It’s not so much a game as an audio-visual work of art. If you are expecting the former you’ll hate it but if you are fine with the latter you’re set. It is a worthy continuation of Senua’s story. No, it doesn’t play that much different and yes it has the same sort of puzzles although the Huldafolk level does it so well it feels refreshing. Combat is more visceral and brutal and feels more serious this time. The first game had some combat scenes that were way too long and far too easy to get through. I love seeing Senua’s further growth and the supporting cast is just great. The only question remains; are they real, figments of her imagination or superimposed thoughts on actual people? So yes it is a continuation of the first one in many ways and its innovative in small but important ways. It seems to flow better than its predecessor and nowhere was I bored and felt I was just doing endless combat or endless puzzles. Oh and the photo-mode is to die for. Very well done and it can even be used in cutscenes!
