In retrospect, the original Hellblade was never going to be an easy game to make a sequel to. Protagonist Senua's personal journey to self-acceptance was introduced and fully resolved, and most of the events of the story were seemingly hallucinations. That doesn't give you a lot to springboard off into a wider world, and indeed Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga struggles throughout to rise to that challenge.
