Hellblade VR Edition is currently only $3 on Steam
Developed by Ninja Theory in 2017, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a special gaming experience that aims to create an understanding of mental illness. It centers on the schizophrenic heroine Senua, whose journey through her memories and hallucinations is accompanied by the voices in her head. The VR edition is currently available for just $3 on Steam (see link below) and should not be missing from any PC VR games library. You can also use it to prepare for the sequel, which was announced yesterday during the Xbox Developer Direct for May. However, it is unlikely that the second part will also receive a VR port.
