After the success of the first game, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was one of the most hyped Xbox exclusives in some time. However, many players are wondering how long it takes to beat the game, considering the first game was quite short.

Ninja Theory's depiction of psychosis and Senua's struggle in Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice were lauded by many, and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 promises to take the immersion a notch higher. Here is how long players can expect to spend in the game, depending on the playstyle.

6 to 7 hours

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is an extremely short game, with the main campaign only taking about 6 to 7 hours to complete. The playtime is strictly keeping in mind the main campaign of the game, and not treading off the beaten path to grab the collectibles. The length sparked a debate in the community, with some players unhappy with the length of the game for its price tag. That being said, Ninja Theory has emphasized time and again that it will be a short experience focusing heavily on the narrative and immersion, so it isn't too surprising that the game is this short. Avid fans of the franchise have appreciated the developers for sticking with their vision and delivering a truly unique experience.

For players looking for side missions, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 doesn't offer any and only has a main campaign for players to experience. The linear nature of Hellblade 2 is quite similar to the first game, although the length is even shorter this time around. However, there are a few collectibles players can grab while exploring the world which can help to pad out the total playtime a little bit.

7 to 8 hours

There are two collectible sets for players to track down in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Lorestangir and Hidden Faces. There are a total of 18 Lorestangir in the game, and they are quite easy to spot due to their standout design. Hidden Faces, on the other hand, are much trickier to find, as they get lost pretty easily in the environment, and there are a total of 17 of them scattered across the game's world. For players who are looking to get both of these, it will take roughly an hour or two more to find, as there are only six chapters in Hellblade 2 that players will need to search through. As far as the rest of the achievements are concerned, it's really quite straightforward, as it involves using the Photo Mode or changing the narrator, which shouldn't take much time.
