The release date for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was announced during the Xbox Developer Direct presentation, and after, Ninja Theory provided more information on the game's development.

In the developer video, we learn more about Senua's journey, which leads her to Iceland, ravaged by myth and tyranny. A look at Senua's experiences of the world, seen through her eyes as someone who experiences psychosis, is also shown along with visceral and violent battles with the Draugar.

Looking forward to this.

The combat looks absolutely amazing and the story looks better laid out and easier to follow than the first game.

Obviously it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Available tomorrow.

I was fairly gripped by the audio atmosphere in Senua 1. The gameplay was pretty basic enough and the visuals were good, but with a good set of headphones it was a very immersive experience.

Looking forward to the second installment.

Not played it yet but the reviews are mixed. Some are really good. Some not so much. They say the game, like the original, has a very poor understanding of mental health issues with the typical voices in the head and hallucinations tropes. The visuals and sound seem to be top-notch though.

I've played for about 45 minutes in, think I'm about halfway through Chapter 2 and just about to battle some Draugar. It is gorgeous.

"Enjoying" it so far but much like the first one it creeps the hell out of me.

Yep! It's the best looking console game I've ever played. The atmosphere is incredible and the graphics are mega. Fighting also feels weighty again which is great.

Most of the reviews I've read say that it's more of the original with some significant graphics and sound upgrades and decent gameplay upgrades

Seems to go for more cinematic feel than core gameplay

If you liked the first you'll probably like this one. If you didn't enjoy the first one then you'll almost certainly hate this one

I think Ninja Theory should be applauded for keeping the gameplay and story tight and not creating another open world grindathon requiring 40+ hours of forgettable quests to accomplish the basic story

This has really grown on me. I am starting the 3rd chapter of 6 . I don't have any negative comments about the game so far. Just shows you reviews can put you off but need play the game and see for yourself.

On a 65 inch OLED with headphones it's something else.

Finished it tonight. Powerful stuff. Not a huge amount of gameplay in there and combat Is repetitive and not that intuitive but the overall experience was well worth my time.
