However, this shouldn’t be a cause for disappointment.
This article ranks and summarizes all six chapters in the game.
Unfortunately, players find the finale of this game lacking.
Notably, it doesn’t feel conclusive but a setup for the series' third installment.
The finale opens with Senua going to Borgarvirki, Thorgestr’s hometown, and the game’s last setting.
You also encounter guards and fight a few battles before reaching Godi, the final boss.
The first battle in the finale feels mundane, but the others are intense.
Unfortunately, the fight with Godi isn’t as intense as expected.
Moreover, every attack leaves the boss open, giving you plenty of opportunities to take him down.
However, it is not all mundane, involving a few puzzles and exciting battles.
You must find various symbols and solve several puzzles to get through obstacles you come across.
The puzzles are creative and mainly involve arranging objects to align with symbols.
Additionally, you encounter a few crystallized enemies along the way, setting the stage for fun fights.
They are formidable and have intimidating abilities like spitting fire.
One of the enemies is particularly challenging as you cannot block his attacks.
The enemies come one after another, each bearing unique weapons.
Interestingly, the second chapter also features your first ritual sequence after beating your enemies.

Interestingly, interactions with the NPCs also include optional discussions, which help with character development.
The second chapter mainly focuses on solving puzzles from the Hiddenfolk.
There are three puzzles, and all involve arranging stones on an altar.
However, each puzzle is unique and challenging, adding fun to this story-driven chapter.

How do you plan to tackle this onslaught?

The puzzles in this chapter are creative, requiring you to find symbols to solve them.
Chapter 4: Huldufolk
Chapter Four is the longest inSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
Fortunately, it is also one of the most eventful chapters in the game.
A spooky cave sets the stage, featuring hidden collectibles, unique puzzles, and dangerous creatures lurking.
Interestingly, the puzzles in this chapter are unique and quite different from the other chapters.
The idea is to alter spaces highlighted by a blue mist or rainbow colours.
Fortunately, the puzzles are more fun than challenging.
Notably, this chapter also fills gaps in the story with informative cutscenes.
The enemies in this cave are also different types of creatures, making the fights unique.
They don’t have weapons but can deliver powerful, fast-paced blows that disorient you.
They can also throw dirt at you as a distraction.
The trick is to dodge the creatures' strikes and mash attack when a creature grabs you.
It is primarily linear: a recap of the previous game and a tutorial of the current one.
Everything in this chapter flows smoothly, including the entertaining soundtrack.
