Today, we were treated to a bunch of hands-on previews for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, and as part of them, Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews told IGN that the team has found an audience that enjoys shorter games.
Matthews says that he's "really pleased" to see so many people liking shorter and very focused experiences in general, as the idea behind Hellblade 2 is for the "game length to be appropriate for the story that we want to tell". For the record, the length of this sequel is said to be around eight hours, which is very similar to the original.
I dont mind either way, so long as the story and/or game play is good. I cant stand a long game that is long only because of pointless fetch quests or meaningless side missions.
