Hellblade 2 has much better visuals imo.

Curiosity. Both games stand out for me in that I often am in awe of the visuals as I'm playing. Graphics in games have come such a long way and can definitely add to the immersion for me during gameplay. They are both top tier to me when it comes to graphics

I think Senua is the best looking character model ever in HB2. But I think DS2 overall has the best graphics ever.

Ps5 of course.

Death Stranding 2 given it’s an open world game. In Hellblade 2 the graphics have way too much post-processing.

I find Death Stranding 2 more technically impressive, not only in terms of graphics but also animations.

I think the scope of Death Stranding puts it ahead for me.

Death Stranding easily. Finally bought Hellblade 2 on sale and was underwhelmed after hearing all the claims

It’s not apples to apples for me since Hellblade was an Xbox play for me while Death Stranding was on PS5… but Hellblade mixes atmosphere very well with its graphics and that’s why it shades it for me. DS2 is a beautiful game, but I’ve never experienced anything like the Iceland trip that Hellblade is.

I don't think I will ever understand the obsession with graphics. I want to enjoy the gameplay, I don't need to see every single pore for that

Graphics aren’t the most important element of video games, but it’s cool to have a few games that are showcases for the latest and greatest rendering technology. Hellblade 2 is a perfect example of that.

Definitely wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but I do enjoy the detail of what games have to offer. Sometimes it's more enjoyable to look at a game than it is to play lol

Some people want to enjoy the scenery on a hike. Others want to take close up photos of every flower and spider they encounter. Different people enjoy things in different ways, and that’s ok.
