Why Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is The Game of the Year | Xbox Series X Review
Ойындар
Embark on a dark and profound journey with me as I review 'Hellblade 2,' a game that has not only captivated me with its stunning narrative and visuals but has also earned the title of my Game of the Year. In this video, I'll dissect the elements that make Senua's Saga: Hellblade II' a standout title, from its immersive storytelling and breathtaking graphics to the nuanced portrayal of its protagonist, Senua. Discover why this sequel surpasses expectations and sets a new benchmark for what video games can achieve in terms of storytelling, art, and emotional impact."
Microsoft did provide me with a review copy and only asked that I disclose as much and use the hashtag #GiftFromXbox

Finally.. somebody that understand what this game is about! Kudos! Only thing missing is.. an arena with endless fights! I would have loved that as an Extra :D

*I would've loved a Survival mode of sorts for those of us who enjoy pure combat* 👌

Let’s not rule out an event in the future. Games get updated now. Hell, an achievement for a permadeath iron completion would be interesting.

What combat? The three times you enter into 1 v 1 rock paper scissors? Combat is Elden Ring. This game had zero combat system depth…. It was a movie roller coaster that didn’t even conclude anything or move the needle story wise
When gaming meets art.
Hellblade 2 is a Seamless Cinematic Experience! A Masterpiece Technical Spectacle!
Masterpiece...

Huh?
It’s a boring underdeveloped movie not a game… like 4 puzzles, 3 combat moments and that’s it…beat it in 6 hours dude…it’s 70% movie 20% walking sim then 10% combat. Dude your review is biased…it’s demo at best and NOT CONCLUDED STORY ARC. It’s not a game…

@@stewardappiagyei6982 I'm an xbox fan boy and definitely played the first one when it released then proceeded to anticipate this one only to finally play it with complete disappointment.
GOTY? lol delusional. It’s a flop and has worse numbers than the first.

You could try actually playing it instead of looking at Steam charts for a game that’s mostly going to played on Game Pass.

This isn't my kind of "game" but its obvious the Sony boys, the sony stans in the press are going after the game because its an Xbox owned exclusive. When this was a sony exclusive they were shilling for the first game the likes of which we have never seen.

I first came across it seeing @ReviewTechUSA using it as unrelated footage for some diatribe. I was like, wow but guess I won’t be playing that because it’s with PS4. That sure has changed.

Pure delusion here, this was literally the only game i was looking forward to, but there zero innovation to this game, like how do you go backwards from even the simplistic combat the 1st one had, this was an experience not game

@@VaughnJogVlog Yep the clear narrative switch is real.
…get captured…decide to narratively kill giant…fight evil man…the end… it’s not even a story…there is no depth to this title…it’s an emotional theme park ride…that’s it… with ZERO player agency
Paid promoter, he disclaimed that the moment he said he had an early release copy… it’s not a game anyone with sense can see that in the first 1 hour of walking…the puzzle was literally as simple as put the square in the square hole etc you are out of your mind if you think graphics can boost this demo to being “great or GOTY” 🤦♂️

I didn’t receive any money, nor did I get to play it before I would with my Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which I’ve had for about 5 years. Take your L with you.

@@VaughnJogVlog take my L with me lol bro...the game is an L for the player base. Hellblade II does not hold a candle light to Hellblade I. Anyone attempting spin this as a game is delusional. You aren't even being critical toward the game whatsoever. I'm not Sony fan boy or anything of the sorts, but someone that expected 5-7 years of development time along with more than four times the dev team size to have establish something far better than the prior installment... Tell me what was the best part of the story? lmao...go on
