My biggest gripe with the game so far was the choice the devs made to have the game run at an constant 2.39:1 aspect ratio, causing letterboxing all of the time on 16:9 monitors. Thankfully many others didn't like this and it's an easy fix!

No more letterboxing! 👌

You can tell Ninja Theory have put a lot of effort into this game.

Probably the best thing about the last game was the audio experience, and it's even better in this one. Extra subtle details like evil laughter mixed in with wind blowing, or the little shades of red on screen co-ordinated with when Shadow talks to Senua.

And the visuals are incredible. I've jumped into the Photo Mode a few times already!

@Sobtanian I did a similar thing. Just dropped it and didn’t go back to it for ages. I did find it relatively simple to pick back up again though. The controls aren’t too complex, it’s mostly about timing attacks and dodges if anything.

I really would suggest getting back into it, if only for the second game. The details are amazing. I bet it would look insane on that monitor of yours!

This fight scene was great and the screenshot doesn't do it justice. The combat felt a lot smoother compared to previous game as well.
