Looks really good but all I've seen is a string of QTEs. Much simpler to go for higher fidelity when its a linear pathway. Most games these days go for openish worlds settings, i.e. you can't expect Elden Ring to have this texture fidelity. Also half the environments are "obscured" by fog/clouds. I would rather bring up the artistic direction that greatly aids the visual look they went for, but the textures themselves are also amazing.

Luke Stephen's is one of the worst reviewers on this platform, he plays both sides, doesn't do enough research or play the game enough, constantly makes errors in his reviews. I dont understand why I keep seeing people reccomend his videos as I thought it was pretty universally agreed he sucks.

They really are pushing to make games fully interactive movies aren't they, and the transition between cut scenes and gameplay is pretty seamless. The water/waves looked a bit janky though... Not sure why because everything else is mind-blowing. For my taste, it's too cinematic, too many cut scenes and a predetermined route through the gameplay (based on this evidence) but it looks amazing.

@pluesch.

Yeah, it's barely a game at this point and all it has going for it are graphics, which aren't that amazing either if you look at the stiff animations and especially the hilariously bad water for example. I guess if someone is easily impressed by superficial things like graphics and buys games purely based on visuals then that's cool, but personally I'm getting real tired of these types of interactive movies.

To summarize, it is the most beautiful game of this generation across all platforms, with an unparalleled visual and auditory immersion, brutal combat, and epic scenes. Personally, it’s everything I was hoping for. Regarding the lack of exploration and linearity, it seems logical; I don't see how one could expect both in this type of game. The day we can play an open-world or semi-open-world game with this level of quality might come with the next generation, but that's not what I was expecting from Hellblade 2 anyway.

Yeah, the water looks hilariously bad for a game that tries to push graphics so hard. I also find the animations in general rather stiff and jarring if you compare them to the game's overall visuals. Like at around 1:25 directly in the beginning, where the enemy attacks and suddenly snaps into the blocking animation before he gets turned around, patiently waiting to get executed. Or when she hands the guy the axe at 2:50, when it briefly jitters into place. Don't know, but it feels off and kind of jarring honestly.

This is the future of gaming. The audio, the visuals: incredible. It's nice to finally see something of value developed using Unreal Engine 5. That being said the one thing I'm gonna nit-pick at, and I'm not the only one, is the water visuals. The water looks really bad in this game. I wonder if they had to sacrifice that to build other features. That one scene starting at 18:20 where she sprints from rock to rock with the waves crashing down is what I'm talking about.

I got four hours into it today. This is the true first “AAAA Game”

That's just beautiful

Reminded me the first time I played The Order 1886 on ps4

Why does the display ratio look like a movie? The screen is super wide and cuts off below and above. Is that just Jack's settings?

This game looks absolutely mental, in every possible way.

I'd like the way that the enemy are waiting for you to slash him at the back 0:42

looking forward to this.

is there a way to turn off the voices? i already have enough in my head

This was actually so beautiful.
