![Poll: As Hellblade 2 Draws Near, What Do You Think Of The First Game?](https://images.purexbox.com/69dc243cf0f57/poll-as-hellblade-2-draws-near-what-do-you-think-of-the-first-game.900x.jpg)
We're now just over a week away from the first Xbox Game Studios release of 2024 in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, so as the May 21st release date draws near, we thought we'd take a quick look back at the original game in the series.
Arriving in 2017, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was a huge success for Ninja Theory, racking up fantastic reviews with both critics and players - leading to a very impressive Metacritic rating of 88 for Xbox One. The game received a visual boost for Xbox Series X and S a few years ago, and Team Xbox even used the sequel to highlight the power of the Series X when the console was first announced at The Game Awards in 2019.
