The voices are master ragebaiters part 2

Действительно оригинальная игра, которая заслуживает своего внимания. В игре нет интерфейса, у главной героини есть голоса в голове, которые комментируют все действия. Всё это создаёт полноценное погружение в мир игры. Игра проходится довольно быстро - всего за 7-8 часов. На протяжении всей игры можно будет увидеть разные живописные локации, по которым мы будем скакать постоянно. Боевка довольно простая: быстрый удар, сильный удар, уклонение и спец способность. Играть довольно приятно, но перекаты в игре работают абы как, а их придётся делать частенько. Разработчики постоянно перебрасывают игрока по разным локациям, тем самым сокращая игру, но при первом поиске сокрытого народа в пещерах - это мрак. Час с лишним бродить по однотипной пещере с факелом. Такое чувство, будто разработчикам не хватило денег на нормальный финал: мы побеждаем глав гада и резкий happy end. Остальным героям в игре уделяется мало времени. О них узнаём немного. Игра короткая, разрабы не планировали раскрывать персонажей.

Story was weak, way more boring than the first. 45% of the game you just wait because there is a cutscene, 45% of the game you just walk forward, 5% of the game are straight forward boring puzzles and 5% of the game you "fight". If the clicking of buttons between being pushed can cout as fight. Extreme dissapointment. I remember final fight from the first game. Atmospheric music, tons of enemies, absolutely epic final. I played the last chapter several times.

A játékot végigjátszva .A játék Senua újabb pokoljárását mutatja be Izland komor, mitikus tájain, ahol óriásokkal, rabszolgavadászokkal és saját elméjének démonjaival küzd. Rövid, brutálisan látványos, érzelmileg megterhelő és művészi élmény, amely azoknak szól, akik szeretik a lassabb, atmoszférikus, történetközpontú játékokat. Ha viszont sok akciót, szabadságot vagy hosszú játékidőt vársz, akkor csalódást okozhat. Az én igényeimet kielégítette bár az első részhez képest szebb de nem jobb. Sziasztok

oh poor schizo Senua part 2 9/10

I cannot recommend this game. [spoiler] The story is disjointed and feels incomplete. Where the first game felt like a journey with ups and downs but a clear end to work towards, this feels like a few chapters stapled together with a moving goal post you never truly reach. Is it following Senua's story? Is it about killing big monsters? A bit of both, failing at both. It is mostly a walking simulator. You press W to win. No problem with a compelling story, but oh well. The puzzles few and far between are lacking depth. The fights are SO ANNOYING. The first game managed to create same-y, but satisfying fights. This one has unsatisfying combos, the parry feels weak, and some enemies (especially the fire breathing dude oh my god) are so annoying to fight that only the "press E to win" button kept me going. [/spoiler] [spoiler] Why are we collecting followers and narrators like Pokemon? In the first game we had Druth and the Shadow and they were charismatic but not overly present. Now we have the slave master, discount Druth, the woman from the forgettable chapter, the hidden folk dude, Druth in the lore posts (why?!), her mother in the trees (again, why?!), and her father as an actual silhouette, taking away 100% of his mysterious aura. More is not always better. [/spoiler] [spoiler] The game drags on and you never really know where the story takes us next. First we want to stop the slavers. Alright. Then we capture the "slave master" for some reason and he seems like a big deal? The game never introduced him before so it could just be a random guy, but okay. Then we can only leave until we kill the local giant or something. Okay. So we go meet the hidden folk because they know why. It takes a million very mediocre "press w" puzzles; so many that even the cheerleaders in our head desperately promise us "only one more puzzle, please, don't uninstall the game yet!". Then we kill the giant; visually pleasing, but not difficult whatsoever. Is the game over? No, apparently not; oh right, the slavers! Let's go meet them! Then suddenly we need to kill a second giant? Wait, there's more? Where did that one come from? And another unremarkable NPC? Alright. We kill that second giant and it has no impact on the story. Is the game over? Feels like it: The lore posts are finished, the hidden faces are finished. Collectibles are on 100%. But no, the slavers are still there! Why did the collectibles stop 80% through the game as if the last chapter was never planned? Oh well. Then we have a little forest intermission which is actually nice. Then we fight the last giant and... how does it end? Well, it doesn't tell you. Is it because you missed one lore post or one tree somewhere in the middle of the game? Probably, I might do an achievement run a few years to find out, who knows. [/spoiler] [spoiler] Her voices in the first game were interesting. They mocked her, discouraged her, were fearful, but also empathetic at times. All in all overwhelming Senua (and me) in a nice way, forcing you to discern meaning through their ramblings. This is different in the second game. Senua doesn't really seem to react to them anymore, as if she can't hear them. I am jealous because the voices seem to have lost all depth: Whenever Senua is alone, they mostly cheer her on. All the bite and malice they used to have is mostly gone. Whenever one of the many unremarkable NPCs talks to Senua, the voices talk over them or ask the most unnecessary and redundant questions. I wanted to hit them at times at how unnecessary they were. [/spoiler] Well, it felt good to put it all into words. I guess I won't be coming back for the third game.

Як і перша частина, ця заслуговує на однозначну рекомендацію до проходження. Проте, на відміну від першої частини, тут не буде жодних "але".
