Since the first chapter of Senua’s story wasn’t that long when it was released in 2017, you’re probably wondering if Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 adds to the playtime. Well, it turns out the sequel isn’t that long either. Here are all the chapters and how long it took me to play each one.
How long does it take to beat each chapter in Hellblade 2?
In total, it took me six hours and six minutes (to be precise) to complete all six chapters of Hellblade 2. It’s worth noting that I didn’t get each and every Lorestangir or Hidden Face collectible that is 100% required. complete the game, but I got most of them. If you were planning on getting all of the collectibles in the game, you could add about an hour more of play time.
I’ve listed how long it took me to complete each chapter below, so you know if you’ll have enough time to finish the next one.
- Chapter 1: 45 minutes
- Chapter 2: 42 minutes
- Chapter 3: 1 hour 4 minutes
- Chapter 4: 1 hour 22 minutes
- Chapter 5: 1 hour 18 minutes
- Chapter 6: 55 minutes
The above playtime includes some deaths. I didn’t die many times, but I’d say about five or six times during the entire experience. I found all but two of the Lorestangir collectibles and about half of the secret paths behind the hidden faces. These latter collectibles are quite difficult to locate, but contain some interesting tidbits that will appeal to completionists.
Can Hellblade 2 be played again?
Honestly, due to the linear nature of the story, once you’ve played the game once, there isn’t much reason to play it again. If you didn’t get all the collectibles the first time, you can grab them to check off two other achievements on the list. You can also play with one of the alternate narrator voices that are unlocked once you have beaten the game once. There are three alternate narrators, but there isn’t much narrator dialogue, so your advantage with this may vary.
