The closest thing for me is something like The Order 1886 but with sword combat instead of firearms. It has that same sort of visual flair and very focused design. The story is more satisfying in HB2, though.

Ah if only The Order got a better chance.

It was one of the PS4 exclusives I decided to play when I got my PS4 late. It really does feel comparable to Hellblade, it was a pretty game graphically (and uses a cinematic ultra wide aspect ratio with black bars just like Hellblade 2), but it was also quite short, had pretty limited combat, and had alot of annoying collectibles to find that pretty much required the use of a guide. It's actually kind of surprising it reviewed like 20 points lower than Hellblade, I suppose the things that tipped the scales in Hellblade's favor are the storyline and the psychosis binaural audio.
