'Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2' is a visually arresting epic held back by dry, tedious gameplay.
Hellblade 2 is the most visually accomplished game seen so far in 2024 and a true UE5 showcase - and there's plenty PC developers can learn from it.
they learnt series S can only manage 900p!! 😳

If you go for a graphic type game you better have a great story like Heavy Rain or have some good gameplay. Can’t make a game with amazing graphics but nothing to make you want to continue playing it.
Hellblade 2 was good. I enjoyed the story and it's a real looker. Best looking game I've ever played.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, developed by Ninja Theory, continues the journey of Senua, delving deeper into her psychosis and exploring themes of trauma, resilience, and self-discovery. This highly anticipated sequel builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor, with a focus on narrative depth, visual excellence, and immersive sound design.
Ninja Theory writes: "We've added some fixes to improve the game experience"
"Misaligned peach fuzz around Senua's neck and face has been corrected"
ahh, just the patch ive been waiting for, can jump in now, safe in the knowledge, misaligned hairs have been aligned...
what a Day to be alive
Wasted visuals, the game is interesting only at the 4th chapter, dumb ending
rushed and unfinished story
"Until You Have To Play It" The score should be lower then, it is a game after all.
Hate it or love it it seems like.. very basic gameplay with nothing new.
Pass on PS5 as well for me
How is this different from the PS exclusives where gameplay=walking around plus exposition though? Alan wake 2 was also mostly a walking sim with the awful case board "gameplay" and barely any combat.
Recent narrative/cinematic games have too many sequences that are just slowly walking around without any actual gameplay or combat.
