Senua's Saga: Hellblade II (PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5) (May 21, 2024) (Hellblade II Enhanced coming August 12, 2025)

[Insensitive]

This game is great so far. Intro is very Naughty Dog-ish.
I can see how someone would say the puzzles are a step back but I would say just barely.
The last game wasn't exactly filled with super hard puzzles.

The chromatic aberration and lack of color in the first chapter is ROUGH though.


I do think this game puts to bed that "This can't possible be running on console!" shyt though.

I thought that you disliked the original game

Reviews make no sense.

As a walking simulator it’s pretty much the best of the best in that genre. 10/10

Compared to other games, there’s no way in hell this should be getting a similar score to stuff like starfield or dragons dogma. Should be a 6/10

What do these review scores even mean anymore

I thought that you disliked the original game

I thought the graphics and story were good, but the gameplay was extremely shallow and i hated the puzzles.

Seems the same here.

Nothing wrong with a good walking simulator, but the game should be reviewed as such.

No way it should even be being compared to full AAA games.

I hear you. They could've improved the combat. Not saying that it's bad, but it looks extremely pedestrian

At the facial expressions and graphics during the fight scene. Microsoft need to give them unlimited check on their next game

Why do you think it shouldn’t be compared to other AAA games?

And for some reason my post got fukked up but @Leasy yeah the animations look mos def top notch

Why do you think it shouldn’t be compared to other AAA games?

Because other games are actually trying to be fun. Give you hours more content. Lots more replayability etc.

This is a very specific type of experience.

No exaggerating bro. This graphics is the shyt I expected when these new systems were announced years ago. This shyt is truly amazing bro. I been gaming for over 3 decades and this shyt just jaw dropping.

The Xbox tax gotta end because if this was a Sony title my god the media.

The gameplay is what I expected and I don’t have a problem with it. The fighting is cool to me and the level of immersion is there due to the graphics/animation.

Seven years of development and multiple centerpiece trailers at major gaming shows for years. They definitely sold this game to audiences as AAA.

Lotta games have trailers at shows.

Game cost $40 and has no physical version. Was made by a very small team.

It quite literally is not a AAA game.

 

[daze23]

it's $50
