Is Hellblade 1 beginner friendly
I’ve actually already finished Hellblade, but I’d really like to have someone I know try it out. The problem is, they don’t really play games apart from the occasional mobile game. The only game I’ve ever played with them was There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, mainly because it was fairly easy to get into for a non-gamer.
I’m not so sure about Hellblade, though. The puzzles can be a little tedious or confusing at times, and while the combat isn’t necessarily difficult, I’m not sure how challenging it would be for someone with very little experience with games like this. They still struggle with moving the character and controlling the camera at the same time, and in Hellblade 1 that’s pretty important.
I actually wanted to play Undertale with them, but I don’t own it on my current device, whereas I do own both Hellblade 1 and 2.
Oh, and I forgot to mention one other thing: they’ve never played any kind of creepy or horror game before. Hellblade 1 can be pretty creepy at times, and it has this really tense atmosphere throughout, so I’m also a little worried they might just get overwhelmed and give up.
So I’m wondering if Hellblade would be a good game to introduce them to, or if I should probably start with something easier and less intimidating?
