HADES surprised people when it was released in 2018, winning several awards, including the Hugo Award.
Personally, I’ve sunk over 100 hours into it, going through the challenge countless times and seeing it through to full completion.
I’m definitely not the only one who did this, as countless players couldn’t get enough of Hades’ Underworld.
Hades 2 is a sequel and fans will likely fall into one of two categories.
Either they loved the original and just want more, or they feel like they’ve seen enough of Hades and want something new.
There are a number of new ideas, starting with the new protagonist Melinoë who has a completely different combat style.
In addition to her new set of weapons, she has magic that can be spent to charge her normal attacks.
Melinoë also creates casts that trap people inside and can also damage or add debuffs to those inside.
In the hub world, Melinoë can also interact with several new systems, such as Tarot cards, which offer passive buffs, and tools to extract more resources during races.
There are a lot more resources here to find and spend in the hub world, and I found managing them all a bit tricky.
While there are many new ideas, it still feels very similar to the original, with the same style of dungeons and fluidity in battle.
That said, if you spent a lot of time with the original game, you’ll probably pass the test that ends with the first boss.
There wasn’t enough in the technical test to see how Hades 2 will separate itself from the original, but fans will definitely get more of what they love.
