"Hades 2, the follow-up to the Nebula-award-winning 2020 roguelike, has finally emerged from Early Access into its hotter, more complete 1.0 self. And what better way to get a sense of how the game sits with folks than by perusing the treasure trove of honesty, snark, and silliness that is the Steam user reviews section? Hades 2 has generated an interesting dichotomy of perspectives. Positive reviews speak to the joy of this game: engaging gameplay with a gorgeous aesthetic and even more gorgeous characters."
"Interestingly, negative reviews are most often skewering the ending. We won't spoil how the game ends here, of course, but it's worth noting that a common thread among those who soured on Hades 2 by the end of it concerns the way it tries to wrap everything up. But sometimes great narrative experiences don't tie everything together as well as we might hope and yet, as a whole, still deliver a satisfying ride nonetheless."
Hades 2 emerged from Early Access as a hotter, more complete 1.0 release, building on the Nebula-award-winning 2020 roguelike. Player reactions split between enthusiastic praise and disappointment: many celebrate engaging combat, a gorgeous aesthetic, improved characters, and clear refinements that make the sequel hard to put down. A notable portion of players emphasize strong sexualized character design. Criticism concentrates on the ending, with several players feeling the finale tries to wrap everything up in an unsatisfying way. Despite some narrative complaints, many players still find the overall experience satisfying and a successful evolution of the original gameplay loop.
