    The game is fantastic, I''m still shocked and incredibly impressed that only 20 devs made the game. It's absolutely insane - with a bigger budget and bigger team, Hellblade 2 could be next level.

    • @xBINARYGODx
      @xBINARYGODx 2 года назад +2

      the combat is crappy - its case of "this balanced around 1v1, but lets throws more in, and have some come in behind you with no sound (or maybe that was yet another bug)".
      Get rid of the combat, which the 4 trials proved is not necessary, and you would have a much better game.

    Just completed the game and was baffled at the end, I truly thought Senua had died. My interpretation was that quite possibly Senua never defeated Hela as the achievement I got said Confront Hela as apposed to Defeat her. To know she is still alive and that we will hopefully be receiving a sequel makes me very happy, amazing job Ninja Theory.

    This recap completely omits the bargain Senua strikes with hela to fight as her champion at ragnorok, and the ending can also be interpreted as hela released the skull from helhiem and accepting the bargain, thus senua becomes her champion the hellblade.
    Nowhere in the game is the sword garm called the hellblade at all.

    • @lucjapus26
      @lucjapus26 4 года назад

      The reason why is because this was made by only 20 or less people and with a budget of 10-15 million dollars. They had to seek other ways and technology which is why there’s a need for improvement especially the combat that is repeated. However I am pleased and excited that they are now backed by Microsoft meaning a larger budget, all the resources, and of course complete full independence to do with passion.
