After years of waiting, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is finally here, and those eager to venture alongside our favorite Celtic warrior will want to know how long it’ll take them to beat this journey. As you might know, the prequel wasn’t a long game, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t meaningful. With a big emphasis on visuals and storytelling, we had a classic situation of quality over quantity. And now, with the sequel, many wonder if history will repeat itself or provide players with a longer adventure.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s Length Explained
Before we delve into hours, minutes, and whatnot, let me clarify: the sequel is short. If you’re focusing solely on the story, it’ll take you seven hours to beat Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. However, if you want to reach a 100% completion rate, that playtime will go to eight hours, which is what you need to find all the collectibles. This might seem too short, but the prequel had the same length. Thankfully, with how immersive the game is and how fast the narrative hooks you, it is a game worth experiencing regardless of its playtime.
Many gamers might be a bit disappointed with these numbers, especially if you think about the price tag. Yet, I think it is worth spending the money on this. Lately, we’ve seen several games with quantity over quality, which isn’t great. On the other hand, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 presents a compelling story and the most photorealistic visuals we’ve seen, so even with its length, it’s something you should play as soon as you can.
However, if you don’t want to spend $50, remember that this sequel also joins the Game Pass catalog as soon as it launches, so you’ll save a bit of cash. If it were me, I’d buy the game because Ninja Theory gave us a masterclass in visuals and storytelling that deserves every penny.
