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.

The problem for me with HellBlade combat is that it was very basic and from the new game nothing has changed that feeling.  It looked like the same basic moves with the enemy doing the same basic attacks.  I am just they type of gamer who is use to games with way more combat options and abilities that make it fun to play.  So far from the first gameplay reveal to the second one, there is nothing about the combat that is giving me that feeling of want to experience it.  Of course I will hold judgement until I get to play it because I have enjoyed many of NT games and their combat before so I am holding out hope.
