This game is the most un roguelike roguelike game that is right now

I'll never understand why hades 1 was so well reviewed, it seems pretty bang average

A 94 MC sequel of a loved game does not have a OT?

It's a Switch 2 game so many are actively ignoring it.

Funny that we have so many PC people here and there is not an OT though, but one big reason is that people don't want to give the Switch a huge win, which this is. It also did a long period of early access so maybe it is old news to some PC folks, though 1.0 should bring them back.

Maybe there is an OT and I just haven't seen it.

Going to search right now. Has good steam metadata so nothing shocking here:

I don't know why i didn't keep on going Hades 1.
I reached the 10 or 12h mark then one day i just stopped playing
Can't even say why because I had a very good time playing it.

It isn't imho. Other roguelites and roguelikes are mediocre and don't give you enough incentives or upgrades. Some of them do, but I would argue that is partly because of Hades.

Hades has good story and is just very well done. It's like saying Expedition 33 is a bang average jrpg. What rogueslites you been playing that Hades is the average?

does it have cross save across platforms? So I can buy Switch 2 and Steam?

Cross-Saves w/ Nintendo Switch and PC

Among the additions coming in v1.0, Hades II offers cross-saves between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions, and the Steam and the Epic Games Store versions. If you've been playing in Early Access and wish to continue the journey on Nintendo's game consoles, you'll be able to transfer your save data through a simple in-game menu.

idk why people claiming this is GOTY when its been in a playable state for over a year now, We all know DK is the only fresh new title that came out this year that had fun gameplay. everything else has just been hype by indie cucks.

I dont like roguelikes, should I still play it? Guide me papitos

I'm like you, I gave the first one a shot, played a few enjoyable runs, then remembered that no, definitely no, I don't like rogue-likes and never will.

What's more fresh and new than E33. Didn't you know they invented a whole new genre and a whole new fresh battle system that's totally never been done before ever?

It's not a genre a play massively but I far far preferred both returnal and rogue legacy. Edit and Prey: moonshot, oh and death loop. All were much more enjoyable.

Waiting for a console release but I'm curious if the 1.0 of Hades II has just as much content as the first Hades had when it launched on console? Hades was my GOTY but that's because the game was complete & included a extended epilogue. Not the kind if game I'd want to wait for updates for if they plan on updating the games story etc past 1.0.

Yea what a huge L for PC gamers, who have had access to Hades 2 for 1.5 years.

 

[Dacvak]

Ahhhh, I was going to hold off on this game but it's super tempting to pick it up right away…

 

[Icylobster]

Excited to play, last time I played was the Olympus update. I didn't play it that much either, most of my time was before it.

New file vs old file?

Probably going to try a new. But I saw that you can transfer saves from Steam so I'll probably check out my old file to.

Halloween timing is fun!

It's been a pretty decent year for rogue-lites.

The Rogue Prince of Persia came out of Early Access this year too, and I'd put it in my top 10 games this year. Some of the best feeling traversal in the genre, and I can see in the combat it comes from people who worked on Dead Cells.

Shape of Dreams, Abyssus and Witchfire (still in early access) are other good offerings to play this year.

Hades 1 was pretty great, so I got this today on Switch 2 and put a couple hours in. So far? Hades 2 is also pretty great. It's a slight refinement on the original in most respects, and it's doing enough different to not feel like a rehash. I am finding the Mel/Hecate dynamic to be not quite as compelling as Zag/Hades, though to be fair it's still quite early.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I wish I was good at OT. It's a shame a true contender for game of the year has no OT.
