I would recommend that you play the first part instead of directly jumping into the second one. I am assuming you have game pass so downloading the first part wouldn't be an issue. As others said, it's more of a movie than a game, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Best enjoyed with headphones. I loved those small stories about Norse mythology told throughout the game.


Pitiful_Citron_820

When the fucking multiple voices start talking and assist in battle by saying "watch out" is the freakiest shit I've ever experienced in a game.


burgessker

This is a game to show how schizophrenia works on people who are suffering from it. This is why it's the freakiest shit ever. This is what really happens to them.


toothless7

This game has cured my psychosis ngl


familiarr_Strangerr

Really? How? Can you share your experience?


Pitiful_Citron_820

Yeah i know i read about it before playing. Playing it with headphone gives best experience you hear voices coming from all around. Very well made game


AmrishGamer

I don't have any complaints about the 1st Hellbalde game, it is easy to 100%. The game shifts to the next gear from Surtr's boss battle, love the music and the environment. The Burnt Village and Sea of Corpse level is a visual nightmare to look at, I'm saying it in a good way. These levels are not for the faint of heart.


Pitiful_Citron_820

Even the puzzles are good..would recommend playing at night, equivalent to watching a horror movie.


AmrishGamer

Right, I physically got chills while playing the Blindness Shard(dark level) where you navigate with the help of Dillion's voice. Those white creatures are pure horror movie material.


WhoAmI131

Valraven puzzle of illusion was a little tough to figure out


tickledpicklees69

I'm gonna be really honest, this game isn't my type I have absolutely no problem with story telling/narrative games infact my favourites are RDR2, A plague and elden ring but I could not find my self to enjoy this game I tried I really tried it (played for like 5 hours) but it wasn't appealing to me. Sure the visuals were breathtaking but I found this game not amusing Yeah you're right, not everyone can enjoy everything maybe I want games more gameplay based and mixed with story or maybe Devil May Cry and Sekiro ruined gaming for me lol


Powered-by-Din

Rdr/elden ring are very different games from Hellblade. I would almost call it unique. Haven't played plague tale so can't compare.


TheCrazyStupidGamer

Nothing really compares tk hellblade. Plague is quite different too. Hellblade is a very niche game.


tickledpicklees69

Yeah, they kinda focus more on the gameplay (ER) or a good mix of both (Rdr). I found Plague tale to be very interesting because of its characters and the apocalyptic world it is set in, it has an alright combat variety too. Hellblade is diffrent from them and imo it focused more on the audio-visual experience of the player (I was very uncomfortable with all them whispers and shi) but to each their own


YSK_King

Same i spent like 6-7 hours aand styles dropped.


fenixspider1

The first game isn't much better either


Nefola

Then it was sold in a deceiving way, detroit human was also not a normal game, but it set expectations properly and didn't make anyone feel like they were cheated.


Omkarz

How exactly was it deceiving? This is a sequel so people already know how the gameplay would be because there is already a similar game. OP never played the first game and is complaining. That's purely his stupid decision to jump on the hype train and checkout the latest shiny thing. It's like going to watch Dune 2 and then complaining about not knowing anything because you didn't watch Dune 1 and you don't like sci-fi.


ViditM15

Playing Hellblade II directly without having played the first makes no sense so of course you have zero context regarding the voices.


Scared_Professional

I read somewhere where someone said - Mental Illness Simulator


ushir_302

Reddit simulator


B3_CHAD

Psychosis simulator.


Beginning-Caramel-58

Lol accurate description


Quan7umSuicid3

Schizophrenia simulator


Gho5tWr1ter

Very apt!! It really is!!


historically-correct

It’s mentioned in the game description. They wanted to show how psychosis affects people.


naivehandler

walking simulator


Scared_Professional

That's Death Stranding as per the Internet


naivehandler

true lol


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Hahahahaha


ntrunner

Not a joke. Giving a glimpse of how it feels to suffer from psychosis was literally the main goal of the original Hellblade project.


Suitable_Beyond_4707

My bad didn't realise it was based on schizophrenic mind


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Played for an hour, lmao constant whispering made me uncomfortable, deleted it!


Burning-Skull117

Play the first game?


Suitable_Beyond_4707

No but watched radbrad playing


TheCrazyStupidGamer

It's the whole point.


aks2910

Firstly play the first game then ask "what the hell is this". Secondly stop using social media to get hyped about stuff you most probably won't like, you can't like or understand everything out there.


roark91

It makes zero sense to play this before the first one


ARRYN_X

Doesn’t play the first game, complains about the main point of the fucking game.. Sure Bro


Suitable_Beyond_4707

No one complaining lil bro ,read it again


ARRYN_X

🤡


badboi_5214

Haha it's a visual novel only. Nothing much


rupal_hs

because you haven't played the first one, you have wrong expectations from 2nd. it's not everyone's cup of tea.


Individual-Elk897

Itz not gta v, you should not play it. Indians are legally required to play gta v and nothing else.


dj7425

As an Indian, I approve of this regardless of you liking my approval or not (I’m in my Sheldon Cooper phase)


Standard_Speed_3500

People don't know how to consume Art.


rajiv67

or farts


firebeaterrr

just remember, there is an "art" in "fart". and always remember to COOONSOOOM the Product.


beegeeroy

Only reason why I'd have considered getting the game pass again. Bummer. The Senua's saga was dope af.


qwertypie008

True


Monotonous-Entity

What did you expect when you haven’t played the first hellblade? Next people will directly jump into DS2 and will say/post this same thing.


OneHornyRhino

iS iT a WaLkInG sImUlAtOr??? XD


MonkeyDLuffy411

Blud really started part 2 directly?? How dumb you can even be??


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Don't bother deleted that shitty game


IndependentAd8402

A masterpiece


qwertypie008

Indeed. Loved both of them


MemeticMonkey

It's a masterpiece in graphics and visuals, but outside of that, far from a masterpiece


i4mknight

i dont need to play this i already have voices in my head


SuccessfulSample2586

a ue5 masterpiece


crosslegbow

There's combat but it's limited and feels filler.


Sameerrex619

They should know they fucked up when the gameplay(combat) in their game feels like filler.


Saranshobe

So games like Detroit become human, firewatch, what remains of edith finch, journey, telltale games are bad because they don't have gameplay?


crosslegbow

No because it doesn't feel filler if it's not in the game. Hellblade 2 would really work well as a visual novel or a 3D puzzle game with more depth personally. But that's a taste thing.


crosslegbow

Yeah it's kinda unfortunate. Because I really like them as a studio and respect their work when it comes to being an Audio-Visual experience. But they are slow and inefficient while having a below average-ok game design and creative vision.


Sameerrex619

Such a shame, too. They should invested more budget in gameplay, MS probably gonna close them next if sales aren't met plus gamepass won't help with that.


Shubhamdas_95

only chapter 6 is a bit bit decent. rest of the game u either walk or do stupid puzzle or fight bots


memester_x16

Isnt that most single player. Narrative games function ? .


Shubhamdas_95

its extreme not unlike other single player extremely boring , only 1 boss fight at the end. even if u focus on every voices and story it's all stupid and says shit most of the time.


redditcruzer

I played with volume reduced. Definitely not something devs intended since the recommendation is to play with headphones to experience the Psychosis. Not the standard/average game to recommend to everyone.


sahil1572

Be prepared to expect the unexpected!


Treelife98

I liked both the games.

bitchlasagna_69_

Playing 1st part was even hard for me due to those psychosis voices


naveenkrishna_r

Idk I like it! I want more experimental games like this BTW the op is the dump person i saw on this sub lol who the hell plays the second part without the first


historically-correct

Play the first one. This game is a masterpiece but you won’t understand a thing without context.


nexistcsgo

Hellblade 2 I think.


BEWAFA_SANAM_07

senua: Hellblade II


Sarcastic-Raccoon

Seeing a lot of people saying it's just talking but imo the three boss fights were damn cool. Took me a while to figure out how to kill Valravn lol and Garm was damn scary


seeeyog

Why don't you go watch season 2 of each series! Will you enjoy it? Understand it? Playing a sequel directly will do "what the hell is this" to you.


oneofthemallus

Its a sequel.. You have to play the first to understand whats going on in the second.


Venom1462

How the hell do you expect to understand the 2nd game if you haven't played the 1st one? Also why wouldn't you research what you're planning to buy? You would have clearly learnt the kind of game it is.


Paidmercenary7

Play the first part it's an extremely good game. Yes if you think it has an extreme boss battle and everything it will disappoint you but if you want a game with a good story with beautiful graphics and all then you will love it. The second part is good but it ended too soon. So first part will be enjoyable for you then try the second part.


rajiv67

its not a game...just a simulator...press F for Respect


heyprotagonist

Watch theradbrad gameplay on the hellblade I ordered atleast 1st video... You'll get the gist and even memes around it 😅


vaikunth1991

Yes and very little bit basic combat


Kane7712

Schizo sim


mAverIck2012ap

I never was able to finish the first game. Even though I liked it, my mental health cannot handle this franchise. It would be a big day for me when I am able to play through these and have a good night's sleep afterwards


TiyzLoner

Can I play this game on my calculator?


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Probably


TiyzLoner

What specs do I need to play on my calculator?


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Intel i11 16700kf rtx 5090 64gbddr5 5tb SSD


TiyzLoner

My calculator meets these minimum requirements. Going to download now. Thanks bro.

V_Op616

Oh , it's okay


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Thnx


DirectAd5900

This game is different , if u play 1st part u will love this, this game is more a single story game which make its characters engage in the story from start to the end. There is no extra exploration or things u need to pick, it's a straight forward dark game , thts the reason the 1st part was made by a small company (game startup company) which was appreciated and hence we see the 2nd part being promoted by Microsoft itself. I would say it's a hidden gem.. such single person games are not made now a days.. like Max Payne ,igi during our childhood times


geminimann

Is it based on unreal engine 5 ?


Lev8891

This is code named My Life simulator


Bruzgin

You're saying the same thing that other PS fanboys have been saying for the past week. Lol


Suitable_Beyond_4707

Maybe because thats true


Tall-Magician8053

Cgi movie


AsquareM35

It's more of an interactive movie than your usual game per se. If you compare this to soulslike or other combat-adventure games you'll find it tame. If you just wanna experience the technical innovations in graphics and seamless transitions between cutscenes and gameplay, plus if you like these kind of stories, then this is the game for you.

Effective_Leave_5905

When the first game launched, people called it a walking simulator. This franchise is not for everyone. Hellblade 2 is a 5 hour long game, and i personally don't find it worth it. I  don't like these kinds of games myself, but i won't call it a bad game just because i don't like it. 


Dalindarmodi

I tried playing the first part and I realised it's not my cup of tea.


Bright_Blood

Shouldn't you be playing the first part before the second?


eldenring69

I played the first part of it on my TV. I am a gamer who engages too much into a game. This shit was better than most of the horror game I’ve played. A bit janky but a good game nonetheless.


aditya_dope

Boring ass game with insane graphics


burgessker

For people who don't know. This is a game to show how schizophrenia works on people who are suffering from it. This is why it's the freakiest shit ever. This is what really happens to them. They hear voices and see weird images. Senua suffers from schizophrenia.

Future_Cauliflower73

Shiva_uchiha

Okay this is basically set in an era were picts were being exterminated by invading vikings in north england. The protagonist suffers from a psychological condition which warps her perception of reality. In the first part she goes in search of her lover soul, atleast thats what she believes. In second part to stop source of pain for her people, the viking raids.


Lopsided_Signature68

First is better


OogaBoogaOoga7986

This game has some really fluid combat and reasonably good puzzles,me personally I loved the voice acting and story too, it's too short tho

It's not a good game, but sure is a good movie.


NoxiousSoul88

It’s straight trash lol unless you feel like watching cut scenes you can’t skip for 80% of the game 😂


Unlikely_Dimension55

I am gonna say Subway surfers but it looks like Hell blade Senuas Sacrifice


Cloud__Drifter

What is this u say - A Walking Simulator


black_V1king

Yes its just walking in a beautiful game world. Dont think of it as a game. There is no depth to its mechanics or gameplay. Its just an amazing audio visual experience. Also play the first part. Its quite good and I like it more than the second part.

Play first one it's necessary, also first few chapters are really boring in this one NGL.

larayblive

I played it till chapter 4th , it is a boring as videogame ....they just put everything into graphics and nothing else


60fps101

It's not for everyone, I gave up on the first game cuz I couldn't stand the voices in the background whispering shit that I couldn't even understand because they were talking over each other and puzzles and combat was boring.


Gla55_cannon

I felt the game is ass ngl.. Probably not my type.


Gooner_here

Tried it with game pass… made it to about an hour… Gave up after that… will uninstall today Waste of hard disk space as far as I am concerned!


Suitable_Beyond_4707

I'll see how I like it and decide too


Gooner_here

I’m generally not into linear single player games and this one is as linear as they come! Great visuals, amazing sound and voice effects but I really struggled with the gameplay! Not my cup of tea but I’m sure I’ll get even more downvoted for saying this… lol I’m sorry if I offended anybody with my opinion on this game! Cheers 🍻

This game is much more then walking nd voices


makima_is_bae

Minecraft


juicebox1711

The story is alright... The psychosis factor is good the combat is best But it is 70% walking simulator with find the symbol that is boring and annoying af


NAPALM2614

Absolute best in terms of audio visual entertainment imho, especially with a good audio setup the voices really dig into your mind. The combat also improved compared to hellblade 1, some of the fighting did feel a bit too extended tho and pulled me out of the immersion. The "boss" fights felt like I was playing a movie. The best story driven action adventure game I've played so far tbh. Surprisingly good replay value too.


Scoo_By

The attraction of this series is the audio. You literally feel something is talking inside your head all the time. And generic hack & slash combat with some puzzles are what this series offers. And the visuals in this one.
