Yes, that is generally the case when a small unknown studio gets massive backing. Hellblade II is a game that, while similar in length to the first game, certainly would not have the impressive production value it currently has without Microsoft.

First game had great graphics at the time. The combat was meh but the graphics were high end. Not much seems to have changed really.

I don't think they could maintain the attention to detail and quality without some financial backing. Hellblade II does appear largely in the same vein as the original, but I don't think they could have made it what it is at $50 USD without some serious enhancements in their resources.

That impossible to say without knowing each companies individual expectations. For example Arrowhead clearly had a set expectation for Helldivers 2 but the results were far beyond their expectations. Another exclusive for KT (Rise of the Ronin) became their best seller of all time. Was this their expectations? Who knows but I doubt it.

Stellar Blade did very well for a new IP that happened to be exclusive. Did i expect it to do this well? Not sure but what's more important is Shift Up's expectations.

Every game is different. I definitely recommend Stellar Blade.
