Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
Play it on: Xbox Series X/S, Windows (Steam Deck YMMV*)
Current goal: Beat it in a weekend
I’m glad to hear that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a brisk, mostly simple journey through a woman’s psychosis. Developer Ninja Theory has talked about the need for shorter games, and the thought of a big-budget experience I can finish in a sitting or two is music to my ears. Hellblade II is also pretty divisive, and hearing that people are split on something naturally makes me want to find out where I fall. I enjoyed the first Hellblade when I played it in 2017, so I really should have jumped on the sequel sooner than this weekend. Here’s hoping I can get through it before the Sunday Scaries show up. — Kenneth Shepard
