Pros
- Pentiment, Keeper, Hellblade 2, Grounded 1 and 2, Avowed and Outer Worlds are pretty cool
- I must be one of the few who enjoyed it on my Xbox. I’d almost certainly buy it on PS5 if they release a physical copy with Dualsense features
Cons
- Parent context: The first one stuck with me for some time after finishing it whereas with the sequel my only thought was that I was glad that I played it on Game Pass and didn’t waste $50. Reply: Story is on par to me. The gameplay was a...
- Hellblade 2 just felt like a road trip where random events would happen, it didn’t feel as cohesive as the first one did.
- Unfortunately they’re still charging $50 for a 4-5 hour game with a vastly inferior story than the first Hellblade.
- Parent context: Don't parrot hatetubers. Reply: I'm not parroting shit. I played HB2. I love the first game, and can't stand the sequel. They dumbed it down in every way except visuals.
- I was surprised hellblade 2 was made the way it was.

I still wonder what all those delays were for. 4-5 hour game and you spend most of the time walking.
So more people get disappointed by this awful mess. It has nice graphics and that's it. In every way inferior against the first game.
Hellblade 2 is a solid 7/10 game.
