Video: Games that do mental health right

Hellblade isn't the first to tackle this complex topic.

Hellblade, Ninja Theory's next game, focuses heavily on the mental health of main character Senua. It's an interesting premise and one I hope is executed successfully.

Be warned, the below video contains spoilers for Borderlands 2 and Life is Strange episode 2.
