Walking simulator with some puzzles.

"But muh graphics"

Nice visuals are cool, but they don't carry a game if the gameplay is bad.

[ꉔꏂ꒐꒒ꇙ]

Indeed. They also think charging the prices they charge for them is justified because the graphics look good.

It will take more than pretty graphics to try and sell me an overpriced short game.

I'll wait for a good, deep sale.

tried it on gamepass uninstalled after 30 mins of SLOWLY and PAINFULLY climbing a 40 foot cliff yes for 30 mins was climbing a 40 foot cliff with weird voices talking in my head. This game was beautiful yet stupid and cringe

My understanding was that the first hour of "gameplay" consisted of holding W.

No other interactions of any kind. Wild.

yep I had to rage quit at 30 mins of holding w

I'm not sure I really understand the complaints about this. The first game was very similar to this. If you're going in to Hellblade 2 expecting something radically different from Hellblade 1, it feels like you're setting yourself up to be disappointed. Personally I'm quite enjoying it. I wanted a game similar to Hellblade 1, and that's exactly what I got.

You've missed the best parts of the game by uninstalling. I would say the first 45 minutes are walking.. and also suffering the constant reminder of the inner voices.

This is meant to put you in a down state, to make you feel oppressed.

I had to review the game and consider about quitting but then I've got the idea and continue with the game and I thank god for that.

The game is simply amazing. The problem is not those 45 minutes of walking, the problem is players refusing to connect with suffering of any kind, period.

Unless you allow yourself to feel, this game is basically worthless to you.

I play Doom on nightmare difficulty, I have no problem connecting with pain. I'm not going to connect with boring cutscenes and tedious walking.

People just love to complain and yes seems like people were expecting something different. They need to do their research before even buying the game. The game is not for everyone, plain and simple. Just trolls showing up everywhere i notice.

From the sound of it seem like they hadn't tried the first game before trying this one. Think some people were expecting the franchise to be like God of War or something xD

I dunno.. On one hand I can't wait for you lot to have mental issues....on the other hand... I wish no one should go through the experience...
All I can clearly say is that... "you kids" have no clue what you are talking about, especially being a "bland, boring" experience.
If you don't like/enjoy it move on.. go play Fornite or whatever you fancy, but I really hope you will never get to experience any type of mental issues in your life!

Stop gaslighting. Go watch Hellbade I playthrough. You got to actually walk around and interact with the world in the first 10 minutes. Not limp around linear path and climb a wall for 20 minutes.

This is not the type of experience where you "have to interact" with the world every 5 seconds. There is Ubisoft and AC for that, or any of their games. You literally are not part of the audience. If it's not for you, then OK. Move on. Go play something else! (And ask for a refund or whatever.)
