What a treat! I missed out on the technical test and thought there would be one to wait… instant day one purchase for me.
I'm intrigued by the look of the new weapons, I'm warming up to the staff but it's not an immediate favourite. I think my previous most used were the gloves and bow in Hades 1, I wonder what it'll be this time around.

Do we have a sense yet of the amount of content in this release? Is this more like a barebones work-in-progress or more like a nearly complete game?
Bought the first game in Early Access and I'm more than happy to continue supporting SG in this way, just curious about what to expect

Shout-out to the Daedalus Hammer that let's me gain 5 health back after each Omega Attack kill. That had me beaming while I was down to one health.
Yes. This is a direct sequel. A standalone story, but still a sequel.
They got the soundtrack up on their Youtube. They're ready to rule the world.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
"Hades II in Early Access already has more environments, foes, and fully-voiced characters than the full version of the original Hades game. But it isn't complete, and key areas, characters, foes, narrative events, and systems are still to come.
I had sold a Dota item today to buy this, but apparently the money is "pending" so I have to wait 1-2 days to access the Steam Wallet money. 😡

I can't say I lost my edge because I was playing Hades I just past week, but I kind of suck at this. I should be able to beat the first boss, but it's like the gameplay tweaks are calling out all of my bad habits, crutches and instincts.
Hoo boy I was going to wait for a couple of updates and HDR before jumping in but my ex is the sweetest girl in the world and gifted this to me on Steam so I guess I'm jumping in as soon as I'm done with work! WOO HOO!
oh my god its like a cozy familiar blanket that just had a wash
so fresh but so familiar and lovely
hnggggggggggggggg

Obligatory, "your ex?" Watcha doing?? Sounds like wife material!
(Reality is life isn't that simple lol. Congrats! Sounds like you guys have stayed friends which is rare and deserves to be celebrated.)
Insta-bought when I got home and played couple of runs already. Got to the second boss and unlocked more stuff... and now I'd like to play more even thought I need to go to bed...
Spent 100 hours in Hades 1 and got all the achievements, but still Hades 2 feels really fresh. Everything I loved about H1 is here; story, characters and gameplay, but there seems to be even more of everything already, even if it's EA.
Can't wait to play more!

Lol, haven't gotten to boot it up yet but this sounds about like what I'd expect from supergiant. Absolute masters of the medium.
just tried this on ultrawide
wowowowow
Hopefully they let you limit the HUD bounds later down the road, not a fan of the hud not being 16:9 or even 21:9 when on a 32:9 display
makes it hard to keep track of health/armor and mana on the fly mid-combat.

Life is indeed very messy. We're long distance and live in different states (we lived in the same state when we started dating). I also live right behind my ex-wife, with whom I have a daughter (and with whom I also have a very happy and healthy friendship), so that makes the long distance much harder and more complicated. We decided for now that being friends is easier than trying to prop up the relationship with all of the insecurities and longing that distance introduced. She is amazing, though, and we game together all of the time and talk every day still.

Still can't beat boss one. 4 hours of sleep last night is catching up with me. Gotta take a nap before I jump back in. Fuck I'm old.
It's cheap on Steam right now (66% off here in the US). It's certainly less of a risk to give it a shot and see if you like the gameplay loop, style, etc., and if you do and you get hooked, this will always be there. :)
I'd say yes. This is a direct sequel, and it's not like you're "going back" to something dated or stale by playing Hades first. It dominated GOTY lists everywhere for a reason, and is still an absolute joy to play. Honestly it's one of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time. It's also less than $10 USD right now on Steam so you're in luck.
Hades 1 in general is a 10/10 definitely give it a play and finish, sale on Steam too.
Thanks, I already own the game I just never really got into it, just gave it a quick try and thought it was fun but I had other things going on at the time lol
Think i'll wait for the 1.0 release of Hades 2 and play Hades 1 instead
So how is the Meta progression that carries over between runs in this one? It's something I tend to really like in roguelites, like how in rogue legacy even a shitty run will make you a bit stronger for the next one. Heard they revamped the meta progression compared to Hades 1?
Exactly the same with me, beat it a few times but less than 10 so I have unfinished business there. Will start a file from scratch.
I bought Hades 2 because I wanted it day one in my account but I don't dare install it, I don't want to get hooked now before it has all the content and before I'm done with the first. Patience will pay off here.
Really prominent. Hades has probably the most impactful roguelike progression I've ever seen and 2 seems about on par even though things are a little different. It might be even more so because there are immediately multiple permanent resources you're picking up all the time.
