Warning: Discussions of mental health.
Ninja Theory's Melina Juergens has told BBC Newsbeat how her own mental health experiences helped her connect with her character in Senua's Saga: Hellblade II.
Melina adopts the role of Senua, a woman living with psychosis as she manages her mental illness and the stigma that separates her from her community.
Melina also talks about the painstaking detail that went into props and costumes, including Senua's own clothing.

Great interview. I've only played the game for an hour, but I can already tell that Ninja Theory have created something amazing. I love the amount of effort they put into the costumes and filming on real locations. I hope other developers take note of this and improve their own games in similar ways. Great job, Ninja Theory.

Bjr .Je suis depuis le Gabon. Bravo à Ninja Theory pour ce travail d'orfèvre! Chpisir la matière humaine comme centre d'expérience vidéo-ludique pour comprendre , si tant il est posssible d'y parvenir, la schizophrénie ou autre mamadie mentale, cest un risque à applaudir. L'actrice est d'une beauté raisonnable 😊 Félicitations pour la performance incroyable !!! Voyager dans la tête d'une " folle" tout en portant le poids de ses voix, cest une expérience exceptionnelle et même asez dangereuse pour certains. Merci Xbox pour la promesse tenue et aussi la patience des joueurs 🎉🎉

I found the first game boring. Got a few hours into it, hard to push myself to get that far but just got bored with it. Nothing but pretty graphics and annoying voice overs, oh and basic combat sections. Nothing special about it. Might as well watch a walkthrough on KZfaq, might do that with this second game. I just don't get all the hype these games get. I am an Xbox fan before people start calling me a Ponie or whatever.

Calling this a game is a massive stretch. The first game was brilliant but never needed a sequel. In fact the narration of that game even mentions this to a degree which is rather comical now. It’s obvious that pub in the building at Ninja Theory is where most of the 7 years was spent rather than making a proper game. I loved the first game but this new one is more of tech demo than a game. At best it’s a rather poor walking simulator. One KZfaqr summed it up really well. If you are a geologist you will love this as there is not much to it other than pretty rocks. Not even worth the time it takes to get through on Gamepass and an absolute disgrace that this sequel took 7 years to make compared to the budget and story of Hellblade 1 which is superior where it counts including the self contained story. This is just made as an art piece to win awards and gameplay was a distant second thought. Even the achievements were phoned in with no thought put into them at all. 25pts for opening photo mode just get real. That is a joke. Xbox is cooked if this is the direction they are going to take with AAA as these belong on Netflix as an interactive experience and not passed off incorrectly as a ‘game’.
