eurogamer gave Hellblade 2 a perfect score, saying, “Hellblade 2 continues Senua's story with grace, confidence, stunning ferocity, and thunderous conviction.”
Eurogamer isn't the only one who felt Ninja Theory's long-awaited sequel deserved a perfect score. Xbox era They also gave the game a perfect score and said: “Despite the backing of large and well-funded companies like Microsoft, I think Ninja Theory has cultivated an independent spirit and keeps it firmly and truly alive in every aspect. Brutal. . Breathtaking. Awesome. If this is “Independent AAA” then please sign up for more. ”
Game Radar+ felt the same way and said: Rather than studiously avoiding its heavy themes, Ninja Theory welcomes them with a well-honed empathy, this time tempered by an even sharper creative edge, creating a forgettable story that's hard to watch but hard to look away from. Provides an adventure experience with no story. ”
Some reputable sites like Game Informer give Hellblade 2 a score of 9 out of 10. game informer “Senua's Saga: Hellblade II ends on another strong note. At first I was hesitant to continue Senua's story, but I'm excited to see her conquer new monsters, both literally and figuratively. I walked away satisfied with what I saw, and I'm glad that Ninja Theory avoided the temptation to blow this formula up into something bigger than it needed to be. This is more than God of War on Xbox. Good Hellblade. The first game is a famous example of how it doesn't have to be fun in the traditional sense to be engaging. This sequel brings thoughtful storytelling and art that few triple-A games have. It maintains its sexuality, but sprinkles in a wider range of appealing thrills.”
However, the game's Metacritic score has been dragged down by less favorable reviews from media outlets such as GameSpot.
game spot “Given the new naming convention, the use of 'Saga' in the Hellblade 2 title, and Microsoft's acquisition of developer Ninja Theory following the success of Senua's Sacrifice, it seems as if Hellblade is going to be a series. It seems like there is. It's a staple of Xbox's first-party lineup. That said, at this point, we don't know exactly where this series is headed, if not box office. There are many games that prove that games can be art, but some studios, like Hollywood cribs, are so focused on proving it in a certain way that games I see some games that are afraid of that. There's too much focus on the movie and too much focus on creating an engaging experience, and Senua's Saga never reaches the same heights as its predecessor, even if it looks spectacular when it tries. can not. ”
Judging by the reviews, those who enjoyed the first game will probably find a lot to like in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. However, many will be worried about the future of developer Ninja Theory as a whole if this game is not deemed a success by Microsoft.
Microsoft recently closed four studios that were part of Bethesda, including Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, which produced Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall, respectively. Gamers will be hoping that Ninja Theory doesn't suffer the same fate, but the best way to ensure that doesn't happen is for him to go out and give Hellblade 2 a try.
