Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

Un bon moment cinematique.

Aqui posso dizer que finalmente joguei um título bem otimizado na Unreal Engine 5, antes tarde do que nunca né?!😅... Hellblade 2 é pra mim o jogo mais bonito graficamente que já vi, um trabalho técnico e artístico fabuloso do pessoal da Ninja Theory.. Joguei no alto com DLSS no modo qualidade em 1440p e ficou top, coisa fina mesmo!! Travado a 60FPS o jogo todo e nada de stutters nem engasgos aleatórios... A parte dos gráficos não tem como não ficar de cara; é impressionante o que fizeram nesse game. A Unreal Engine 5 é um motor gráfico fodão que ainda está numa "fase de aprendizado" por partes dos estúdios mas que sendo usado da forma certa não tem como errar, ela é pica!! Joguei vários títulos com gráficos incríveis nessa gen, como Alan Wake 2, Stalker 2, Robocop entre outros mas nada q chegue nesse nível.. Os detalhes no cenário, as texturas, a iluminação, os detalhes dos personagens é do melhor que tem, cansei de parar no mapa e ficar tirando foto e pensando como aquilo estava incrível... A movimentação também é muito boa, mesmo o gameplay sendo básico e bem simplificado. O combate é bem criptografado, parece que colocaram só pra ter algo a mais do que só andar e resolver minis puzzles pelos cenários. Acredito que se tivessem colocado algo mais estratégico, algo mais no estilo dos novos GOW teria ficado muito melhor, pq as lutam são bem legais esteticamente só que são muito simples... O enredo é bem ok, não cheguei a terminar o primeiro, mas pelo que notei esse segundo parece ter uma pegada menos pessoal que no sacrifice, o foco não fica somente na Senua e é um pouco compartilhado com os outros personagens a medida q vão aparecendo.. Enfim, muito top, recomendo bastante mas se sua praia não é "wake simulator" o algo parecido, indicaria ver gameplays antes da compra.. Jogo com uma atmosfera foda e gráficos brutais.. Nota 8.0

Graphically amazing but ultimately the gameplay is like Dragons Lair from the 80s arcades.You dont really do much just walk slowly through the landscape while voices whisper in your head.Ran pretty smoothly on my aging gaming laptop.I gave up playing after around three hours as I got the game on sale and felt I had gotten that much value from it,but there is no way it is worth €50.

9/10 overall.

nice this games

Ein audiovisuelles Meisterwerk. Alleine die Grafik ist schon eine Klasse für sich, aber gepaart mit dem überragenden Sounddesign wird aus Hellblade 2 ein unbeschreibliches Erlebnis. Die Charaktere nur reden zu hören ist durch das grandiose Voice acting ein Genuss. Melina Juergens hat zurecht damals den Award für beste Performance gewonnen. Eigentlich ist es aber kaum in Worte zu fassen was dieses Spiel mit einem macht.

Мне очень жаль, что я откладывала прохождение этой игры из-за жизненных обстоятельств. Я искренне считаю, что эта игра одна из самых лучших. Ни одна игра не вызывала у меня такой спектр эмоции. Мурашки по коже, сердце колотит так, будто сейчас выскочит из груди. Музыка, персонажи, история - всё просто идеально. Я верю ей, я ощущаю ее боль, я проживаю этот путь. Я тоскую по земле, на которую сама не ступала, я ищу месть и справедливость за тех, кого я сама лично не знаю, но эта игра заставляет меня сменить свою душу и прожить жизнь за Сенуа. Спасибо разработчикам за то, что они создали такой шедевр.

I was a fan of the original Hellblade since 2019. When they announced this sequel shortly after I first played it I was so excited. Then a couple years went by and I kind of stopped caring about this game. It's been such a long time that the hype kind of died down for me. Then Hellblade II finally released in 2024. And the reception I've seen was not what I expected. People trashed this game all over the internet. Called it a 3 hour walking sim, a glorified UE5 tech demo, said it's more of a movie than a game. So naturally I wasn't very excited to pay almost a full price for a 3 hour tech demo. And now it's been 2 years. It was on the latest Steam summer sale and I decided to grab it and finally play it (not before another replay of the first game). And what do I think of it? I don't know who were the people who said the things above but now it's clear they probably were not actual fans of the original and were just looking to trash this game for the sake of... I don't really know. Hellblade II is not a perfect game and it's not a perfect movie. It's something in between that is unique to itself. While it does have walking sim qualities (much like the first one...) it is not something that I think can be just done as a full on movie. Or a full on game. What it does can only be done in this way. Ninja Theory took the immersive and intense cinematic traits of its 2017 predecessor and turned it up all they way to 11. This is a bold, sprawling experience that just picks you up and takes you wherever it wants to go. It does not shy away from its walking sim/tech demo nature. It embraces it and uses it to truly blur the line between what exactly is a game and what is a movie. The puzzle are quite simple but can provide some brain activity from time to time, honestly that is all there is to say about them and I think that is totally fine. They were a step down from the first one, like almost every other "gamey" quality. But I peacefully live with this trade off. The story does start out in quite a random way. For a good portion of the experience I was not quite sure if this was some silly side quest to the first one. But at a certain point the ties are made and the confusion gives way for a strong and satisfying narrative. It is not as intimate or personal but it does have its own merits. On a side note - I have no idea how anybody finished this in 3 hours. This one is as long and maybe even a bit longer than the first one. If anybody was expecting a 60 hour RPG that's on them. The combat is where the biggest sacrifice of video game-for-movie was made. The enemy patterns are quite hard to accurately read and the overall feel and flow of the combat is much less responsive. If I parried my entire way through the first one with ease on hard difficulty, in this one I was nearly dying in almost every fight, or was made to feel like I was. The fights do get repetitive but god do they feel big and heavy. Truly a showpiece. And the animations are industry-best. To summarize, If you liked the first game you will like this one too, maybe even appreciate its cinematic traits a little more. The story being told here may not be as strong, but in my opinion it is still worth experiencing. There is a trade off to traditional video game aspects like puzzles and combat but I think it's worth it. Hellblade II is not a perfect video game and it's not a perfect movie, but it is the most unique and bold "in between" I have ever experienced.
