Hellblade 2 review roundup: 'a stunning feat of video game art'


Ninja Theory's long awaited Xbox Series X exclusive has received favorable reviews from critics

XboxEra also awarded the game a perfect score and said, “Despite the backing of a company as large and as well-funded as Microsoft, Ninja Theory have, in my opinion, nurtured their independent spirit and kept it well and truly alive in every facet. Ninja Theory doesn't tiptoe around its heavy themes but welcomes them with well-honed empathy, tempered by an even keener creative edge this time around to deliver an unforgettable narrative adventure experience that's hard to watch, yet harder to turn away from.” Microsoft recently shut down four studios that were part of Bethesda, including Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin which made Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall, respectively.
