    One thing that pisses me off is that Xbox fans are applauding this game because it's sooooo cinematic, but would crap on PS for that exact reason. I literally saw a tweet praising "the glorified loading screen" and saying that what's happening in front of him is not a cutscene but would crap on the newer GoW games for it. At least with the latest GoW games, their combat is still engaging and has this playful feeling, making it still feel like a DAMN game. Hellblade 2, from what I've seen, is the exact game they should be crapping on, but since it's on Xbox, they applaud it.

    Honestly fair critique. I'm still gonna play the game for myself since I was a huge fan of the first game. However, a problem that worries me the most is what you said about the puzzles. In the first game, the gameplay was very surface-level level as it was meant to break up big story moments and help you really get into Senua's head. The combat wasn't very complex because there wasn't much of it so it didn't really need to be. So the fact that the second game hasn't made any big improvements while disappointing doesn't really bother me. What does though is the puzzles because the first game had some really cool and unique puzzles and made up half of the gameplay. So if the puzzles are boring, easy or just not fun to solve then for me at least it is going to massively impact my enjoyment of the sequel.
    I will edit this comment later down the line when I eventually play it and share my thoughts. Also pour one out for my bois at Tango Gameworks for making one of my personal favorite games of 2023.

    I played the first game a few years back and thought it had some decent puzzles, interesting story and environments but hated the paper-thin, boring combat. The only reason I finished it was for the story which I remember liking but barely remember now. I was really excited for this game when it was announced because it seemed like a huge opportunity to fix the combat while expanding upon the story. But instead we just got more of the same just with a fresh coat of paint and puzzles that are somehow worse.

Literally everything is worse than HB1 in this game, even the voices in her head. These voices are now "audio yellow paint". I mean they have a 1 hour section were you light up torches in a fking 5 hour long game... their puzzles are way worse and just pure filler content to hide the fact that the game would be about 3 hours long without all of their filler shit in... again... a 5 hour long game. Dont get me started on gameplay on itself. The combat is horribble, it looks really cool but thats literally it.

    People argue that without Xbox Sony wouldn’t try new things, but right now I’d say VR and Portal are those unique things they are trying.
    Their successes are questionable but they at least are trying it from a hardware side of things.
    I say this as someone who don’t care for VR, I get motion sickness so I can’t even use it so I don’t give a fk about it, but total on the other hand, I dig.
    I understand that the total might be a prototype for a potential actual handheld hardware akin to vita which I also love and still have for those last gen indies and classic games (rpgs primarily).

      The way they've handled VR doesn't seem that way and it detracts from the more important developments and the Portal is just a game stream device that doesn't even work outside of the house. It would unironically be more cost effective and a better gaming experience to just buy another TV

Weirder still is that Ninja Theory have done action games in the past, so they should have a solid grasp of combat design.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Hellblade series is like someone took all of the big criticisms about Last of Us, Nu-God of War and MGS 4 and made it into a full game (well, as "full" as a five-hour game can be.)

      @@C0LIN. Saying 80% of the game is combat and exploration is being super generous. The game is 25 hours long, but you can play all the combat encounters in less than 4.
      The rest of the gameplay is comprised by "exploration" with a singular path and zero thought required from the player.
      I don't take in consideration roguelike or multiplayer modes because I don't play them in story driven games.
      The first game I give a pass in how litle it demands from the player because the story is simple but very well told and the characters are great. In the second game the characters are unlikeable cunts and the story is absolute nonsense, it wants to make so grand statement about cycles of violence when in reality the only "moral" it teaches is that if you're going to kill someone, leave no witnesses behind.

      The game is only 25 hours long if u play on lower difficulties, when u play on grounded or survivor it’s 28-30 hours for most ppl. And let’s say hypothetically it was only 25 hours, there’s objectively only around 4.5 hours of cutscenes (which u can skip most of) and around 2 hours of walky talky stuff. 6.5/25 = 26% of the game… So you’re objectively wrong.
      Also saying only 4 hours of the game is combat is just lying, and the exploration is more than what u describe it the levels are huge combat encounters can be tackled in many different ways and exploration have more than just a small linear path. And you have countless environmental puzzles that extremely important to do on higher difficulties.
      And I don’t care what YOU take into account, objectively you have to consider other games modes as they’re part of the game.

    HellBlade 2 is a great game, stop shitting on it and give it a fair review.
    This game has its flaws, especially with the gameplay being lacking, but it is still a fun experience.
    Just like how you defended Spider-Man 2, maybe give the same treatment to this game. If anything, this is a very good game, with a good story.
    Like half of guys commenting about how bad this game is, haven't even played it.
    And sometimes after a long day, don't you just wanna have a fun story experience, not every game needs to have a complicated combat system. In Spider-Man 2 for example, for most of the game I was just mashing buttons, seriously that's all you gotta do most of the time, it doesn't make it unfun.
    Now onto the layoffs. This is an industry wide problem, literally every tech company has been laying off its employees, even Sony layed off 10% of its workforce for that matter.
    And these people that have come now praising hi-fi rush after xbox shut the studio down, are the same people that never bought the game, never played it. You gotta see that Xbox suffered a great loss with Hi-Fi rush. Now I am in no way supporting these layoffs, but if you wanna complain maybe criticize all these companies that are laying off employees ,not just xbox.
    Basically what I am trying to say is every single fucking gaming company sucks, but people only criticize one. I don't understand why people d*ckride these corporations when they don't matter to them. We lost the true purpose of games, which was to have fun. Now every game has to have amazing beatiful graphics , complicated combat like elden ring, and so on.

    This idea Microsoft is moving out of gaming over exclusives is hilarious. They license Minecraft which is itself a larger franchise than most of Sony's gaming franchises put together. It's not like 3rd parties weren't the reason Microsoft managed to cinch the 360 generation because the competition ditched the 3rd parties with the PS3's cell processor and the Wii's motion controls only Nintendo could succeed with.
    GTA and CoD sales dwarf most other game sales, that's the reason why these companies haven't given up on the console market which has been stagnating since the Playstation 2's highest selling console of all time stat... 10+ years ago! Nobody cares! It's all moving to mobile gaming and we're getting left behind, mostly also because people are realizing that consoles are and always have been terrible and buying an overpriced gaming PC is actually where it's at and these people usually don't pay for games instead of sailing the high seas if you know what I mean.

    As for hellblade 2. It's hilarious that certain ponies are trying to make out this was supposed to be a huge mega AAA game thst was going to be a god of war killed!😂😂😂
    It's a AA game that is also a very niche game! Having completed hellblade one and hellblade two, it's safe to say that the second one is what I expected.
    And the hilarious thing is the people who loved the first game, are slagging off hellblade 2, slagging off the things that they loved in the first game.

      Simulators flight/racers
      Arcade racers
      RTS Games
      Rythem games
      Multiplayer action adventure
      Narrative rpg
      Dungeon crawler

      1st person shooters
      Western rpgs
      Multiplayer shooters
      Action strategy
      Sure I'm missing some out. End of thd day, I think the games on xbox are better this gen. Only two games released on ps5 this gen I would played/would play is returnal and god of war. That's it. Not interested in remakes and remasters, especially if its FF which I cannot stand. But my favourite games this gen, so far have been on xbox.
      Ps4 has shooters, unique games like little big planet and dreams along side their 3rd person action adventure games. Where are these games this gen? Where is the playstation that took chances with games? That has gone in my opinion.
