Funny how we're free to walk around, Still our feet are forced to walk the ground, Even when we die, We're deeper down, Down.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is the only game I have ever completed more than once. That matters, because my second playthrough completely changed how I understood the game. One of the most common criticisms of Hellblade II is that it is a "walking simulator" with shallow combat and too little player agency. I understand where that impression comes from, but after playing it again I think it is an extremely unfair...
A great narrative experience where also combat phases play like a huge part of a script. The whole work feels more like a film than a game, with an incredible graphic and audio design. Like the first chapter the game is very short, but slow paced. Puzzles are less repetitive but not really inspired. I also felt like the Senua's psychosis was better represented in the first game.
