Just killed the second giant... almost everything about this game resonates with me.
Great protagonist (this is how you do a strong female character without shoehorning it in with an agenda).
Fantastic graphics.
Fantastic art design.
Fantastic sound.
Great storytelling.
Great (for me) Gameplay and controls.

The only things I could critique would be the collectibles... it's great that there's small snippets of storytelling in there, but there's just two types and it's pretty much the same thing; look for a rock face or take a short hike.
Also the puzzles, it's the same look at a spehere and line up a symbol every time.

I can see that the extremely linear gameplay and basic fight controls doesn't work for everybody, but for me it's perfect. It fits the cinematic approach and makes me more invested in the world and storytelling.
I'm at about the same place and have the same thoughts. Only in missing a lot of the storytelling nodes I think, but I'm finally chill with that since I'm going to do a second run on pc with headphones so I'll use a walkthrough then.

Seems that there's no more collectibles after the wind/ water giant... I'm missing a few, but I've gotten the last ones according to the "lists" you see when you collect them (the ring on the trees and the cut out symbols on the pole thing).
Honestly feels better to not have to think about missing some, no more looking around everywhere and get off path and immersion.
I'll do a second playthrough when I get my asus rog ally early next week, with headphones.

Yeah that's what I plan on doing. Play on easy and just mop up the collectibles.

I am halfway through I think... But I'm just in a rut to play any sp games on PC or the PS5 ATM.

I'm mostly on the PC playing mp games with friends like CS2, Helldivers 2 or League of Legends these days.

Haven't had any negative HB2 news in awhile.

I haven't started, but plan to. Just finished a 90 hour Pillars of Eternity 2 game and it's usually a back and forth from me until I get focused on another story.
 
Warned about posting porting rumors in Xbox threads
Tom's recent note pad also mentions possibility of Hellblade 2 to be ported among other Xbox games

Nothing like an Xbox game thread with everyone sharing their experiences and screenshots of said game then add a dash of "game isn't being 100% completed" (2 weeks after release) and finish it off with a sprinkle of "the game is going to be ported".

Pretty much the recipe for an Xbox game thread here.

Unless there is an official announcement anything saying that a port is "being discussed" or "under consideration" is completely meaningless and frankly redundant. Everybody knows that all games from MS at this point are likely "being discussed" and even the games that aren't part of Project Latitude could eventually get there at some point.
 
Don't worry, guys, soon the narrative will shift and they'll talk about the games going to PS5 first and then deciding whether to port them to Xbox or not. I'm sure we'll see every tweet from @aloystigolbitties1488 in this thread.
 
Yeah we are going to stop with all of this speculation until AFTER the game is announced for other platforms. This LITERALLY does nothing for the conversation about an XBOX/PC (as announced) game. This goes for any other Xbox game (rumored and not CONFIRMED) to be going to other platforms.

This is a warning. I'm seeing way to many of these kinds of posts.

If anyone needs a reference again: On page 17 of this thread I was pretty clear.
This is going to be enforced for ANY discussion about Xbox games. If it hasn't been confirmed to be ported, there will be NO discussion about it going to other platforms. Period.

EVERYONE has been warned.
