11:26 that whole boss level was truly phenomenal to experience, the visual, audio, and emotional aspects are synced so well
there is something weird, so i just played that section were Senua is fighting the enslaver (the first boss), but there is no rain at all now, there is rain before getting to him, but when the enslaver appears there is no more rain at all, it doesn't even have that dark mood anymore, only the fog, do you have an idea why that might be? I'm playing on the series x and is my first time playing. Please check it out again, i don't know if they made a recent actual downgrade on it.
The cave and after content pretty much ruined the game.
Such a beautiful game. Also it somehow doesn’t seem to have any of the common UE5 issues. I wonder if it this style of game is really where UE5 shines best as opposed to open world games
Man this game was boring…
Minute 25 stuttering in pc version only with VSYNC On mode. Using the No Vsync mode on VRR monitor – no stuttering absolutely!
Its wild there is still no physical release. If this comes to PS5 I hope Playstation makes them do a physical release!
This is art
dont get fooled by this payed comments and reviews, gameplay is just absolut garbage. Basicly is an walking simulator movie where sometimes you just press the same button over and over again
very good graphic. But thats it. Please stop only female main characters. It is really annoying to watch the desperate weak fighting while yelling, screaming annd crying
I came here for some eye bleach after watching Tom's coverage of Black Ops IIIIII.
1:00 Don't you realize the opponent is making the same exact facial expression every attack he makes? He always opens his mouth like fish gasping for air and the animation is never different! Looks total crap no one in real life repeats facial expression like robot.
Witam mam pytanie ,czy Hellblade 2 podczas grania stumieniowego w gamepass ma stałe 60fps ?
This game blows me away in hdr on QD-OLED
Played the game on PC and it looks and runs nice. Series X is just terrible with 30fps, can't believe that after just a few years we are already back at 30fps in 2024. Will sell the console, terrible experience…
Btw on a 7950x3d and traversal stutter is still there
Don't hold your breath this won't get optimised
Looks great, gameplay steaming pile. Many such cases in modern gaming
What fucking joke, look at death stranding it runs so fast and looks so good. UE5 is ruining gaming
Found it a crazy good experience ❤
I’m kinda more impressed by the rx6700’s performance!😂
so suddenly no one has a frame rate sudden dip issues?!!!!!!
many have criticized hellblade II for not being a good game. hellblade II in my opinion should not be evaluated as a simple game because it isn't. hellblade II is a sensory experience that engages and overwhelms the senses. for me it is a masterpiece of its kind. a rare pearl misjudged by most.
if only they made a good game with this level of graphics.
1:48 This is so important to remember, Hellblade 2 full development really didn't start till mid-late 2020, smack in the middle of the pandemic. And NT released a game right before that in March 2020, Bleeding Edge, after which they could divert full resources to HB2. They did not develop this game for 7 years as some like to parrot. Keeping that in mind, it's a beautiful short and sweet project and I cant wait to experience more of Senua's story in Hellblade 3.
now imagine this graphic with telltale games
my pc can only run this at 30fps
sad
The first unreal engine 5 game that actually looks good. And it looks incredible. But it feels like the only thing it can render in high detail is faces and rocks. I think I'm overall more impressed with Avatar Frontier, but it's close because those games have such a different emphasis on what they're trying to render
This game reminds me of LA Noire's facial capture during gameplay.
this game looks like garbage. Almost every single shot makes me fall asleep it just looks so featureless and boring.
Bought this but the chromatic aberration was so intense it gave me a headache. Too blurry like my eyes couldn't focus. Got refund.
Such a fantastic game. Cant believe people are negatively reviewing it.
very pretty game. simple but decent combat. bit boring but moments of great storytelling.
I didn’t even think about pop in. Amazing. Didn’t see any !
Absolutely glorious at 4K on an OLED. Those cave sequences blew my mind.
Love this game 10/10 for me so far.
Just disabled the filmic effects, which made the game look so much better for me. (via the engine.ini file)
i would vastly prefer your quick adjustment performance mode experiment, if it were an ingame option
By far the best looking game up to 2024!
The game drops fps if you progress to different areas of the map. You have to restart your PC for it to be smooth again.
Forced Letterboxing is reason enough to give this a 0/10. Goes to show that no matter how good everything else can be around something one single terrible thing is enough completely ruin it.
