Senua's Saga: Hellblade II review: From the motion-capture technology to the astounding recreation of Dark Ages Iceland, this game is cinematic both in scope and execution, PETER HOSKIN writes
You absolutely must have your headphones on for Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. The sounds that are being pumped into your ears are at least a third of the whole experience.
One of them is Hellblade II's setting, Dark Ages Iceland, where Senua has travelled to wreak her vengeance on the entire community of Viking thugs who butchered her village and lover in the first place. Purely as a mix of sight and sound, Hellblade II is hard to beat - you can really show off the capabilities of your Xbox, and wow your friends, with the squidgy verisimilitude of its severed limbs! As Senua struggles from beach to village to mountainside to… well – let's just say – some darker, stranger places, you can't quite escape the sense that more effort has been put into the filmic grandeur of Hellblade 2 than into its moment-to-moment gameplay.
