Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 review Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is out now on Xbox Game Pass! Check out what we had to say about Ninja Theory's stunning sequel in our Hellblade 2 review. Sean Carey Published 21 May 2024 Follow topics Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Hellblade Xbox Game Studios Xbox Cloud Gaming Game review Xbox Series X|S Review Action-Adventure Sean Carey With Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Ninja Theory created one of the finest and most unique gaming experiences around. However, in doing so, the studio also set itself a high bar to clear when it came to a sequel — just how do you expand on one of the best games of the previous generation? Well, as it turns out, Ninja Theory has largely stuck to the same award-winning formula it found with the first Hellblade to create yet another amazing game that had me fully immersed in its grim and beautiful world until the very end.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has us step into the shoes of the tortured warrior Senua once more, and instead of another harrowing journey through Hell, this time, we're whisked off for an equally harrowing jaunt around rugged Iceland. Having made peace with the loss of her lover and developing a deeper understanding of her psychosis, a more self-assured Senua ventures to Iceland to put down the Viking slavers who are causing misery in her homeland. Much like the first game, the story is steeped in metaphor, mythology, and historical non-fiction, and Ninja Theory has masterfully brought all of this togeth.
