Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

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.

What a game!

Oh man where to begin... I first experienced a "Fatal Error" crash at the start of the game's climbing section, so that was fun! Luckily I never experienced it again though. My first impression is the beauty and realism of the visuals, it really blew me away. Sadly that is all the game has to offer. It starts of strong, but up to a certain point it just goes downhill. It's just walking, the puzzles are easier than the first game (which wasn't exactly hard to begin with) and the combat has less depth. No kicks and from what I can tell less attack sequences that you can pull off. There's no game here to be had, no fun to experience. Well alright, the story must be interesting then, right? Ehh no. The first game has the physiological element to it as the forefront, but here not as much. The environment, while pretty, just is so repetitive. Rocks, mountains, you name it. And let's not speak of that damn cave section...my god it was excruciating. Verdict: Unless you are the BIGGEST Senua fan in the world and get this on a sale, it's just a waste of time. Or if you're just like games that looks good, then sure go ahead and waste your money.

it just as good if not better than the previous installment

So, let's start with the obvious: is the game beautiful? yes is the game very beautiful? yes is the game incredibly beautiful? yes That is where its pros end. After finishing the first part, I couldn't wait to launch the sequel, to see something just as incredible as the world of Helheim, incredible and atmospheric locations, colorful and fast-paced combat - forget about it. Right from the start, the player is stripped of the ability to remove the annoying black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I had to edit the config files. What do you even call this? After the first few enemy encounters, it became obvious that little remained of the combat dynamics from the first part. Did it become more cinematic? Yes. But man, is every single fight annoying. For the first half of the game, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being shown a completed version of [Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo]: the same rocks, the same narrow gaps to squeeze through - holy crap, there are so many gaps. If the developers hadn't forcibly slowed down the character's running speed, the game could be beaten much faster, but as it is - she is constantly walking, crawling, or squeezing through a gap. In the first part, I was impressed by the voices in the heroine's head, by the whispering. It was so organic that you kind of got used to it; the voices didn't trigger every single second, but rather complemented important gameplay moments. In this part, the developers apparently decided to crank these voices up to the max - resulting not in an addition to the heroine's thoughts, but in a complete mess. Eventually, you just stop paying attention to them altogether; they become like annoying little mosquitoes that just buzz around. Pacing. The first part felt slow to me, yes, but more in a meditative way. This part just feels slow and dragged out, like a stretched-out TV series intro where the characters just keep walking, walking, walking... Conclusion: if you liked the first part of the series, you are most likely in for a disappointment. The game is slow, but cinematic. I would call this genre "cinematic annoyance".

didn't expected it to be this short... and I was just walking around, not even running but there's nothing much to explore, just narrative-driven corridor-style linear game. combat gets repetitive quickly, I was seeing same finishers and grabbing/holding animations very soon. also puzzles are easy and felt like much less of them than in previous game. on the positive side, it has GREAT audio design and musical score, I was getting goosebumps in every 15 minutes. graphics looks good but well, it's UE5 game... character animations are also very good, walking has weight and you can feel environment, face animations are also top-notch. I just wanted more

地狱之刃3！！！

Grand jeux, je ne m'attendais pas à adorer cette saga autant que ça. Tout est incroyable et améliorées dans cette continuation. Le combat est meilleur mais j'aurai aimée qu'ils soient plus réactif surtout quand on touche les bonne touches et qu'elle se relève plus vite et attaque directement si elle n'est pas touchée. Enfin c'est ce que j'ai remarquée et j'ai eu un peu de mal a m'y habituée ce qui as rendu mes combats rempli d'adrénaline mais de frustration. Mais je dois dire que ce jeu m'as coupée le souffle que ce soit pour les expressions des personnages, le paysage, et les puzzles qui cette fois étaient exquis et particulièrement fun a résoudre; non comme le premier. Et j'ai adorée les cutscenes, c'était juste incroyablement immersif et plongeant. Je ne rejoue pas souvent des jeux mais je pense le refaire pour débloquer le succès ou le mode pourriture.
