Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s Internal Mock Reviews Are Projecting a 90+ Score – Rumour

The gaming landscape in 2023 has seen Microsoft stage a strong comeback, bolstered by compelling titles for its Xbox Series X/S platform, including Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Motorsport, and Starfield. The momentum is poised to continue into 2024, with a robust line-up of games on the horizon. One title under the Xbox Game Studios banner that has generated significant anticipation since its reveal is Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. The sequel to its highly acclaimed predecessor is expected to receive an equally if not more, enthusiastic response from both critics and fans.

Insights provided by the reputed gaming insider NateTheHate, during an appearance on the DirectXbox episode of the Spawncast podcast, point to Microsoft setting high expectations for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. NateTheHate shared that the buzz last year was Microsoft predicting the action-adventure sequel to achieve a Metacritic score upwards of 90. He noted that this speculation might be grounded either in internal mock reviews or external ones, indicating that Microsoft is banking on the game being a critical success.
