Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2

I don't quite know how to explain this game. I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I suffer from PTSD and this game, along with the first one, portrays flashbacks incredibly well. It is a beautiful game, 100%. The detail in almost every aspect is amazing. Some parts of the game I just sat and stared at for a while because it was so beautiful.

But this game is a tiny glimpse into the world that is psychosis. Voices in your head, self-doubt, irrationality, improperly perceived feelings of danger, snap reactions to nothing, flashbacks that can be utterly debilitating... this game portrays it incredibly well and I really felt everything Senua went through -when she's alone-. In games like this, it's not the combat or the puzzles, although they are quite entertaining in this. It portrays what goes through the minds of traumatized individuals when they don't have something else to focus all that high-strung survival energy on.

And how a game can show us that in the most lonely and difficult moment in life, there is always a way and always a light that can help us even in the worst times of life. ❤❤❤❤❤
It was one of the most beautiful and powerful story lines I have ever played
The sound of this game is one of the best,which makes the story of the game more beautiful
And compared to Hellblade 1, there were a lot of changes. The atmosphere of the game was completely similar to reality and I felt like I was watching a movie. And the graphics were great :))
I enjoyed it ツツツ

Beautiful game, I didn't care about the limited gameplay because every scene had me staring with my jaw wide open. The game immerses you in a way very few do, just like the first one, it's really something special. 10/10 would play again.

I don’t feel deceived by this game, even though my expectations have been somewhat not met. I don’t feel deceived mostly because I was highly skeptical of the potential contained by a sequel to what I felt was a one-off adventure, wholly constructed and finished throughout the single game we got.
Unfortunately, Hellblade 2 feels like a game made on the back of the success of the first one, without any clear direction. If there was a clear direction and idea, it was not allowed to fully flourish in time and money.j This is regrettably another fumble in what is a pretty harrowing year for AAA gaming.
The game is exceedingly pretty and has some wonderful set pieces, but it seriously overstays its welcome in order to hit a more generous runtime.

We miss games like this , It's not open world, there's no map, there's no markings on the screen , the story has a very deep meaning , the characters, the graphics 10/10 .. well done ninja theory

This game leaves me conflicted, but a tentative rec is better than indifference.
On the one hand, it is visually phenomenal, this game eschews full motion video insets of the first one because the visuals are BETTER than real, and it does a lot pf things that would have been impossible or impractical to do via FMV.
On the other hand, it simplifies the gameplay something fierce. Less puzzle variety, simpler patternized one on one combat that has QTEs written all over it instead of crowds of enemies and a pretense at tactical combat from the first one.
On the third hand, Melina Jurgens once again delivers a phenomenally haunting performance as Senua struggles with communicating What She Sees and What She Thinks to people who do not see what she does -- and accidentalies herself into the role of a spiritual leader for a people without guidance.
On the fourth hand, the first game's strongest point was the uncertainty of how much of her journey was real and how much she hallucinated. Here, the delineation is much cleaner (or is it?), as the game explores the subject of mass hysteria as a crowd manipulation tool, giving maybe-intentional social commentary on Dark Age statecraft.
It's definitely thought provoking and unforgettable, but unlike the first one I don't see myself returning to it any time soon. It's a little sad, but maybe my opinion will change on my next replay of Sacrifice.

This is my first ever game review. I don’t write them usually, but couldn’t avoid Hellblade 2. I loved first game, it was unique, atmospheric and interesting. To be honest wasn’t expecting anything from second game, as I fought story ended there. After I saw gameplay trailer of second part I was impressed by graphics. So upgraded my gpu to have a try beside the different reviews. Game is linear, but it does not spoil gameplay. I think this is most beautiful game at this moment, not only by graphics, but design, scenes and composition. My respect to the developer team, this game is an pure art.
