It's genuinely a great game, and it's odd I've put off playing this game for so long.

The worlds are very unusual, the burnt areas, the friends in your head are constantly chattering, I know the story thanks to god of war Ragnarok lol (Sutar, helium, other Norse mythology lore etc.) and Hellblade just shows you the power of these consoles.

I have played puzzles in games right, these puzzles don't take long at all.

The way games are made today it's amazing Hellblade stayed away from everything, where it was strange to not be "collecting" or "upgrading" something.



What did GAF think of Hellblade 1?

 

[Fahdis]

It was a good game. But by the end I was so good with the sword fighting I decided to just keep it going for 15 minutes for the heck of it .

Two question bump

1) is Hellblade about pain and suffering? Trying to understwnd

2) is Hellblade 2 worth playing or avoid

Absolutely those swordsman enemies are something else, no matter what they remind me of stalfos from ocarina of time

it was a audio-visual novelty of its time, barely a game.
somehow they managed to release a sequel, that even less of a game 8 years later.

It came out in 2017.
Haven't played it, but if it's like the second one I know I won't like it.

Same. Although, one of the reviewers who loved the first, hated the second said 2 lost what made the first game special in regards to Senua's dealing with mental illness. In the second game, the voices in her head were just in the background and she largely ignored. I can see how that would make a difference.

Better than the second. Still a good looking game for it's age too!
