Ninja Theory Explains Why Headphones Are So Important In Hellblade 2
...
The game utilises binaural audio, which immerses players in Senua's world. Garcia goes as far as stating "any headphones" will do the job, and it's simply the superior way to experience this game, as the team has captured its audio with a binaural microphone - giving listeners a "realistic impression of 3D space".

It is a monthly subscription service vs a one off sale, why would you compare the two?

So I've completed the game and got the 1000gs as well.. overall it was a short game, much like the first one which will have people asking why did it take so long to get done. My take is that it was virtually ready and then covid hit, then the xbox acquisition coupled with the transition over to unreal engine 5 meant that we got it when we got it.
I thought that the game was the right length for me as it was enough to keep me engaged and did not feel repetitive or in unnecessarily padded out. I was happy with the story and where I felt that this one had more set pieces than actual fights, it was excellently executed keeping me engaged and entertained. The pacing was good and it got to the point picking up from the last one. The graphics are up there with the best and I found myself in awe at how good this engine is. With many devs moving over to UE5 I hope this means shorter lead times for game development and if they can make smaller concise titles like these or a frequent basis, the subscription model that ms craves will sell itself.
All things considered, it's great to get a bug free game this gorgeous in 2024!

New patch has dropped.
What is interesting is Improved FSR3 artefacts as I didn't even know it was using FSR3.

Game is epic. Feels like a viking version of Ryse with more fog and depth of field.
The faces and body animation in this game are just amazing, haven't seen a studio do it this well since Naughty Dog on PS.
Usually I abhor tons of post processing effects but in this title it just works. In fact I capped the FPS to 30 on PC for that movie-like feel and cranked up the DLAA with max settings.
