Hellblade 2 Graphics Analysis - PHOTOREALISM FINALLY ACHIEVED?

Ninja Theory has delivered an excellent sequel with Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 which feels like a major improvement in almost every conceivable way. The team took what worked in the original and cranked it up to eleven which includes but is not limited to the stellar visual presentation.

Built using Unreal Engine 5, Hellblade 2 flaunts photorealistic visuals adorned by the engine’s rendering techniques like photogrammetry, MetaHuman, and Nanite among others.

Having a cross-platform engine as the base for development has also helped in maintaining uniformity between the Xbox Series X and PC without skimping out on optimizations and enhancements for each platform. This graphics analysis dives deep into both versions of the game, and we also touch upon performance on our test bench.
