Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Review

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox Series S and PC.
"Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 delivers a spellbinding adventure packed with cinematic spectacle and story surprises that maintains a surging sense of forward momentum and never wastes a second of its slender run time. Its combat manages to feel consistently intimidating and immediate despite its mechanical simplicity, and its perspective-based puzzles regularly scratch cerebral itches even though they largely rehash or rework concepts from Senua’s previous story. A journey as brutal as it is beautiful delivered with hardware-pushing visuals and persistently absorbing audio, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is another Viking-worthy feast for the senses that meets the high bar set by its predecessor, even if it never really manages to clear it."

[@ChunkyKitKat87]

Sometimes it's nice to play a game where it just wants to tell a story. Having a break from collecting 100 annoying artifacts, unlocking map fast travels or having to hunt and forage materials so you can advance.

Sometimes simplicity in gameplay elements is a boon in disguise. It ensures the story and atmosphere have room to breath and take center stage. If anything else Hellblade 2 shows again people are having difficulty accepting what a "game" can be for an audience. It doesn't matter if its running time is long or short, if its open world or lineair, has replayability or not. It doesn't matter if this is a walking sim or a game filled to the brim with expected upgradable skill trees. Hellblade 2 doesn't need to be a game for everyone, but it can be a game for you. Those that liked or loved the first game know what they are in for.

Reptilian and Uncle Phil had a baby

5/10, period

[@alpha6games751]

4 hours bro. Not 6

[@trikdoutvl]

So do u ever actually get to play or is it just walking around

[@AlbertoGonzalez-wh3kj]

ask a pony

[@Thomas-cr2pt]

Play what? What is playing? Shooting at everything that moves? Wrong game.

[@Thomas-cr2pt]

​@@elsevillaart yeah, but whomever played the first helbllade purely for the action didnt like that game anyway. Same here. You love hellblade because of the audio visual immersion into a dark (inner) world. The puzzles and action were secondary.

[@persiano33]

nah it's just walking around and you get to fight a few times

[@DOC_951]

@@AlbertoGonzalez-wh3kjohhh another anti-Sony fanboy… let me guess… you’re so amazed at the roster of Xbox exclusives… like… uhhh…. Wait, what are people playing on Xbox? Oh, just more halo and destiny. Wow, amazingggggg

[@matthewwilliams3827]

This game is the GOAT. Gameplay is top notch

[@rabeelsyed9683]

They took 7 years to make a 6-hour game 🙃

[@blackmomba7122]

More around 10 Hours with 100% Completion

[@iamrkxi]

so this cute looking short walking sim is 8 same score as lies of P and spiderman 2 and stellar blade is a 7 ? ok IGN that makes sense xD

[@ShootEvrythg]

The reviewer here is clearly reading a press release by Microsoft.

[@Silverblood13]

It doesnt seem like this guy played the first game.

[@Jpcraque]

It's a 8 everyone...you can move on....

[@pedrorojas2950]

Xbox is winning the generation

[@nabieladrian]

If the competition is "Who can destroy the company the fastest" then yes!

[@BTBSOUNDS]

Didnt know this game's launch was so close

[@staomruel]

Barely any marketing.

[@Jeren6924]

The way this guy accentuates the ending of every sentence is really REALLY annoying.

[@alpha6games751]

Biggest fail is the fact they didn’t even go a little more in depth then the first with the combat.

[@cruzrichard6881]

So its a cinematic interaction game? Like the telltale series but with 4k graphics? Never played the original just curious

[@RafaelHernandez-or8wj]

It's a glorified walking sim with some basic combat encounters thrown in

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

It doesn't have dialogue choices like the TT games but it's cinematic, yes.

[@alexdubey3151]

Is this a game or a movie?

[@Thomas-cr2pt]

Both. But since if has gameplay elements it's called a game.

[@TribalKatz]

We've reached a point where people are starting to talk like AI and AI are starting to talk like us.

Jesus why use Tristan to voice yet another video review. Can't stand how he makes everything a fcking statement sentence.
