Jokes aside I really wish HellBlade two was so much more than just a 10 hour tech demo.
That game had so much potential and it felt wasted.
The graphics are worth triple A pricing but the story was so incredibly short.
Game was one of the biggest disappointment of all time. I think it was first shown in 2019 with that beach sequence. It was essentially done. It’s proof the game was created initially around a random bombastic scene and the rest was built around it.
The game had like 0 direction and then at the end just randomly stops. It truly is a joke how poorly the game ended up being. It had less sense tha Halo Infinite for Christ sakes
Mannnn preach! Hellblade 2 could’ve been and should’ve been goated. I was absolutely floored from a graphical standpoint but once you get into thick into the story or lack thereof..it’s over 💀
I played that game but it's seemed like the only purpose was to find the way (and it was easy) edit: I don't remember anything about that game
That’s tragic… bought it but never gave myself the time.
May I introduce you to Starfield.
The drop off from the first Hellblade needs to be studied. The combat is worse, the story is worse. The voices went from being an interesting look into hallucinations to just nonstop talking about what you see on screen.
This is where just paying a month for Microsoft game pass is the better play. Absolutely no chance I'd have spent $50 on how short the story was.
Absolutely, I watched RadBrad play it and was like "yeah nah"
Both Hellblade games are tech demos to me. Mind-numbing walking simulators that try to be more edgy than they are.
That's also what happens when you get the first game successfully hyped based on a lie (they waited for the release of the game to say that the rumor about the game deleting the saves after too many deaths wasn't true at all) and have no idea of what to do with that.
Yeah, both I & II are fine for the style of being a small story with pretty graphics, but it's just that. It lacks substance and it's a shame. There is good potential there for more.
The first games story was deep, emotional and actually taught me a lot about schizophrenia.
The combat in the first game was simple but addictive.
The second one was like a girl boss powertrip with a heavy focus on cutscenes and a cliff hanger.
I like the story and atmosphere of both, but they feel too short and incomplete. It's like I'm close to be a top 5 game, but I lack something.
It also gives me always the feeling that they've something really good for a pure adventure game and instead they add something extra as an attempt to sell it to more players when stuff like the Dark Anthologies, The Quarry, and Until Dawn sell like hot cakes.
I wish Hellblade never existed.
Why's that? It's a great game both visually and in combat.
Not in combat
Great arguement!
That's all that needs to be said, your really going to sit there and say hb has "great" combat. You must only play mobile games.
The games literally a tech demo in if we focus on nothing but graphics
Writing is subjective, 1 was good 2 was not even close
I think that’s kind of a harsh sentiment, like many people hate sequels like last of us 2, fall out 76, etc, but I don’t think I would say it shouldn’t have existed. Like I can wish a game was better/different, but as it is there are people that enjoy these games, so let them enjoy it and you can just skip a game you think you won’t enjoy!
