20 Greatest PC Games of 2024

The sequel to the critically acclaimed Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, it managed to exceed expectations in terms of visuals, performances, and storytelling.

Melina Juergens reprised her role as Senua, and her portrayal was nothing short of mesmerizing. The way she brought Senua’s darkness to life was a testament to her acting prowess. The game’s narrative, which focused on Senua embarking on a blood campaign of revenge, was compelling and emotionally resonant.

The combat in Hellblade 2 was also top-notch. The visceral nature of the battles, coupled with the fluid animations, made for an immersive and engaging experience. However, some players might have felt that it adhered too closely to the linearity of the previous game. But as a gamer who values a well-told story over open worlds any day, I found Senua’s journey to be captivating and satisfying.

In a humorous twist, let me share an anecdote. After finishing Hellblade 2, I decided to take a break from gaming. But my dreams were filled with Senua’s darkness for days on end! It was as if she had invaded my own mind, much like the enemies in the game. Needless to say, it took me a while before I could sleep peacefully again!
