Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

Piękna gra która opowiada o strasznych rzeczach. Jeśli ktoś się zastanawia czy lepsza od jedynki, tak.

Gioco spettacolare. Introspettivo e denso.

画面很好，内容一般

Супер!

Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na minha vida, história, gráfico, jogabilidade, tudo 20/10.

Just beautiful. The emotions, the music, the scenery. I enjoyed this every bit as much of the first game. I loved seeing Senua's growth as an individual, realizing you cannot have light without darkness. I had a great time playing this game!

Hellblade 2 is a much more *cinematic* game than the first one, and by that I mean it can be really hard to tell when Senua is actionable when you first get your hands on the game. This is mostly an issue during combat encounters, but once you get a feel for the game it feels really fluid and satisfying. This game also has the best looking blood I've seen in any game period, often looking better than gore effects in film and TV shows like Game of Thrones somehow. Doesn't look fake or simulated in the slightest. The combat is a lot more challenging than Hellblade 1, Senua can only single dodge, and parry timings are strict (I played on Hard in both games). Unfortunately, melee attacks are removed from this game (kicks, flying knee, stuff like that), which makes the combat feel a lot simpler than the first game. On top of this, there are no more fights with multiple enemies, instead Senua switches between enemies in specific animations tacked on to finishers and scene transitions. While I think the new system is cool, it definitely rewards exploring the mechanics less than the first game. [spoiler]Also, the up-close fire breath attacks are a pain in the ass to dodge.[/spoiler] Hellblade 1 felt like an experimental, middle-budget game that had a really cool concept. Hellblade 2 takes those roots and gives it the full AAA treatment, and all the harsh edges are replaced by incredible performance capture and in-engine environmental effects (fractal distortions, mirrored terrain, etc.). The first game feels a lot more charming, and while I enjoy Hellblade 2 it's definitely lost something that made the first game so special. On another high note, the representation of Iceland in Hellblade 2 is near indistinguishable from the pictures I've seen of the real thing, somehow topping the intro to Death Stranding 1. Add in some distant road noise and it would be indistinguishable from reality in places, and despite this the game runs great. I know not everyone is a fan of heavy post processing (chromatic abberation, film grain, etc.), but in Hellblade 2 I think it actually looks good (you can also disable the effects by editing the config file). I'd recommend this game to fans of the first, and I'm looking forward to trying out Dark Rot mode. If you have any interest in the series, start with the first game for sure.
