Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review & OT "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword".

[Darth Vader]

I recommending changing the dodge to "B" and block to "LB". Block as "RB" just feels weird. Also, sometimes you don't realize you can move because there isn't that cutscene to player pause or camera motion. If you feel like you have been sitting there too long, it means you need to push your stick forward. not buying this excuse for a game and invest the money or time in other activities or games

Fixed it there for you.

Had I not cancelled my Game Pass in response to the Tango and Arkane Austin closures I’d probably be playing this. Guess I’ll never know what this game is like, at least not until it hits $10*

* - inside a Humble Bundle, 5 months from now.

Ok

So after 6 years it's a worse game than the first?

Ending sounds awful. Only two big set pieces one of which has already been revealed. No boss battles either. He doesn't recommend buying it or signing up to GamePass to play it and suggests it's included with the console as a tech demo like Astrobot:

This so called breakdown has been happening since the Xbox One days. Guy is a lunatic.

If only people had been this kind to The Order... 7+ years of development for 5.5h of gameand simplistic combat? What a comple joke.

I was also messing around with the photo mode this morning while playing. It's pretty feature rich, and you can use it at anytime during the game that I have seen so far. It allows you to choose characters in the mode as well.

Everything points out to another studio that just cashed in and was pretty much exploiting MS bad management for 7 years.

These idiots are so thick , they were literally saying hellblade 2 would be better than the first because of being under Microsoft & having a big budget

 

[Would_you_kindly]

It's the tax guys

@Bryank75 can we please unban VFXVeteran aka Frozone for a few days?

But Astro bot was incredible, and more than a glorified tech demo.

This made me chuckle

 

[DForce]

Xbox fanboys on twitter crying Xbox Tax again.

They're not satisfied unless all Xbox games score around a 90 on MC.

It's the Xbox/MS effect. Everything they touch turns into shit sooner or later.

 

[BLAZE]

Is it true that the game has an entire chapter where you just walk around and the game has more than 3 hours of cinematics?

 

[Ezekiel]

You can play the first third of the game for free on Steam (refund before 2 hours).

This looks worse than I imagined.

Time for Ninja Theory devs to brush up their CVs.

You light up torches for an hour according to Matty's review.
