Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga

Hellblade II is a stunning cinematic experience, sort of a mixture of [i] The 13th Warrior [/i], [i] Beowulf & Grendel [/i], [i] Valhalla Rising [/i], and [i] The Northman [/i], with Senua as the protagonist, of course. Highly captivating, especially the animations are superb, I frequently catch myself flinching at hits received in fights. There are no game aspects to distract you from this experience, no inventory, leveling up, or skill trees, it really is just a walking simulator in this sense, but one that I can highly recommend! I also recommend to limit the frame rate (to avoid your GPU from melting) by modifying the game's ini file. Unfortunately, as in the first part, this cannot be set from the in-game settings menu.

Nice continuation of the first game

Juegazooo por Dioss alto Juegazo. La ambientacion, la musicalizacion, los graficos una obra de Arte

so cool combat and the graphics are insane

그래픽이 진짜 넘사벽 그래픽이다. 플레이 하는 내내 눈이 즐거웠음. 게임플레이는 시네마틱-전투-퍼즐 반복, 전투랑 퍼즐은 어렵지않음, 퍼즐의 참신함은 1때랑 비슷함. 움직임이 진짜 너무 자연스러움. 이럴수가 있는 싶은정도. 전투는 진짜 영화같다. 스토리가 너무 이해하기 난해하다. 말하고싶은게 뭔지는 알겠는데, 그럼에도 너무 난해하다. 조현병이 컨셉인건 알겠는데, 게임플레이 내내 양쪽에서 부정 귀신 두마리 짓거리는데 짜증남. 중요! 로어스트롱 비석, 숨겨진 얼굴 찾는건 진짜 첫트부터 스트레스 안받으려면 공략 꼭보면서 해야함 절대로 혼자힘으로 다 못찾는다. 다 깨면 제작자 비하인드 나레이션, 다른인물 나레이션 플레이를 주는데, 이런 중요한게 보상이였으면 처음부터 줬어야지... 다 깨면 목숨가지고 세이브 데이터 날려버리는 모드가 언락되는데, 2회차 려운거 전혀 없으니 로튼모드+타인물 나레이션 모드 꼭꼭꼭 도전바람. 2회차부터는 시네마틱 건너뛰기가 ESC누르면 나오니까 빠른 진행 가능

Having enjoyed the first installment of Hellblade, I was excited to finally play Hellblade 2. Like the first game, this one features the same very linear, cinematic story following a new chapter in Senua's life. It does everything a sequel should do to honor and improve on it's predecessor, while being a solid standalone game. Pros: - The graphics and visuals are stunning, but the sound design is very impressive. Highly recommend playing with Headphones like the game suggests. - If you have not played the first game, while I recommend you do, you can definitely still jump into Hellblade 2, as it gives a brief synopsis/overview of the important events of the first game. - Beating the game has several quality of life improvements, as you can now select the chapter you would like to play to grab collectibles you may have missed without starting over from the very beginning. - If you do choose to play the game over again, beating the game once unlocks a harder difficulty, as well as bonus commentary and additional narrators. Cons: - If you did not like the first game, I'm not sure you'll find much to like with this one, as it is very true to the initial formula. Go in area, watch cutscene, solve puzzle, fight enemies, repeat. - Some aspects of Senua's psychosis are less up to interpretation, and that takes away some of the mystique the first game introduced. - Combat can be frustrating, but isn't overly punishing when playing on the normal difficulty. - As stated before, this game is VERY linear, and VERY story driven. At times it will seem like a choice could be presented to the player, but it's presented to Senua within the story. Players are assisting with moving the story along rather than manipulating it. - The game is expensive for the amount of game available. Playing through the game once and reloading chapters to collect all collectibles only took around 10 hours. I personally really enjoyed the game and think the art direction and story were worth the price, even with the short game play time. Sometimes it's nice to play a game where you just progress the story and don't have to think too hard about. I felt like while some parts I wished were expanded on more, I also don't think the game overstayed its welcome.

Męczyła mnie ta gra. Zbyt często stawała się tworem gropodobnym, a nie samą grą. Odrzucały mnie niepotrzebne zwalniania rozgrywki, nudne i przeciągane sekwencje mające za zadanie wywołać u mnie ,,odczuwanie". Jednocześnie strona audiowizualna kładzie większość produkcji na łopatki. Historia, choć krótka to wciąż kawał wspaniałej opowieści. I do tego jedna z najciekawszych głównych bohaterek w historii gier. Hellblade 2 to często twór męczący, kulejący od próby ufilmowienia jej. Z drugiej to piękne doświadczenie, które ciężko porównać z czymś innym. I przy tym wszystkim szkoda, że pewnie już nie otrzymamy trzeciej opowieści tej serii. Pozostaje nam się cieszyć solidnymi dwoma opowieściami ze świata Hellblade.
