Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced coming to PS5 this summer

I watched the first hour on Youtube. I liked the first Hellblade back in 2017, but this one just doesn't draw me in. It feels like suffer porn. And the internal voices don't sound schizophrenic anymore but rather a mix of supportive/guiding and a generic internal critic - which isn't psychotic but actually more like garden-variety neurotic with some trauma thrown in (although exaggerated). They even use the voices to convey direction to the player - "Now she has to climb the ledge," that sort of thing.

Maybe she got some good therapy and medication between games. I'm happy for her. But it just doesn't have the same psychotic feeling that the first game did - at least not the portion I played - er, watched.
 
Hellblade 2 combat looks much more intriguing than this. This looks horrendous and just sold me on NOT playing DS2

I mean, now you're just being a contrarian/inflammatory just for the sake of doing so
Don't care about combat depth. It's all about the feeling for me. It's why I prefer TLOU2 combat over Devil May Cry

Two games that have fuck all to do with each other, you might as well be comparing an orange to a bicycle, and some of you wonder why people can't take some opinions seriously.

We get it, you want to "stick it to the man" (or shall I say "ponies®") but this ain't it.
