The website for the game provides this description:
Senua is a single player action-adventure game and a bold new chapter in Senua’s story. It builds on the emotional depth and cinematic presentation of the Hellblade series, while expanding the gameplay with varied and exciting tactical combat — including encounters against multiple enemies with multiple weapons — alongside exploration, puzzle-solving and greater player agency. Designed for both longtime Hellblade fans and players new to Senua’s world, the game is set within a fantastical, evolving reality shaped by her perception, and delivers an action and gameplay focused journey that expands on the heart of the franchise.
What makes Senua different from previous Hellblade games?
With Senua, we’ve taken a bold step forward for the franchise. While the game stays true to the heart of Hellblade — its atmosphere, and character driven storytelling — we’ve placed a much stronger emphasis on action and gameplay. Combat has greater depth and agency, encounters are more varied, and players have more control moment to moment than ever before. At the same time, the story is more tightly focused on Senua herself, telling a complete, standalone chapter that works for both existing fans and new players.
Senua is currently available to wishlist. The Steam store page provides this description:
A Celtic warrior is trapped between life and death in a fractured vision of purgatory. In an action‑adventure set in the Hellblade universe, Senua fights to reach the afterlife and reunite with those she loved and lost, battling forces that threaten all she believes in.
Break through a vision of Senua’s mind to confront the threat within and without, mastering tactical combat to overcome nightmarish creatures born of myth and fear. Explore a world shaped by memory and meaning as Senua seeks a path to inner peace, in a defining standalone story of defiance, choice and legacy.
