At a glance
Expert's Rating
Pros
Exciting saga that kept me hooked up to the final scene
Top-notch graphics and sound
Fully featured photo mode
Cons
Limited gameplay
The beautiful graphics come at a price
The story is good, but doesn’t quite get there
Our Verdict
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is an atmospheric, intimate saga wrapped in a stunning setting, all at the expense of free and varied gameplay. If you don’t mind that playability takes a backseat, Hellblade II is a must-play for its exciting story and beautiful environments.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II was stuck in development for a long time. First announced in 2019 and long known as the game that showed off the graphical muscle of the Xbox Series X, it was finally released on May 21, 2024… to unexpected silence. So, it was with trepidation that I embarked on this adventure.
