The Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Switch port is seriously impressive

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a very good game indeed. It’s one of the best games to use to showcase audio, but it’s also quite a lovely-looking game, technically. Here’s what we said of the game in our review:

“Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a prime example for anyone making the case that video games are a powerful art form. Creatively ambitious, it’s exceptionally well-thought-out and implemented – making it striking at both a sensorial and psychological level as it delves deep into an exploration of life with psychosis. It has its gameplay flaws but remains must-experience for adult audiences. An instant classic for this generation.”

The game is headed to Nintendo’s Switch, but many – myself included – didn’t think it would be a particularly good port. Afterall, the game is technically beyond the little system’s capabilities. While there are a few current gen games like Doom and Wolfenstein that’ve been ported to the Switch without sacrificing too much, it seems like Hellblade is the new champion of Switch ports. Take a look:

In this video from SwitchUp, we can see that there are a few concessions, naturally. The cutscenes are all videos, so they look a bit better than the gameplay itself, but it’s still damned impressive. In somewhat related news, it appears that the Mortal Kombat 11 Switch port is equally impressive, maintaining a steady 60fps. I love the Switch, and I’m happy that devs are putting in the effort to squeeze as much performance as possible out of the thing.

It’s out on Switch today.
