XBX Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga

[Sonny Bonds]

The first Hellblade flew well under the radar due to being a short 8hr game. Very dark and twisted in surround sound or headphones. Can't wait to see what they do with this.

Hellblade studio launches a new venture to explore mental health through games

It’s an ambitious combination of tech, game design, and clinical neuroscience.

First game was fine, not sure i needed a sequel though. Xbox were always going to make one after acquiring Ninja Theory, though.

I get the feeling the first one was a little teaser/tester. It has Saga in the title suggesting more to come maybe? I'm hoping this will be open world and a much bigger game.

Awesome metal music.

This is one game that doesn't need to be open world.

Give me a mostly linear world that allows a more focused experience.

The first game was a great albeit draining experience. I'm not excited for a sequel but I'm also guaranteed to play it.

Thinking Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Not a massive sandbox game, but big enough for open world.

Xbox need some really top single player games, this looks like it has great potential.

This next gen they just have to release their own god of war/Spider-Man/last of us type games.

Didn't need a sequel, at all.

Nonetheless, will probably have a look. First one sucked me riiiiight in; that opening few minutes were as transfixed before a screen as I've ever been.

Heilung soundtrack will be second to none.

I look forward to this. The first one was a pleasant surprise and I really like Iceland as a country. I'm in.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review

In the giant's footprint

Plenty of mixed opinions out there

 

[Ed_Gein]

Really loved the first one. Would be a shame if this a huge let down.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Played about an hour or so, have really enjoyed it, and graphically, probably the best looking game I’ve seen.

 

[mickelboy182]

Sounds like a bit of a disappointment which is a shame, I enjoyed the first one.

 

[dwwaino]

Some have been really positive. I guess I'll have to just do the crazy thing and play it myself.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Averaging 81/100 on Metacritic from 85 reviews. That's an overwhelmingly positive reception

I'll be getting stuck into in the next few days once I finish off Jedi Survivor.

Looks amazing.

 

[Cyber_punk]

My understanding from the reviews are that the first hour or so is a walking sim before you get a few puzzles and fights mixed with more walking.

So just like the first game I guess

Had a day off so played a few hours. It's very pretty but I'm finding it a bit dull. Might be a divisive one.
