I'm fine with Hellblade's length too, I thought Hellblade I was great, a very immersive experience, I never expected Hellblade II to be a huge 20+ hour experience and instead for it to be...Hellblade, the game I enjoyed, not chasing after something it isn't but instead a very focused and intimate experience with an incredible attention to detail with hopefully improved feeling combat (love the grittiness) and better puzzles but a focused story on Senua's battles, not her, as the developer said, being a superhero, Lol. It's cause of that it will be a shortish intimate narrative and play to its strengths.
If it's not an RPG or open world title it doesn't really need to be 20+ hours long, Lol. In fact, a lot of the greats are only 8-12 hours long.
