Almost no one has finished Hellblade 2 on Xbox

According to data on global Xbox achievements, provided by Xbox Achievements Data, about 90% of players who played Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II did not complete the game’s story. Although it has a relatively short seven-hour duration (it can be completed in under 6 hours), the End the Tyranny achievement, which is unlocked after completing the final chapter, has yet to be achieved by 87% of Xbox players. This low completion rate is somewhat surprising, given the game’s short duration and minimal progression.

In terms of comparison, the completion rate on Steam is slightly higher, with 37% of players unlocking the End the Tyranny achievement.

This boss encounter occurs about 30 minutes into the game.

There are several factors that can explain this situation.
