I think the change that has struck me the most - and something you touched upon - is the heavier tone of the overarching plot. Both games have that often silly, fun dialogue that brings levity to the story and situations, but here that feels especially important. Zagreus' journey of escape in the original title was always something very personal, and ultimately functioned as a means of connecting him better to his family. I was always invested in the characters and their relationships, with the "main" story feeling more secondary to that. In comparison, Melinoe's task feels far more important and significant in the grand scheme of things, even while her own reasons for getting involved are very personal. You see the dire impact of Chronos' rule all throughout the locations you visit, and learn more about it through your interactions with the various characters. It's honestly made it even harder for me to put down compared to the first game simply because I'm so much more compelled to see things through to the end. Like, I REALLY want to bring death to Chronos. That's rad, and with characters and relationships just as strong as those in the first game, it really feels like Supergiant has managed to push the genre forward narratively (for a second time).

It feel mechanically complete but [spoilers ahead] . . . . . the fact that there's nothing after Eris for now and character arcs stop advancing at a certain set point with a couple of Ambrosia interactions available leaves a ton left to do esp in terms of endgame plots. I'm excited to see where it goes but you definitely do hit a content wall after 20-40 hours (depending on skill level).

@rachi7629 Месяц назад

I would say Melee combat takes a little more to master in this game, but you will, and it will be VERY rewarding, believe me. But yeah, first thing going in it is way easier to use ranged attacks and conjurations to observe and react. After you learn how every enemy acts, melee becomes easier since you know precisely when you can attack.

@rachi7629 Месяц назад

The axe was too hard and I would actually refuse to use it. But now, after punching chronos in the gut a few times, I feel it is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. I made an aphrodite spin to win build once that just deleted old chrony for real.

@clashcrafter Месяц назад

unless i missed it they're not adding a 3rd overworld. just their first major patch will add a 3rd biome to the surface along with some other stuff. presumably they'll add a 4th to it at some later point in the early access when it goes live but i don't believe they've said they're planning a whole 3rd area.

@DPtdryste Месяц назад

Yeah I’m like 70-80 hrs in gameplay timewise, please support small studios doing good work! Hades is my fav game ever, I love this sequel, can’t wait to buy it again on a Switch 2 and probably my PS5 lol. With focus on Greek mythology, combat and drip-feeding me a fully-voiced, compelling (but also novelly “normal” & social “focused on getting to know all the personalities”) narrative where you get learn a little about everything in the game world, I can see Hades becoming my favorite series of all time. The only thing I would fix is resource economy, but hey lets be honest all of us who are big fans are going be playing dozens and dozens of runs anyhow 😉 again, please support small teams doing AAAA work, focusing on fun and story, not graphics and money.

@Hikariinu124 Месяц назад

i have over 45 hours into the EA version of the game, its marvelous and deep and incredibly fun. I already knew I loved hades 1 so this was a no-brainer for me to pick up at the ground floor. I love that its not "easy" even on the pre-Fear runs. you can REALLY get your teeth kicked in by the final bosses even if you know what to expect.

@tangrunhua Месяц назад

It's also important to mention that there are literally early-access-exclusive content in the game. Characters and narrators have dialogues referencing the fact that the game is unfinished, and you can only experience these dialogues during EA. To me, this makes playing the game right now totally worth it.

@BucklingSwashes Месяц назад

This! The early access-specific dialogue bits are small in general, but it's awesome getting to experience them. I know it's very unlikely, but it'd be really cool if Supergiant could find a way to allow players to access older builds of the game after the full release, including this version. I know there are a few games out there that offer similar features, and in this case in particular it seems like it could be worthwhile for this specific reason.

@DaedrinMolkre 14 дней назад

I just got the game about 3 days before the most recent update (the one on Jun 26th) and as someone who did not play Hades 1 in its early days to experience the changing of content, it was SO cool to see things alter right in front of me, as this game gets more and more refined. Alls I know it: I tried to use blitz and scorch on my first few play through, they really weren’t working for me. Cut to just days later, all of a sudden, both actually feel valuable to me and since that update dropped, I’ve went from wins in the under or upper world to winning twice on both sides. As someone who only really got into Hades 1 this year and has put 80 hours into it over the last 2 months….this game is everything I wanted. I click so much quicker with the new gameplay features here compared to when I was trying to learn how zag worked. I’m especially VERY into the omega system, boons that involve priming your mana, and also the new cast. GOD do I love the last now, I hated hades1 cast and refused to do cast builds, but now I’m in love with dropping that circle, stopping the enemies chasing me for a moment while I ready up for an attack. Add onto that aphrodites cast boon that sucks enemies in, causes weak, and now as of the new update, also damages them. I’m 25 hours in so far, as I have no intention of stopping just yet, I’m far from bored, which is a surprise to me given that I thought having to wait for the next area of the upper world would get me to stop playing for now….but I just….I don’t wanna stop, I’m still having so much fun and I still have no many unlocks to work towards. Best 30$ I’ve spent in a long time and while I LOVED FF7 rebirth and LaD 8……this genuinely might be topping them for my fave 2024 game, even if it’s not officially a full game yet. I love the melodrama of RGG, and I love the spectacle of FF, but this game is just pure addiction for me right now, it’s the only game on my mind, and I JUST built a new rig I made solely to finally play BG3, a game I didn’t play yet because my old rig didn’t have the SSD space needed left. So now, here I am, new rig setup, 1.3 tb of space left to install, can get Bg3 at any time….and yet all I wanna do is play Hades 2 right now (and I say this as someone who loves not just Divinity OS 2 but Divinity in general (even have a soft spot for divine divinity), so I’m very hyped to see what Larian cooked up) but I just can’t escape this game right now.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a third route planned.

I'm guessing the 3rd overworld will be Olympus itself

The first game is my favorite game I was never able to beat lol. Really looking forward to this one coming to console.

Love the area diversity for Hades2. Hades 1 was great but the areas felt too samey after 10 hours. Another similar roguelike i love is Dead Cells and the huge amount of different areas (especially when you add in DLC) gave it an edge over Hades. Maybe Hades2 will beat Dead Cells for my favorite roguelike.

Just want to point out that it's likely the surface will get TWO new biomes to match the 4 in the underworld and the 4 from Hades 1 (Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, and the Styx Temple). I wouldn't recommend Hades 2 to a new player yet, but it's definitely in a state where Hades veterans can happily enjoy it.

I'm going to wait for the 1.0 and get the full experience, but DAMN this review had me sorely tempted to jump the gun.

@Finnalychangedmyname Месяц назад

its great but it made me want to go back to the first one, maybe the weapons and skills will be more fun once it's fully released

@damiancrowley569 Месяц назад

I did the same lol the game was so good I went and bought every other game they'd made and bought Hades 2 day one. I absolutely love it, I've put several hundred hours into it by now lol

@jackakascko Месяц назад

Love the game, been playing for the past week.. runs like a dream, no bugs, great story, 2nd boss fight is awsome.. cant wait for full release with extra content

@terpy663 Месяц назад

So glad i took a break from D4 season 4 to play Hades 2. Well worth $30 as is in early access.

@panamike6178 19 дней назад

Do you ever have nights, or game sessions where no matter what game you try playing, you’re just not feeling it… Especially a long RPG style game, or you’re getting completely wrecked in a souls like game, or you’re at a point in a game where it’s a tedious fetch quest… You catch my drift. Well, the cure for that, “not feeling it” feeling is to play Hades 1 or 2. Before I know it, I’ve gone from half asleep to wide awake fully engaged wreaking havoc in Hades 1 or 2. I can’t think of a better pick up and play game that doesn’t require too much dedication. A run in Hades II can last 30 to 40 min (For me! I know you MFs are pros and can do it in 15), after the run, I am satisfied and end up going and playing those bigger RPG games, it’s like video game coffee to me. Hades games will forever remain in my top 5 fav video games of all time.

@ammarfarras1998 Месяц назад

I've never bought a game while it was in early access before, but ho boy.... Hades 2 is an exception, I've spent my weekend playing this game for almost 26 hours and haven't gotten bored in the slightest! Very good job for Supergiant Games, I can't imagine how big the full content release will be

I've been a fan of Supergiant ever since Bastion. They may have dropped the ball a bit with Pyre (heh), but that's just me splitting hairs at this point. If you guys haven't played Transistor yet, please do yourself a favor.

may be recency bias but i think it might be better than the original. the soundtrack for the sequel is phenomenal

@JamesCastle-vd1lc Месяц назад

after dumping 10s of hours into hades 2 and going back to play the first, i agree. the first one is still phenomenal but they really paid attention to what they should and shouldn't change in the sequel. chronos has to be one of the sickest final bosses i've seen in quite awhile. both in combat and dialogue
