I think he’s talking about the second one, which I’ve heard mixed things about. I thought the first one was an excellent - albeit short - experience that knows what it tries to do and doesn’t do anything else.
Just to give the other perspective, I think Hellblade II is a masterpiece so I hope you enjoy your time with the two games as well!
I think part of the reason for people’s reactions like above are due to how it was scooped up by Microsoft and was thrust into the hype machine.
I think more often than not, people who played the first one knew what they were getting into for the sequel, and they really are Character Games first and foremost. There’s a reason Senua’s actress won Best Performance for her role in both games.
As an aside, I highly recommend watching the behind-the-scenes videos for the games if you take a liking to them.

Ah I see. Hopefully I enjoy the sequel. I’m replaying the first one before I start the second
