Debuted at The Game Awards 2021, watch the Senua's Saga: Hellblade II gameplay reveal. Coming exclusively to Xbox and Windows PC from Ninja Theory. Captured in-game by the development team.

Warning, the salt surrounding this is real. Man, I'm not a fanboy anymore but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like to watch the fanboys cry. Wherever you go for this game, you'll see mental midgets running damage control because a game looks good. It's amazing.

EDIT: To be clear, I don't care if you dock something points because it has some sort of sjw/political agenda or stuff you just don't care for, but just be honest about other aspects you mention, haha, because otherwise you end up looking dumb.
 
Looks worse than Order 1888. Dark and "gritty" = can't see shit. No gameplay whatsoever.
 
I'm really not impressed by this tbh. Perhaps it's just the aesthetics, but this doesn't look all that great to me visually.

The "gameplay" especially fell flat. I've had enough of "cinematic" bullshit in Sony games, really don't want this to start trending in MS games too.
 
Clean your screen?
It's very clean and new, thank you. This just gives me The Order vibes. That "cinematic" aspect ratio and color palette of 50 shades of brown, blurred to death. Gameplay looks like go forward, press X and watch cinematics.

What salt? I must not have been paying attention.

Didn't play the first game? It had the same color palette. And it was also pretty cinematic. Same blur as well though not on the face as much. Anyway, it's apparently about a year off so things might get better there. I'm also sure you'll be able to reduce the blur on PC at least.

I haven't. I'll check it out at some point. But this trailer doesn't fill me with any hype about it.
 
Gameplay where? Looks like an extended cut scene.

Graphics look sick but to be expected.

Is there any RT going on ?!?
 
I quickly glanced at gaf and saw people complaining about a supposed lack of gameplay. Is that what you were referring to?
lol no. Not just that. Lots of people saying downgrade from reveal. HZD, a last gen game, looked better or on par, yada yada. Don't get me wrong, more people are praising it than not, but still. I've not looked at GAF for months and I just knew who I'd see fanboying it up when I clicked.

To be clear, I don't care if you like the game or not. I just find it fascinating the lengths some will go to downplay and obfuscate. It's like game of thrones to some people lol.

When a game is cinematic it's hard to tell where the gameplay sections are sometimes especially when the HUD is removed for the trailer. I believe even HZD did this, though since it isn't as big a jump from it's predecessor, since it's still a last gen game, and it's less cinematic in general, it's easier to spot what is and isn't gameplay there.

Gotcha. I quite liked the first one (didn't beat it, tho). Only real gripe was that I wish it felt more fleshed out in the gameplay department. Combat felt a bit stiff and limited, as did exploration. Very much a cinematic experience, which is fine, but I just felt it was a bit too lacking in some areas. Interested to see what they have changed/improved with the sequel.

Yeah, I started the first one in VR but I don't quite have my VR legs so I couldn't get past the first few battles. I might try again since we have time till this one releases but I might just play it in plebD on my screen. But what I did play was really cool, especially in VR.
