“Infinitely better than the previous game I mostly like games for the stories and enjoy easy combat. First game's story was sweet but this one definitely gave me more of a thrill.”

“Hellblade 2 is a short game, but those combat sequences hit hard — rhythm-based fights set to ritual techno that somehow makes every clash feel visceral and brutal in a way I didn’t expect. Genuinely got under my skin.…”

“CROSSOVER REVIEW FOR THE LAZY: 5/5, runs like native, just really excellent compatibility and optimization. 2k, medium fx, high textures, DLSS balanced, ~40-60fps firing on all cyclinders as God intended on an MBP M4…”
“This game was top of the line! I played it ages ago but I’m only jsut seeing others are hating on it. This game is around 5-7 hours. The graphics are best to date. Amazing story. Very well optimised. Gory and fun…”

“[h1][i]“Well, what’s my fault that you’ve written a drama?”[/i] ~Anton Chekhov[/h1] [b]Hellblade[/b] was many things. It was a stylish psychological presentation, it was an art, it was anything else you want to call it.…”

“I WANT to like this game. I REALLY do. Because I LOVED the first one (in VR). But I have to force myself to keep playing. Why? Because this is a movie that clumsily tries to be a game. See, I love my narrative-heavy…”

“idk if I can recommend this game. It definitely looks gorgeous, the voice acting/acting is superb and it has it's very epic/emotional moments but its very short and all the walking was boring me to tears. How an 8 hour…”

“The game is a very short cinematic experience. Scripted fights, short easy puzzles, very linear. 6 hours in length, and that isn't rushing. So not worth the £50 price tag. This is one of those £32.99 games that you…”
“The first one was so good. This one is a money grab. The game is not fun. Combat is terrible. Even on sale at a massive discount, don't waste your money.”
“If you like walking for 80% of the game, you will have no problem with this. I has a good storyline and is unique but it is not a game I can see anyone playing over and over as it is all about the story..... Game play…”

“After 9h - the game ended. I got bored somewhere around hour 5. It's just a tech demo and a gimmick. First game was revolutionary. Second is just a cash grab. And having top tier gaming machine in 2026 and experiencing…”
“I thought I took too much mescaline but then I remembered ,,oh yeah, I'm playing Senua" :) Stunning game with best face mapping I have EVER seen in my life, show me I dare you I double dare you a game where faces are…”
“The gameplay isn't as innovative as the first game, but still had a great time with this one. The performances and music are amazing, and the game has a fantastic look and atmosphere. Admittedly there are large sections…”

“Hellblade II is one of those games you feel more than you play. The visuals are insane, the sound design gets in your head (literally), and Senua’s performance is so raw it’s uncomfortable in the best way. The combat and puzzles are pretty simple and the pace is slow, so don’t…”
