who could have predicted supergiant could hit it out of the park twice thrice four times oh right i forgot they were just this consistently great
i think its very good as is. i know it is likely multiple people thnk that it will be worth it to wait until completion, and while i'm not going to say they're incorrect to do so, i'm going to do something i almost never do which is to argue for playing an early access version of a game. thats what below is, and if you don't care then my answer is its good areadly, and already has more to do than hades 1, at the cost of using more placeholder art and sketches.
i bought hades 1 IMMEDIATELY upon the announcement of it, even with early access. it's the reason i created an account on epic's godless platform. it was completely worth it. one of the most interesting things about myth is not necessarily the flexibility but the way that a single story can exist in multiple different forms while being the same story, and nothing quite captured that for me like the experience of playing hades 1 as it was built from the ground up. rooms and builds shifting being accompanied by the story readjusting, more coming into view. it's weird how well the early iteration being public fits hades and greek myth, and even moreso when you have a guaranteed finale unlike some sort of live service hell. i replayed hades for the first time since the original full release about a month ago and it's such a unique feeling going from the fireplace storytelling of my original save to reading carved tablets from millennia ago. right now you have the same opportunity to do so with hades two, and i recommend doing so for yourself so so sooo much.
