Digital Foundry:
"Even we had to do a double-take with this one! Just how did developer QLOC manage to make Hellblade on Switch look so close to the PS4 version of the game? John and Rich - with an assist from Tom - get to grips with the port and how it manages to deliver its sometimes remarkable visuals."
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice gets a free PS5 upgrade with a 12.4 GB download size, launching alongside Hellblade II.
Admittedly, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is far from perfect and won't be a game for everyone, but now with a multitude of accessibility options it has made itself much more palatable for a wider audience, and with constant sale prices between $2-$4, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is too good to pass up for a unique experience that has stood the test of time and will do so once more with its even more robust and epic sequel.
The Hellblade games looked nice but they were essentially walking simulators with a minimal amount of combat tracked on.
At long last, it’s about time they upgraded it !
I didn’t like hellblade 2 at all, which lost all its mystery and originality in this graphically superb but extremely boring sequel. But I loved the first one. And I was pretty annoyed it was stuck on ps4 version on ps5. Bugs and didn’t run that well.
Now I’m going to play it all over again !!! In its nicest version on PlayStation.

It is an impressive port but it makes sense that the Switch's cutscenes would be pre rendered unlike the PS4. I think I would still prefer PS4 version but really nice port overall.
Hugely Impressive. Wonder what sort of visuals the Switch could provide if it was pushed to its limit with a game like this from the ground up.
I don't know how you couldn't be impressed by a portable version of hellblade.
Think developers are getting better at developing for the switch now. Panic Button in particular stand out with their work on Wolfenstein and DOOM for Bethesda
its a visually stunning game, I wonder why they didn't compare it to the xbox versions also, its on gamespass.
I remember first playing this, I was like WOW, because I knew, it was a small studio that made it. Fantastic looking, Nintendo Switch, is the little hybrid that could. I have purchased so many games I already own, just to be able to play them on the go. Stick of Truth, Fractured but Whole, Doom, Skyrim, Mario Kart 8, BOTW, and more, all so I can play anywhere anytime.
