Hades 2 is a spectacular game. Its compelling gameplay loop continues to add depth and give players more to work with, one-upping the original title.

In 2020, Supergiant Games treated us to the excellent rogue-lite Hades, the first of its kind, which was praised by critics and the public alike. On May 6, 2024, the talented independent studio unexpectedly released the very first sequel in its history in early access: Hades 2.

Hades II is a benchmark for the genre. The story, characters, writing, and art direction exceed the expectations set by the original Hades.

While the ending is extremely disappointing, I can confidently recommend Hades II to everyone, regardless of whether you've played other entries in the genre or not.

With gods and goddesses galore, Hades II returns to the chthonic abyss as Underworld Princess Melinoë. Sporting outstanding presentation and exciting action combat, it makes for a heart pounding and engaging adventure on the path to slay Time Titan Chronos.

Ultimately, despite its repetitive nature, Hades 2 is simply more Hades, and that’s not a bad thing. The story is compelling, the characters, dialogue, and line delivery are fantastic, the combat is more thoughtful than the first game, and there’s twice as much level and boss variety compared to Hades 1. It’s an excellent sequel, even if being more of the same didn’t always strike the right chords for me.
