Hellblade 2 has great presentation, and that includes more than graphics.
Senua's story continues on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
Thanks to a brand new Enhanced Edition we're now able to enjoy Hellblade 2 at 60fps on console - addressing a criticism of the original release. This upgrade lands on Xbox Series X, and also coincides with the game's debut for PS5 consoles - where PS5 Pro in particular stands out for its offering of two upscaling modes. We test every mode and platform here - plus Steam Deck - with extra insight into how it was all achieved courtesy of a trip to Ninja Theory's studio.
The game was great looking to begin with. I can't quite tell what was cut to improve the performance, but its now even better playing.
Per video:
PS5 Pro - has best performance (stable 60fps), resolution, and maintains most visual effects utilized in quality mode even in performance mode. Also can switch between TSR and PSSR upscaling tech. Both upscalers require a lower base resolution to reach an upscaled 4K presentation on the Pro.
Series X - has 2nd best resolution and worst performance, but dips from 60fps are minor and are in the VRR range. Some visual effect reduction in performance mode when compared to quality mode.
Base PS5 has the lowest resolution, has the 2nd best performance with very minor dips from 60fps. As such, any dips also fall within the VRR range. Some visual effect reduction in performance mode when compared to quality mode.
Looking at gameplay videos, I don't think I've ever seen games as boring as Hellblade and Hellblade 2.
I’m Melina from Ninja Theory, the actress who plays Senua in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
I’m beyond excited to finally share that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II has arrived on PlayStation 5. It’s been a long, intense, and deeply personal journey, and bringing this sequel to PlayStation truly feels like coming home.
74 user score on meta. I wouldn't say it includes much more.
Let it die already. Nobody cares...they should have expanded the games systems
Yeah and many games before it have done what it did and more. Why are we impressed by features that have been standard in many games before? Sites are gonna keep up these fluff pieces for a while longer while everyone has already moved onto some indie game that costs less, took less time to make and does more with gameplay. So many games have been killed off by negative reviews and negative opinion pieces for being more of less like Hellblade 2, but nah this one's special.
It dosent even go beyond beyond its mediocre combat.
Graphics will get outdated in a mere two years.
And there is no combat system to hold it up.
I hope NT show their next game Project Mara in the coming showcase
