This is the most visually impressive game in years.

[RiseAgain]

Nothing other AAA publishers have made so far comes close to matching what Hellblade 2 has to offer in terms of visuals.

Of course, this comes at a cost. Letterboxing during gameplay, lots of tight enviroments with not a lot of room to move, very linear gameplay (which, in my opinion, is not a bad thing - not every game needs to have a massive open world map).

"Can it run Crysis?" has turned into "Can it run Hellblade 2?".

I wish Ninja Theory nothing but success.

Just no lol

Horizon, Ghosts, Red dead 2, Last of us 2, Spiderman all look better than this slop whilst being actual games

[kiteless 凧無し]

It’s a short linear cinematic walking simulator

It’s easy to crank up the fidelity when you haven’t got a huge massive open world to worry about

It’s almost like this simple difference in concept is entirely lost on people

[Regnier575]

and not relying on black bars lmao

Those games are vastly more impressive. Look great, don't rely on black bars and are actual games rather than glorified demo's. Cope more

[Star Rain]

I even like Ryse better still, plus the performance here is ass.

[Helifax]

Hhhmmm.. try Alan Wake 2 and then let's see :D Not to mention Cyberpunk with a "Real-Life Visual" LUT mod.

Agreed. it is jaw dropping and super smooth too which hints at great optimisation from the Devs.

This is what's dishonest lol claiming those games are "vastly more impressive" when they just simply aren't.

If you want to claim that glorified demo is impressive when it has nothing really going on then cool. I'll continue to find actual games impressive

whilst i agree that Horizon FBW / BS and Ghost look amazing. the detail, lighting and visual affects in HB2 is off the chart.

And you must be joking with Spider Man. it looks great but is not in the same class as the others you mention.

[Sarper]

Good graphics don't make good games, a great case study for this.

I just don't find a glorified demo that has nothing really going on impressive

[Cairn.L]

The characters facial expressions are very impressive.
The environment does look amazing as well.
