It's beautiful. It returns to the formula of Hellblade 1 but bigger and better. The length is perfect, with a simple and concise yet well-constructed story that hooks you from start to finish. It's less abstract than the first one, which is appreciated. Please, more games like this one with 6 good, solid hours instead of making 30 hour games where only 10% are main content and the rest is filler. The combat is spectacular and has truly cinematic scenes. Senua is a great character, and very believable bonds are created with the other characters. I certainly enjoyed it a lot and eagerly await Ninja Theory's next releases, whatever they may be. What they achieved with the first game is very impressive, and even though this one was published by Microsoft, I think it hasn't lost its essence at all.
