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:

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

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'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.

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.

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

So I played for a couple of hours this evening.
God damn is it impressive. I didn't think I'd go in and like the protagonist change, but I really like her. The devs absolutely nailed the early narrative and gameplay. The voice acting and writing are industry leading. I played with headphones and it makes a huge difference. I can easily see this becoming my GotY.

Wait wait wait. I can go buy NS2 and pick up my stream progress?
Has anyone tested this?
If so I'll double dip tomorrow. That's an amazing feature if true.

Someone be a hero and make an OT for this game. It really deserves it.
This will probably end up being higher for me than Silksong, and I absolutely loved Silksong.

I thought the same and i still prefer zagreus dashes but you get used after a while.
In theory, the invicibility during the run is more op than zagreus dodges if you know how to use it.

It has atleast double the content of Hades 1 . There are 2 complete paths this time and they are just as long if not longer than the 1 path of Hades 1.
As far as the story it was just about there at the end of early access so I feel the game will be complete now in 1.0
2 things I like that they improved on.
Now you can not only re roll your reward giver but now also reroll the rewards them selves. The dice are also easier and earlier to unlock for rerolls.
Secondly the adaptive difficulty. The first game had this a bit too but this time if you get a OP build early the game sometimes throws A Fing Shit tonne of enemies at you even in the earlier stages, where you are like Holy shit what the F was that!

Yeah I already have somethin crazy like 90 hours into the early access so I started a new playthrough and its funny seeing the ways they throw in obstacles to keep you from getting too far too early.
Lookin at you

The visual clarity is sometimes lacking. Sometimes there are so many effects on the screen it is nigh impossible to see where to dodge.
The visual novel style narrative is interesting. Visual style is interesting. I would be interested to check out a Hades comic or animation.

I love the added auto attack bind when holding left trigger on controller. Carpal tunnel preventers rock.

Hades 2 in early access already had more content than hades 1.0 dude, i think it's safe to say that hades 2 1.0 absolutely dwarf hades 1.0.

I am, was the same. Dropped off Hades and all rogue games pretty quickly. But for some unfathomable reason I couldn't stop playing Returnal. I beat it and loved it to bits - a masterpiece. Since then I'm back at dropping rouge games very quickly. It's strange how some games just grip you to your core. I think i will give Hades 2 a try at some point, but I don't expect much.

I had 7 hours in the first build of early access. Now that I started the game again from scratch I found it easy to make huge progress. I made it to the final boss of the downwards path in maybe my fifth run!
I'm now 13 hours in and far beyond in some regards than in the early access version.
Ps. I think there are added elements even in the early game. I'm pretty sure but can't confirm.
Edit: I made a mistake. My total hours of playtime is now 13 hours in Steam that is!

I really wish I could have this sort of divine revelation, and maybe I will in the future.
But so far, something doesn't sit right with me if the world is generated procedurally; it feels like nothing matter, I'm not immersed because I'm clearly in a "videogame" if that makes any sense.
One of my favorite gaming memory was realizing how interconnected the world was in Dark Souls 1. My favorite game of the last 10 years is rain world, another very interconnected environment.
Procedural environments just cannot give me what I'm after, so far.

You might be more after exploring a world. Games like Hades are more about creating a optimised build for your character.

Wait, what? You just bind attack to left trigger and hold it down?
John Bilbo
Member
I think it is a default setting: pull down left trigger and you do the standard attack and special combos over and over again by just holding down the correspondent button.
If you don't hold down the left trigger you have to tap the attack button or special button again and again to gain the same effect.
If you don't hold down the left trigger and just press down the attack or special button you will do a power attack which takes some time to wind up: a different move entirely.
Edit: To clarify the attack and special buttons are binded on the face buttons of the controller. The left trigger works as an auto fire toggle you have to hold down to activate.

Almost beat Chronos on my second try. And met Hades.
The skull weapon is my favourite so far.
