Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Review

  • With Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Ninja Theory sticks to the blueprint set by the first game very closely, delivering an audiovisual tour de force with an incredibly affecting story, and largely simplistic and basic gameplay and design.
    Mechanically, the game does not compare to any other major peer in the genre - but if you come to these games for the story and for the spectacle, then Ninja Theory and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will deliver something unforgettable that will truly deliver the rare kind of next generation moment that used to be all too common to consoles not too long ago, and is largely lost to diminishing returns by this point.
    Though surprisingly straightforward areas, in others, Hellblade 2 is an unabashed masterpiece.

    Linear and scarce is the cure to the over saturation of open worlds packed with filler and as such are almost unable to convey a compelling narrative and characters. Few exceptions like the goats, Witcher 3, RDR2, and BOTW, but Hellblade nails a truly cinematic and engrossing experience like no other game before or since. Been hyped for the sequel since it was announced quite a few years ago

    I don't get the obsession with open worlds. The game having a linear gameplay that restricts you to a critical path is a plus for me. I like it when single player games have a strong narration and are tightly staged. An open world game can never achieve the same level of storytelling because it doesn't know where the player goes and what they do. That's the very nature of the open world.

    I was reading an article the other day. Titled games aren't fun anymore. And I was thinking I have fun playing games. But as I thought about it more and more. I get a bit what they were saying. Watching this review helped me understand. The reviewer seems to like the game. But he didn't seem to enjoy or have fun playing the game. And when it came to the pros of the game. None of them were so called fun. He touted technical things as the best parts of the game. Sometimes I think reviews get lost because they're have an idea of the technical side of games. And try to incorporate that. But in doing so I think they lose sight of one of the most important things about the game. Will I enjoy it. Will I have fun?

    I feel like after over 4 years of production only to last less than 7 hours in a single playthrough and most of it being cutscenes would kinda disappoint me. It sounds more like a tech demo for what UE5 can do in terms of visually immersive storytelling. At least it’s selling for $50, so maybe that kinda makes up for it. Guess people who buy it should tame their expectations and go in knowing it’s more of an interactive movie than anything else.

      Just play the game, different people will have different experiences with it.
      I've enjoyed it a lot just like I did the first one and I've clocked around 10 hours in both games, just simply playing and sometimes slowing down to enjoy the carefully crafted scenery and scenes - it's just simply that beautiful and extremely detailed.
      The story and gameplay may not be for everyone and that is fine but it's definitely not 5 hours for most regular players.
      Looking on steam the average playtime for people that finished it is in between 7 and 10 hours which is pretty much exactly the same as the first game.

    I'm happy this is more of the same, if I want a open world I play gta, or red dead or even ghost of tsushima. I prefer a cinematic story driven game. Open worlds are so saturated right now, just a big open space with nothing to do, it ends becoming a linear story but with much more point A to point B travel and back tracking.

      I don't need or want bigger levels that shower me with activities and distract me from the main story. I don't need or want complex combat mechanics, I enjoyed them as they were.
      Why the insistence on changing things when there's clearly a lot of players who liked those.

      This channel is actually being very gentle and giving the game a higher score than what it merits, because NO ONE wants to see Ninja Theory getting shut... But if the game is exactly the same with better graphics, it has to be said 🤷🏻‍♂️ as many people make their purchases based on reviews and if this channel praises only and don't mention the obvious, it may get a horrible user review for expecting more.

    This will again prove the gamepass model isn’t a sustainable one for developers. As honestly, who will buy this digitally at full price when you can finish it on a sunday afternoon without any real replay value?
