Do yourself a favor and watch the new Hellblade II trailer again with headphones on.

It's -- by far -- the best trailer for the game yet. The music, the atmosphere, the mature gameplay, the audiovisual experience, it's all very impressive.

Digital Foundry (Oliver) on Hellblade II:
- Game looks unreal
- Meshes are super super dense
- Facial rendering is some of the highest quality they’ve seen
- Some shots of the characters look absolutely insane
- Absolutely wow’d by it pic.twitter.com/gg9iOQFGSJ

The game looks very pretty but man the combat still is leaving me with the same vibe as the first game.  I feel that once the graphics wow leaves me, I will probably lose interest like I did with the first game.  But who knows, maybe they can share their tech with MS other studios to bring the wow factor into their games which is missing compared to their competition.

Looks fine to me, an improved version of Hellblade I's combat, it looks "raw" and "gritty" not some fantasy sword fight, I like it.

Just improve Hellblade I's combat but keep the "rawness" of it, less puzzles (or at least, smart puzzles) and more combat scenarios.
