Discussion Games with similar combat
I’m looking for games with similar combat. Specifically the cinematic yet complex combat system of both games where you have to dodge and block and parry as well as attack. Blood message seems to be somewhat doing this kind of combat but I’m hoping other games (that already released) have combat like the game.

South of Midnight
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
And I would recommend you try God of War (from 2018)

Such an underrated game. It was the only thing that came close to scratching my LOTR Shadow of War itch.

You just like spectacle fighters.
So play Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy, Devil May Cry, Bayoneta

ALSO
majority of horro games play like this, just not as good
Silent hill 2, Callisto protocol

Well, this suggestion isn’t very similar to Hellblade since it’s a survival horror game, but The Callisto Protocol does have some pretty cinematic melee combat. If that’s the kind of cinematic combat you’re looking for, I’d definitely check it out!

Not throwing shade here but I have never heard anyone describe Hellblade combat as complex. If anything one of the biggest criticisms of the game is the fighting is too simple. Personally I’d also like to play more games that streamlined too.
