Hades II

I likely don’t need to tell you this, but did you know that Hades II is really damn good? It seems only natural that the follow up to 2020’s best game feels practically flawless out the gate, but I’m still too stunned by the fact that it exists to think too hard about that. It’s just sitting on my desktop waiting for me to make another run at Chronos, or actually make some headway above ground in Greece, and I hear the siren call of Scylla and her band calling me to the game at literally all times.

Hades 2 isn’t even complete, and yet it feels like everything I could’ve possibly asked for. There is so much depth to the current version of the game that I still haven’t tapped into, and there are probably still gorgeous characters to swoon over, and beautiful regions to gawk at. While we’ve all obviously got ideas of where Supergiant will go from here, the most exciting thing about the game right now is actually not knowing the twists it will continue to take throughout the early access period it’s currently in. So many people I trust were on the ground floor for the original Hades and got me excited about the journey that I’m now taking with Hades 2. Well, I’m sat and ready, Supergiant. Your move. —Moises Taveras
