Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

the only reason i am recommending this game is because you gotta play it for completing senua's story and the graphics is just the best out of any game other than that this game is so bad other than graphics its just worse in every way from the first part (senua's sacrifice) this game is like you cooked the perfect meal the best meal the tastiest one and you ♥♥♥♥ on it even tough its the best but just cause it has ♥♥♥♥ its not good first of all the combat mechanics are worse than first part the parry and dodge take 3 buisness days to take place it sacrificed interactivity and good gameplay mechanics for a more movie like feel now even tough every pve battle looks like a cutscene i still prefer the first part's gameplay and there are many other issues but the biggest issue is the locked 21:9 aspect ratio for the whole game it would be good if it was like for cutscene only but having 1/3 of my screen for the whole game is just too annoying this game is not the best game its average but its a type of game which even tough is kinda bad you should still play and experience it fr

The last few minutes and the final words alone made this whole game worth playing. I'm not even gonna lie, the ending almost made me cry :((( Those final words really was something... As for the gameplay... it's pretty linear (which Is expected) But it actually took me three tries to finally get into it. A lot of the time it felt like I was just walking around rocks or taking longer paths for no real reason other than making the game last longer, and those parts got boring pretty quickly. For me, this game is weaker than the first one, although they're honestly hard to compare. The first Hellblade felt more like an actual game, while this one feels much more like a movie. It's about what it's like to live in a world where you hear and see things that nobody else does, and it's all built around telling that story. I wouldn't recommend it to people looking for fun or challenging gameplay. But if you enjoy story+driven games and don't mind spending more time listening than actually playing, then it's definitely worth experiencing.

Best game in terms of visuals. I would have liked a bit more story, but I think that’s compensated for by the atmosphere, audio, and visuals.

Not usually one for Viking stuff or leaving reviews, but this was an incredible experience.

少了一分震撼，多了一分感动

i like it, BUT 1- GRAPHICS: the graphics in this game is just unbelievable, its crazy how this game is released in 2024 and yet until now there isnt any other game that can reach to how good the character designs are and how good the world in general are, BUT,... i disliked the Water mechanics, with the amount of good visuals and colors, graphics and world they clearly didnt pay lot of attention to the water, for graphics i rate it 9.2/10 (not 10 because water) 2- WORLD DESIGN: sorry but hellblade 1 solos by far, the way the world of hellblade 1 felt large, felt enough, comparing to hellblade 2 for example, there were lots of times where i felt trapped, i couldnt really feel that the world is big, i just felt like i was in a small bubble, there arent lots of colors, there arent lots of difference that i can say oh im in a different place now, it didnt have a soul, it felt like it was a ready unreal engine 5 templates, for that i give the world 4/10 3- PUZZLES (very important for a cinematic game): again, compared to the previous game hellblade 1, hellblade 2 is so much easier in puzzles, theyre like a straight line no misleads and it even feels like the puzzle solves itself, i understand it though, i dont really blame them on this one because after all its not that bad, i give it 6/10 4- STORY: liked it, but not that much, the idea of freeing the giants is interesting, its fun, but it feels like a wasted potential, with your elements you can easily reach 20 hours of the main story yet there were lots of shortcuts, seriously every time i wanted to invest more in a part of the story they just end it and move to the next, and the ending ? gosh it feels the same , i didnt get a decent ending where i can feel that, yes, finally, i feel relieved for this ending, but maybe thats just me, i give it 7/10 5- CHARACTERS: another wasted potential, only one character i admired the way they turned which is Thorgestr, his character devolopement is amazing, wonderful, beautiful, but the other 3 ? cant say the same, Ástríðr is so basic written, i didnt get attached to her, Fargrímr is just there, hes always too kind and is just mid, and senua, for god's sake give senua sometime to speak, its like im living with senua's voices and not senua herself WHICH I UNDERSTAND, thats what the game is trying to show me, but also show me senua, show me what she actually want show me the way she speaks show me anything about her, i cant know if her character is devoloping or not because the voices keeps changing their wants, i give it 6/10 (1 for senuA AND 5 FOR Thorgestr, rest is just zero) 5- FINAL CONCLUSION: i love hellblade, i love the world, i love everything, im so sorry but the first game was far beyond better, this one just feels like a dlc, and its SUCH a wasted potential, like the biggest wasted potential ive seen so far, there couldve been much more to this game, but it has such a deep place in my heart, and i still would recommend it therefore i give it 7/10

Se vi è piaciuto il primo capitolo il secondo non vi deluderà! E comunque resta un gioco che trasporta come pochi.

I played the first one and I was amazed, and I've just finished the second one, and I am again amazed. 9\10 The only drawback is that combat, which is the most fun part, is a bit scarce.

I much better gameplay experience than the first game, story adn visuals are very good, and the new setting and visuals in this game made it feel different enough to the first game to feel refreshing. I would say though, if you didnt enjoy the first game, this does have very similar mechanics, so you might not enjoy this one. But I would recommend this to someone.

good storytelling game
