Exactly the same, with unreal 5 skin. The game is the same. The controls are exactly the same. The anamorphic screen is the same. The movement. The camera. Holy moly, it is the same game.

With less game.

Yeah, to be clear, the final paragraph is referring to the roster of narrative-driven single-player action games that Ninja Theory is known for. The original wording made it sound like they’ve done literally nothing else, so thanks for pointing that out!

This sounds like it doesn’t even have a story to fall back on.

Given that this is their first release since the Microsoft acquisition

That’s just false. Might want to do basic research before writing a review.

I did wonder how the sequel would justify itself given how the first game felt like a completed journey for Senua.

Will still play it on gamepass but your review isn’t reassuring!
