Sink deep into the next chapter of Senua’s story, a crafted experience told through cinematic immersion, beautifully realised visuals and encapsulating sound.
Check out our review of the first game over here, with a bit of a snippet below to catch your interest.
“Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice mostly lives up to the initial praise it received. It is an incredibly impactful game with a great story, great character acting, amazing-looking visuals, impeccable sound design, and fun combat. The game could have used a bit more time in the oven with some of its gameplay mechanics, especially the puzzles, but those are relatively minor gripes when I reminisce on my overall journey with the game.
“Hellblade is simply a great experience, and after finishing it for the very first time recently, I am even more excited for Hellblade II. The game is available on Game Pass, so if you haven’t taken the journey to Hellheim yet or want a quick refresher before the sequel releases on May 21st, it’s a game I fully recommend.”
