Supergiant Games is streaming Hades II right NOW

I agree. This is the one picture that I don't feel as an improvement on the last game so far.
Right, I get why they did it for the first game, but then they made the game. My question is why they need early access again for a sequel that looks like it very much builds off the first game, it doesn't seem like a d drastic departure (but I don't know).
I feel a similar way about the Rogue Prince of Persia, which coming from the developers of Dead Cells wouldn't need early access again as they've already learnt so much the first time around.
I'm not saying the devs shouldn't be doing this by the way, I want these games to be as great as can be, I'm just curious as to why.
I mean, it's not like a "we did it once" so now we're experts kind of thing. There's just so much to combine and balance and balance with these things. Changing what they had before and adding to it and then mixing those two things. But new weapons intertwining with "old" and new boons with a moveset that's more focused on ranged attacks interacting with entirely new enemies.
This looks way different from the first game in terms of combat.
I mean, they've been working on it for 3 years and early access will be next month.
I generally think that Rogue-lite games turn out better in their full release when they start in early access.
Balance and player experience are super important in this genre. Slowly adding content to the game over time and getting feedback from a wide audience is the best way to do that. Just from watching the stream so far the combat also seems quite different.
hmmm...
this combat does not seem nearly as spammy
hopefully thats just the weapon they're using.
regardless this is gonna own

Looking at it and comparing it to the previous art, I think she looks too... spunky? Whereas in Hades 1 she had more of an aloof vibe to her.
That said, it makes sense that she's much friendlier with Melinoë than initially with Zagreus as she's very much associated with women.
Guess its heavily based on the first game. the few scenes I saw looked pretty close to the first games in terms of animations, effects and gameplay.
Have they said that melinoe is zag's sister? I never did all the extra relationship building stuff at the end of hades. Just kind of stopped after I got credits. I hope none of that is necessary story wise
Gonna be honest, the art is still lovely but the poses in most of those new portraits are a lot less dynamic and interesting than the originals.
I'm a massive Supergiant fan going all the way back to Bastion, so I'm pretty biased.
But this is like an 11/10 based on my first run. There's some key gameplay changes off the bat.
That could very much be it. In the first one she seemed more on guard, wary. There's a new confidence in her.
Yep. They confirmed that close to the start of the stream :)
They said it's a small set at the start, but they'll keep expanding over time. So even in a few days you could still get in I think. Didn't get anything yet either.
You could make ten games and still need people to tell you what feels good and feels bad.
