Analysis: I can’t wait
I absolutely loved the first game, so I’m excited to finally be playing Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 soon. Being digital-only is interesting, following the trend of some other Xbox games like Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush. Personally, if someone isn’t playing through Game Pass, I think getting a game under $70 as a result of being digital only can be a great move.
