Let's get this straight: to me, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is a letdown, even though it's a true technological marvel. While it's not the most disappointing game I've ever played, this highly anticipated and largely unnecessary sequel falters in all the key areas that made the original so good. It's as if Ninja Theory failed to grasp what made the first installment unique and opted for a different course instead, retaining its signature elements that now seem out of place and appear irrelevant.
