Just got a Series X and wow! Review

I’ve had a ps5 for a while and also a Xbox one X and too bad this isn’t selling better. Hardware is so so nice

It's not a horror, more a psychological thriller. Probably some horror aspects, but not a full-fledged horror game.

Kind of like Alan Wake II in that sense then, right?

It's been a while since I've played the 1st Hellblade, but from what I can remember there's really no horror elements to it. If anything just some psychological moments, with Senua hearing voices or seeing things that aren't really there. Nothing I'd have considered "scary" though and I'm a pretty big pansy and not a fan of the horror genre either.

I'd say if you've played Alan Wake II you should have no problem with Hellblade. I absolutely loved Alan Wake II and to me that had plenty of legitimate jumpscares and tense moments, definitely more intense than anything I can remember from Hellblade.

Really appreciate this comment, considering you’re not into horror either, and loved AWII like I did!

I’ll give the first one a go on GP for sure!

Just a tip, headphones are where it’s at when the voices come.
