This review is subject to change because it being in EA and all that. This is all based on my experience before 1.0.
I’m pretty confident to say I think I’m done with the game for now. And I absolutely love this game and they did so well making Hades 2 feel new and refreshing.
Hades 1 is my favorite roguelike ever. I can confidently say this game is a phenomenal sequel. The amount of content in the early access is insane.
There needs more work to be done with the weapons and boons (cough cough Hestia). Overall though it’s impressive how well everything synergizes already.
Once there’s more story content I’ll pick this game up again. There’s a lot missing right now when it comes to the story.
If you love roguelikes and loved Hades 1 it’s definitely worth picking up even if it’s not finished.

The continuing of the hit game Hades is an example of a sequel gone right. The addition of mana makes the game feel like a breathe of fresh air. My rating can only go up after the game officially releases.
Not giving a rating since it's so clearly unfinished but what's here is really impressive. If the final product can deliver on what is promised this will be a notable step up from the original.
Shelved till more content comes out but this game is an absolute blast. Super Giant has put more love, care, and polish into this unfinished game than most AAA studios put into entire franchises. Absolutely one to watch and I can't wait for the full release.
Flawless building upon the base set in Hades while still feeling fresh. Incredibly fun gameplay and variety of viable approaches combined with additional challenges makes for a ton of replayability (and the game isn't even finished yet!)
Beat Eris and Chronos. So there isnt much left for me to do right now. But the game is pretty much perfect and an excellent sequel to another perfect game. Good job Supergiant you continue to make perfect games.
Os criadores fizeram um ABSURDO de gameplay aqui, ansioso pelo lançamento final.

Reviewed in early access:
Yeah from the moment I knew there was a musical boss in an underwater area, I knew this would be one of my favorites. Hades 2 somehow takes the already incredible groundwork that was the first game, and adds resource management. The progression feels so much more earned than before, you never noticed how vital the things like the chests were back in Hades 1 were until they took them away from you, but having to go back and do runs everytime, then do a new run with your new stuff feels so amazing. The new arcana system especially I love, the upgrades are so good I'd get them all, but having to swap out each one for your best build is so good.
The best thing I could say about this game is that it feels like they took every little idea they had from Hades 1, and put it in this game. They doubled what you can do with not just the surface, but also spicing up each individual area to make them different. The withering fields was a standout, with a semi open world area with little goodies being amazing. So many new characters alongside new interactions with returning ones. The music is amazing, the graphics are amazing, the charm is off the walls when your able to find it (the music boss and chronos's pause menu). Its one of the rare sequels that feels like it enhances the original, on top of being an incredible game in its own right. Its so peak, and unless Metaphor ends up being secretly ass, this is easily my game of the year.
Id give it a 6/5 if we had a nemesis and eris romance route

With Hades, Supergiant Games made the best thing since sliced bread and now they made the best thing since that.
A good portion of the game has yet to come and I'm super excited for it.

For a early access game this is just too good.
oh no he's hot 2
um... girls
Having reached the current ends of both dungeons once now, I think I can solidly say that Supergiant are hitting it out of the park yet again. As a sequel, it feels familiar, but it's tweaked and added just enough to the first game's formula to give it its own unique flavor. Being in early access, it's left me wanting MORE (more weapon aspects, more incantations, more familiars, more finished character sprites PLEASE), but I know that MORE is coming and I couldn't be more thrilled with that.
I also still adore Supergiant's interpretations of Greek figures so much. So entertaining and full of character. Some of the new characters in this game made my former Greek mythology kid self scream like I was meeting a celebrity.

EARLY ACCESS: Supergiant doesn't miss. "How could they improve upon Hades?" They did. You can tell they've been thinking about a lot of these additions and changes for a long time. This is a game made (or currently being made) with purpose. Supergiant doesn't miss.
I've yet to fully beat the game but as a huge fan of the original this game is a true sequel to an amazing first game.
for a preview build this is expansive and the hades formula is addicting as always. I have no doubt the full game is gonna make me bust rope but for now its a solid 8/10.
The weapons need a complete rework but its amazing in every other aspect
THIS LOG IS OUTDATED, THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF THE GAME NOW
I think I'm good until the next couple of major updates or the release of 1.0, while I think the things that made its predecessor good are still there and improved tenfold, there are many things I'm pretty much not entirely convinced about yet. For instance, the Arcana System is not great, and I find the buffs it provides very underwhelming compared to the remarkable upgrade system that the mirror was, I don't really like any of the Nocturnal Arms, enemy damage in later areas feels overtuned, and take too fucking long to die, and for some reason every boss summons adds now.
I know some of these issues are fundamental and might not get addressed, but to prevent souring my own experience any further, I'll put this one on pause for the time being.
Also, I'm sure there are a lot of Nemesis fans already that see her and go "I can fix her". I don't want to fix her.
I want to push her off a bridge after saying this.

ゲームはまだ早期アクセス中であり、改善の余地がありますが、私はレビュー時点で初代のゲームよりも劣っていると感じました。
"É um ótimo jogo para matar o tempo."
Muito bom, levando em consideração o retorno de alguns personagens e algumas referências, se torna melhor ainda pra quem jogou o primeiro.
A gameplay segue excelente, juntamente com o design e da trilha sonora, compõem os três melhores aspectos desse jogo. Alguns elementos ainda precisam de ajustes, como o número de inimigos no tártaro e certos inimigos específicos que estão meio fortes demais (ou fracos demais), porém, nada que vá de fato atrapalhar a experiência.
Nota-se o fato de que o jogo está em acesso antecipado, portanto todos estes elementos "negativos" apontados acima certamente serão corrigidos, a empresa desenvolvedora sempre mostrou um excelente trabalho neste aspecto. Justamente em função do acesso antecipado, nota-se alguns elementos ainda não finalizados como algumas artes e designs, porém, que virão a serem concluídos conforme o seguir das atualizações, portanto, não apresentam problema digno de crítica, apenas observação.
O principal ponto a ser observado é a não conclusão da história (por motivos já explicados), porém, que certamente será concluída com o passar das atualizações. A ultima área da superfície não está disponível no jogo, bem como a área pós Cronos. Apesar disso, a desenvolvedora se mostra novamente atenta aos detalhes e carinhosa com os fãs, desenvolvendo diálogos específicos para estes momentos, brincando com a situação com frases como "Por enquanto estas áreas estão bloqueadas, é uma questão de TEMPO até que seja possível acessa-las". Estes diálogos foram desenvolvidos especificamente para interagir com os jogadores do acesso antecipado, uma vez que provavelmente não estarão presentes na versão final com as áreas completas.
Destaque final para a legenda em PT-BR que está excelente, muito bem adaptada e com várias referências especiais para nós brasileiros!

Everything that made the first game an excellent experience returns, with some tweaks to give Hades 2 a unique feel. While it clearly needs some polishing, as it is still in early access, I am confident that the full release will be at least as good as, if not better than, Hades.
After almost 50 hours into the Early Access for this game, I can safely say that making a sequel was a great idea. Hades was a great game and they've managed to spice up the formula enough to not only justify another title, but they've also actively tweaked some systems and such to make the experience feel very fresh and arguably better than its predecessor at times.
Melinoe is a fun protagonist and I very much enjoy the new weapons and environments that come with the sequel (minus a few blemishes here and there). The game isn't finished, and I've managed to hit more than a couple instances of incomplete art, storylines, ways to progress, etc. But even then I'd argue the Early Access is more than worth your time if you enjoyed the first one and don't mind waiting for the game to gradually be completed.
Supergiant are wizards and have once again managed to wow me with their unique art style, fluid gameplay, and overall solid experience that's more than worth the $30 ticket to entry. I may be mostly done with the game for now but I'll almost certainly hop on and do a few runs here and there, especially when more content is added periodically.

looking forward to complete this game soon, will buy it in some weeks
i have no idea how a studio can so thoroughly NAIL making roguelike progression gripping. and twice, to boot! having the first one be so well crafted could still have been lightning in a bottle, but nailing it twice with quite a lot of shake-ups just confirms Supergiant know exactly what they are doing
getting this in Early Access was a must for me, as getting through the EA period for the first one was one of my favorite relationships I developed with a game
also, how the fuck do they do Early Access so well too? THAT's the real witchcraft

Yeah that's the sequel to Hades. If you liked the first game, you'll probably like this one.
It's only in early access, but you're getting more video game out of this than a lot of full releases at twice the price, and that alone is worth of praise.

holy fuckkkkkk this is sooo good dude oh my god I love it I love it I'm obsessed.
Like I thoroughly enjoyed Hades 1 but I wasn't absolutely entranced by it, it was a game I picked up occasionally and after a while (I am sorry) I skipped dialogue and kinda just focused on beating it.
But this one hell no, oh my god it's amazing so far i loveee it

- Review after finishing both current routes 3 times each -
Hades 2 is everything we expected and everything it should be as a sequel to Hades 1. The gameplay is similar enough to immediately be recognized as a sequel to Hades, but different enough to be engaging for all players, regardless of if they played Hades before.
The focus on ranged combat and the magic system take some getting used to, but can be extremely satisfying after some time. The boons work similarly to the first game, but have a lot more depth to them and can create some insane synergies if used correctly.
The changes to the dash discourage the braindead dashing all around the place the first game was known for and put more focus on mindful and strategic gameplay, befitting the theme of a ranged-focused witch we are now playing.
As if this wasn't enough, the game has a tremendous amount of content to offer in upgrades, difficulty levels, routes and many more things that build on what made Hades 1 so engaging and fun to play.
While I was skeptical at first, I can wholeheartedly give this game a 10/10 and cannot wait for the full release.
Also Chaos hottest character (fight me)
