Hellblade 2s characters are un matched. It's seriously ahead of tge competition. I think DS2 will have better looking areas, perhaps?
The skin shader on ds2 is last gen, it doesn't look much different from the first but that had great character mocap anyway. Just doesn't beat out hb2 imo.
Looks better i'd say. And this is the last year build.
True that in motion though the mo-cap and direction do the heavy lifting though.
