The studio did an excellent job on the graphics and optimizations. The length of the story may not have pleased many people, but I understand that it was the developers' proposal and they didn't charge US$70.
From the list of updates, you can see that the studio really did its best. I hope Microsoft invests more in Ninja Theory to develop a new IP... I would like to see a Village Saga style game with the character as an ordinary mortal, someone who gets hurt, feels scared, who has no powers, but develops combat skills .

Yeah, but unfortunately that's really all they improved on from the first game. Expected more after all these years especially with the studio size now and the funding from Microsoft

Agreed,
Microsofts big funding and 7 years development from the first game leads to this?
Shorter than the first and more expensive than the first good grief

80 People made Hellblade 2 and the game costs $50, in comparison, TLOU2 had 2200 people make it between 14 different studios. The budget isn't as high as you would believe.

Hellblade 1 was made by 20 people.
It's not unreasonable to expect a several improvements with the backing of the largest company on the planet

Well you have seen the increase of Budget but them quadrupling their team size and you can see where the money is spent. It's the most visually and sounding game to date.

Precisely! The comparisons between The Last of Us and Hellblade 2 are a bit illogical, whether due to the budget or the size of the team. In terms of graphics, it was obvious that Hellblade 2 would be superior, as we are talking about a completely new generation graphics engine and benchmarking with The Coalition, one of the best studios when it comes to Unreal Engine, but the comparisons end there.
Hellblade is not about a character with special powers like Katros (GOW), it is not about an apocalyptic world with firearms like (TLOU), it is not about a character with superhuman strength (Horizon). She is a normal character with mental problems, where in my opinion the giants represent major traumas faced by a schizophrenic person, that is, from the perspective of a normal person, we often face daily problems in a common way, but from the perspective of someone with schizophrenia this can be increased many times. I understood what the team wanted to convey about who Senua is and I think the story is interesting.
I emphasize that I would like to see Ninja Theory making a new IP, either to compete with GOW or to create a character like Vilage Saga, which in my opinion the story is much deeper and darker than any story involving gods, as it is of maturity, mistakes made in the past that torment you in the present, that is, anyone who hasn't read the novel or watched the anime I highly recommend it, because that's what I want to see when approaching a Viking story, something about the Norse, about Anglo-Saxons , Romans or Greeks.... man! You can create many human characters or even involving mythology and mysticism. I want and desire this from Ninja Theory.
