Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

I was REALLY looking forward to playing this after the wonderfully incredible first game. I kept geting fatal errors for 3hrs before I finally got the game to run on the absolute lowest settings possible with some advanced tweaks. It is still a beautiful looking game however the gameplay does not live upto the first. The story drags on and becomes repetative - and there is a lot of wandering just so the narration can be told which I felt became boring.

Would recommend if you're looking for a story-focused game

Probably the best graphics I've ever laid eyes on. A truly incredible cinematic experience.

great story!

Insanely pretty and even better sound design than the first one However story and writing suck imo and there is so little gameplay that its barely a game, which is fine but the puzzles and gameplay are so easy, they feel like an insult when paired with the voices that are literally just backseating and forming every thought for you, so you dont even have to think anything anymore In the first game, the voices felt like they had their own character and weren't just there to help the player not to use their brain Here, the voices and the writing are so cringe and agenda-driven Honestly just go watch a movie, like the original Alien or Midsommar which also have a strong female lead and are actually good

I would say first game was more intense and "too much", but only after playing it you can enjoy this second part. Game itself and story is amazing. Its like a journey or interactive movie, which from gameplay standpoint makes is very scripted and linear. Made to show someone else's reality to be lie for those who dont experience the world as them. I enjoyed it for sure. And it is short enough not to bother your.
