Hades II Reviews

it has more stuff than the first game but still needs more time good non the less has alot of fun content imo worth getting

Currently the game's in early access, but honestly, if you liked the first one, you will definitely want this one. It's more of the same, except different! New characters, new story, new weapons, new boons, new passive abilities, new side bs to do, new decorations you don't need, new environments... all of them of the same high quality as the first game... what's not to love?! It's not even done and it's already my game of whatever year it comes out!

Hades is one of the all-time great arcade-ish action-fest roguelikes, and its sequel promises to be bigger and better. The art is gorgeous, the game play is silk-smooth, and the new protagonist is a winsome and kindly minor deity. Some caveats for fans of the first Hades - Hades II is not yet complete, and there are a few holes (stand-in artwork, etc.), and (at least for me) the combat was significantly harder than in Hades -- even with every advantage and on the easiest mode, I struggle with the fast action and bullet-hell fights. I would love an even easier version, but despite my frustration, I come back to the game for its visual appeal and "between-fights" charms. I'm usually terrible at insta-death arcade-type action games, but I love this one nevertheless.

For a game that's still in early access it has an obscene amount of content, more than the first Hades. Very recommended, it's amazing.

Early access it may be, but it's just an enjoyable as Hades 1 with continued excellence in story telling, voice acting and gameplay.

Honestly it's a lot of fun and if you like Greek mythology, rogue lights, baller music and just having a great time this game is for you

Played it before the major update and it was kind of meh but now is pretty good, I'd say on par with Hades 1, and there are still 2 more major updates in the works too so I'm excited to see how much better it gets. I will say it is moderately harder (you start weaker imo) and moderately more grindy (due to the gathering/crafting) than the first game but I like it, might not be everyone's cup of tea but I genuinely think its going to be significantly better than Hades 1 when its finished. PS: It's helping me survive till skong should it ever be released

Peak roguelike Peak gaming Took me 23 hours to beat the game. I really loved playing it, and the difficulty level is perfect. The game's art style is amazing. The only thing I don’t like is that some weapons are hard to get and time-consuming. I finished the game with the Sister Blades (the second weapon to unlock). Highly recommend this game—absolutely worth the money. 11/10 game for sure!

Just play it. you'll die, get upset about your reaction time and try again. some runs are legendary, and some runs are "what am i even doing right now?". and an actual story throughout, not just menus of upgrades. Peak rogue-like in my opinion. Hades OG is the reason i play so many rogue-likes, and this simply reinforces my affinity for the genre.

At the start i thought it was worse than the first, now i think its twice as good. How do you make a game twice as good as a 10/10 game ? It's not even finished...
