What goes wrong
Boring writing compared to the first one, absolutely cringe tier dialogue and character interactions.
here my gameplay: farm stupid items, and dialogs (the most annoying), in the moment i finish the game i dont really wanna to challenge anything (max vows or at least to look how many you can get)...
A great game ruined by poor game design I cannot enjoyt this game with the final boss being too difficult to complete. Unfortunately cannot recommend this to anyone.
Fun for a while but it gets repetitive and boring fast
This is obnoxious and made me feel uncomfortable within like 1 minute of play.
What goes well
fantastic game, game of the decade. love it. everyone should play it.
After 30+ hours in Hades II, I can confidently say this game is ridiculously good. If you enjoy roguelikes and fast-paced combat, this one is absolutely worth your time.
This is one of the best games in every possible sense: the storyline, gameplay, graphics, and even music.
It's really good value for money and from my first impressions just as good if not better than Hades 1.
wonderful game and the artwork is AMAZING

this is an awesome game absolutely worth buying and playing through 9.5/10 unlike hades 1 i actually was not getting sick of the game when playing for 100% achievements, perfect length tbh ton...
Great game, I hope the next supergiant game is a linear story, the roguelike formula lends itself to this one in particular but I cannot lie it gets a little exhausting clearing runs just to...
I really enjoyed this game. Now, I may be biased, as I’ve been playing the Hades series for a while now, but I found that Hades 2 was definitely polished and well-thought through.
