they work on next doesn't come to PS4 but it would atleast make it to where it wasn't a waste for me to buy their XB1X and they desperately need some good exclusives, or atleast exclusives I'll consider buying that aren't racing or like CoD. It would suck for people who don't own both systems but atleast the PS4 has some amazing titles that would make up for that loss I suppose.
I searched for this exact video about Hellblade. A consistent overview of the story in a linear fashion based on what we learn in the game about Senuas past. Awesome video, cheers mate!
I found you're channel through Soma and I just wanna tell you that these videos are awesome. In this video I just go along and think about your ideas, and in the Nier vid I disagreed, but it's so cool that there's seriously made discussions and videos about these things that makes you think either way. Keep doing these kind of things! I'm subscribed and ready for your next topic.
Fascinating your ability to make me deeply interested in games I never heard of before. Someday, your channel will get the wide recognition it deserves. Keep it up !
Excellent, a new video to start the day with. As always the quality is unmatched and informative as well as entertaining and thought provoking. Top marks
ʙʀᴀɴᴅᴏɴ ᴍɪʟʟᴇʀ thank you, sir. 🙏 Always happy when people like things I’m uncertain about.
I've been subbed since you started the Dishonored series, and yet I'm still amazed by your vids. This channel needs 250k subs asap.
"So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the "burning marl." Old wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is-other people" - No Exit
Men it's so good to finally get another video from you, I admire how the quallity of your videos keeps gettinh better with time, amazing video as always, Hellblade was one of the best originnel games I've seen in a while. But I'm still waiting for a Nier Automata video xD. Keep up the good work man, thanks.
Anas Bahi Haha, these videos take time, though not normally THIS long. I hit plenty of snags along the way - was originally supposed to be a Silent Hill series, but it just didn’t work out - so things took WAAAY longer than they should have. Thanks for the patience.
As for Nier, you might be waiting a while. I did start it, but I’m not fully engaged by it. The reality is I don’t have much a stomach for anime/anime inspired content. And because of the amount of lore from previous games, it might be too much of an undertaking. But never say never! Who knows how I’ll feel about it when I beat it.
Once again, an amazing video.
eddiebox123 I’m bowing in gratitude, good sir. Thank you.
Excellent video as always.
Hellblade was one of my favorite games of 2017, so I may or may not have had my heart momentarily leap from my body when I saw this notification.
Talent, that is what you have.
Tommy Rosario It doesn’t always feel like it, but I thank you, sir. 🙏
seriously. this channel has the best narration/explanation for any video game.
Very fine video. It's nice to have everything covered so well, particularly for a game featuring an unreliable narrator. I will very much disagree with your opinion of the gameplay though. I thoroughly enjoyed the combat, exploration and puzzle solving, the pacing seemed right and I feel too much more "game" would have been to the detriment of the overall design, making progress more frustrating; it's a game I feel was designed to be completed, experienced in it's entirety, not to block people from progressing by requiring ninja-skillz (not that I mind those). In short, I bloody loved it, and your video wasn't bad either :)
Well stated! I completely agree with you 👍
Absolutely wonderful!
Morrigon VR much obliged! I was nervous about this one, so I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Gameological Dig This game needed exploration and I can't think of anyone better for the journey and story than you. Bravo!
Dude your works are amazing. Top tier production value. How is this just stuck at 221 likes is beyond me.
Soo happy to see you back!! Love your voice and this video, and you even included Illusion (one of my favourite tracks), can’t wait for your next masterpiece ;3 Keep it up, good sir :)
Harley Burton Thanks! Yeah, the game’s soundtrack is perfect for lore videos. Nothing too in your face, all very ambient and mood setting. I loved it.
I’ve watched many videos on this game and this one is 1000% better! Best explanation by far!
Just wrote an assignment at ITU in Copenhagen as an MSc student in Games. Played through Hellblade fairly recently and the task was to write a narrative analysis of a game, so it wasn't a question for me that I would like to write about Hellblade. However, just after playing through the game once, it has become one of my all-time favorite games, your video still helped me to understand some part of the story which were not totally clear for me. The game is an art and a masterpiece, just as your video!
incredibly smart, understanding all that was NOT easy, judging by how no other explaination video got it right
I like your narrations. They have a cool, analytical tone, like a cross between Rod Serling and Officer Tuvok.
The blood eagle happened in lore supposedly, it was one of Odin's things. It can't happen in real life, the pain would kill the person and send them into shock, but maybe it'd scare off invaders... it's first step is flaying.
masterful :) another truly great dig into a fantastic game
I hope you are doing fine! Those are all great videos…
criminally underrated channel
And now hell-blade 2 has been officially announced tonight !! The trailer is FUCKING BANANAS!!!!
You do EXCELLENT work.
Subbed👍🏾
amazing and memorable and beautiful game that I need to play again
I love this video thank you for clarifying it all for me I don’t regret watching this vid at all
Great narration.
I thought the whole game was in her head as she died along side Dillian in the raid. But apparently it wasnt because it's gotten a sequel.
I’m not psychologist, but I do work with people with mental illnesses like dementia and personality disorders daily. The “Sight”, which from what I’ve seen in game, seems very much like a schizophrenic offshoot if not full on schizophrenia. Hellblade has an interesting take on mental illness both because of its setting and its manifestation in game. It seems exaggerated (though it is a piece of historical fantasy so some artistic license is necessary), but through this exaggeration the subjective anguish can be more easily displayed. Hellblade as a game disappointed me somewhat but the narrative and nuance really captivated me. *I love y’all’s channel keep it up!!*
wow
You have no idea how much I squealed seeing this notification~
lunaball1 No judgment here, lol.
Wonderful analysis, thank you.
Independent AAA level content...Great channel!
Hey GD. I love your videos, at least the ones Ive watched! I havent played everything youve dissected yet, thus I must wait, because I love a mind fuck of a plot twist in games/movies.
Your insight and delivery is brilliant. I also quite enjoy your voice. I was wondering if you will ever cover Limbo or Little Nightmares. Your video on Inside was really good. Im lookin forward to whatever you put out in the future either way!
Thank you for this informative video
Oh god, this game is deeper than I thought, it's so good
Actually the idea that Hadrian's Wall was built to keep the Picts out of Roman Britain is thought to be incorrect, as cool as it is. It was more likely that I was simply a means for the romans to establish secure, contiguous border check points for travelers and merchants.
Man is very sad seeing how little views content like this has...meanwhile Rat-Boy ninja gets millions playing fortnite......this is the kind of videogame content that worth watching
Hell yes, this is awesome!

Федор Гаврилов haha, there’s a lot that can be said about this!
I recommend you to play anthem when it comes out and make lore videos ASAP!!!
I bet your channel will blow up :)
Blood eagles weren't real-the misconception stems from an error in translation in a poem. Berserkers are also misunderstood-the word means bear-skins and meant the rich/powerful warriors, not trance/drug using madmen.
I wonder.... is the combat really that shallow? I really liked it, and I thought it had enough depth for the amount of time you'd spend actually doing it. Also, the animation of fighting looks so breathtaking... I'd go as far as to say it looks the best I've ever seen out of any game. But, that might also be my personal bias for the psychedelic animations.
Also... what kinda shocked me about hellblade is how similar a heavy LSD trip is to her psychosis.
It *looks* good, doesn't particularly feel good or enjoyable a lot of the time. There's little in the way of enemy variety and some sections get really spammy with them. Personally I think Hellblade is one of those games that might have benefited from less combat encounters, but then we'd likely have more tedious puzzles.
Combat is pretty simple but not annoyingly so in my opinion. Fights are still entertaining. Jim Sterling actually stated it pretty well in talking about God of War's combat. The actual mechanics and flow of fights are similar in both games but God of War benefited from having AAA resources going into expanding its combat that Hellblade didn't do.
I enjoyed the combat as well, it's no Dark Souls but I had fun with it regardless. I spent about 20-30mins just fighting the enemies at the end because of that before finally letting it end but I think the music and sound effects had alot to do with it.
@MrSnaztastic summed it up perfectly. Though if you loved it, I can’t take that away from you and I wouldn’t if I could. I’m just hoping Senua 2 - if there is one - adds more enemy variety, combat mechanics and more stimulating puzzles.
And I’ll take your word for it. Never done LSD and to hear you describe it like Senua’s delusions, I’m not sure I want too :-/
The fighting part is easier than most games, but it feels damn great. The animations and the flow are simply amazing and the boss fights feel fresh (not Surrr tho). My fav. bossfight was when you were forced to hear from where the enemy would attack you
Looking forward to Hellblade 2?
Jeez this makes me feel kinda guilty for playing Valhalla
Met a hot girl nows she is my ex. I learned almost too late she was crazy af like this bitch had to issue a restraining order.
I think you’re wrong about a lot in this video you can’t consider your own mother and father as a generalized “other people” especially since the true traditional sense of these other people you’re talking about would be foreigners who actually ended up helping her instead of hurting her. I think you have all of this completely backwards
Aloy senua and Lara croft are the best females characters of all time. Let's keep it up and keep that SJW stuff where it belongs.
"Home for the mentally ill"
For me I like these characters
Boudicca of the Iceni(2003 movie/Barbarians Rising/Ryse Son of Rome)
Etain of the Brigantes(Centurion movie)
Senua of the Picts
Merida of Dunbroch
Aloy, despite the Nora
Lara to 😁
