Hellblade II is yet another current generation Unreal Engine 5 game, and we can indeed see all of UE 5’s features in action, for this game, such as Nanite, Virtual Shadow Maps, Lumen for the Ray Tracing, and so on.
This also makes Hellblade II a very GPU intensive game, despite not being an Open World game or anything like that, it’s pretty linear, the demands on the GPU especially are pretty high, but the game does look the part, at least.
The PC port itself is decent, nothing extremely fancy, controls are quite similar to the first game, all customizable, and they haven’t included FSR 3 Frame Generation, yet, but I believe they said it is planned at some point, too bad it’s not here for the game’s release, because it would’ve been useful, for sure.
This is a pretty straightforward game to test, albeit quite boring since there’s a ton of walking around and not that much combat.
I’ve also found some visual inconsistencies amongst the various upscalers, but nothing to worry much about, really.
All in all, the port is capable enough, for what the game has to offer.
As usual, I hope this can be useful to any of you, and I’ll see you in the next one : )
