From a technical showcase and story perspective, this is undoubtedly a well-crafted game. It offers a visually stunning experience in every aspect, from realistic lighting and intricate textures to detailed character expressions. Although the running speed is still slow, this allows you to leisurely take in the beauty of the surroundings and be amazed every time you enter a new location.
However, despite all these technical achievements, the game's inherent fun seems to have been sacrificed. The frequent cutscenes and limited interactions make this game feel even less like a game than its predecessor did.
In the end, Hellblade 2 doesn’t seem to be a game for everyone. While it boasts highly impressive aesthetics and technical marvels, it might have been better suited as an interactive movie. As someone once said, it's more akin to an atmospheric walking simulator. If that sounds intriguing to you, then it truly is. If it sounds boring, then it really is.
인상적인 그래픽과 기술적인 놀라움을 가진 워킹시뮬레이터입니다.
흥미롭게 느껴진다면 정말로 그렇고,
지루할 것 같다면 그 또한 정말 그렇습니다.

Senua’s Saga is not trying in any way whatsoever to be a better or different game from its predecessor. To be fair, the graphics have improved massively, but every bit of praise as well as criticism that Senua’s Sacrifice received still applies to Senua’s Saga. This is a very worthy successor to a game which I can only describe as a piece of art. But… If I’m being completely honest, I had higher hopes regarding gameplay. But if you - like me - enjoyed Senua's Sacrifice for what it was, then this is a must-play.

"What happens when you stare at the void and human eyes stare back"
"Every monster was once a man"
It would not be fair to compare this sequel and it's predecessor, Senua's sacrifice hooked us with such a heartbreaking and dark storyline, carrying her dead lovers head on her waist and travelling to hell to bring him back.
It was so deeply heartfelt, petrifying and heartbreaking.
The sequel, storyline wise could never match that and it didn't try to, they didn't aim for the story to hit higher than the previous.
They continued it.
While keeping the same themes, grief, loss heartache and rage. They've shown us what happens after, what comes next is the promise Senua made.
Mental illness of any kind is usually portrayed heavy handedly as someone as victim or a villian, it's not often we see someone with such strength and resilience.
To see anyone so Ill, represented in this way is like a bringer of light in the darkness, not only does it make you feel like it's possible to be this strong, it makes you want to be.
When you boil them down the first game represented accepting loss however hard that may be and coming to terms with your own mental illness and the second is the hope and purpose that comes after, however faint that hope might be.
Audio comment
I can't overstate the power of the audio in this game, Senuas binaural inner voices kept me fully present all through the game, they make successful moments feel even grander with their comments and in unsettling areas they kept me in a constant state of anxiety.
"She's going the right way, no I don't like this something feels wrong here, she should turn back this looks bad, what's she doing? She doesn't know where to go!"
"OHMYGOD please shut up i'm trying to think!"
This added so much to the immersion of the game.
Should you buy this?
The length of the game for me was under 8 hours, so if you equate time to worth then I guess this isn't for you.
I've seen this described as a walking simulator and I would have to agree... I don't think that's a bad thing (for me at least) but I can see why others wouldn't want that.
It is ultimately a continuation of a story, it's not going to have 20 hours of fetch quests or a skill tree but you should know that before you buy it.
