Thanks for watching! I wanted to try a different style of video for Hades II and save my standard in depth review format for the 1.0 release of the game. Have a couple more non-standard review videos for this year. Also playing some Rogue Prince of Persia now so should next video should be on that.

Good breakdown. I've almost broken down and bought into the early access version, but I've always managed to hold myself back. I want more Hades in my life, but I also want the full experience with a complete ending and features.

Had to balance that myself too. Ended up just playing for a couple clears before putting it down for story reasons.

Won't come until at least 2025 for console, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait

I really love Hades, but Hades 2 comes kinda subpar. I mean I can see they try something different Different combat, story, building system etc. But it feels lacking and generally, slow? Combat doesnt give you the fast paced feeling of immortal god hacking and slashing through wretches, sometimes can be boring You die so easily, with new building system it is really hard to gather a complimenting boon set, sometimes it is really really weak. Mid bosses can be impossible for some weapon and boons, more often then first game I played for hours and killed chronos two times but didnt feel like getting permanent upgrades. Mirror of night upgrade system in first game was so simple and clear, in hades 2 I am collecting herbs and stones but I cant get a clear idea how much progress I made, what I need now? a pink flower or moon dust, where? And major joy kill for me was characters, I dont know how to explain but in first game everyone was so unique, different yet charming, I could feel relationship and interactions between them, this time, I couldnt feel that depth? Hard to explain, Zagreus was my boy, smug, easy going, fun yet deadly .. Melanoe, i dont know, fury sisters have more style and spice. Different enemies and attack patterns give you a real challenge it is fun but after Hours of grinding you still feel like they can beat you to a pulp, with just one wrong dash and here goes your half health bar.. Maybe Hades was soooo good it is hard to compete. I dont know, dont want to bad mouth new game for no reason.

Played close to 50 hours and I must say, Hades 2 takes a lot more time to get into cruising runs, but it has basically the same lightning fast speed of the first game. I can say that Hades 2 overtakes the first one at pretty much every corner, however, it really falls short at charisma. The first one was a personal journey and it was fun getting further and further just to see Persephone and prove Hades wrong, meanwhile the second one is just a revenge plot. Hades 2 is probably a better game, but Hades is undoubtably a better experience.

If i didnt enjoy hades 1 too much, because it felt too much of mashing dash and attack, would i like hades 2 more possibly?

@rikiyabut 3 ай бұрын

Possibly, I haven’t finished hades1 but i tried hades 2 recently and i liked it far more than hades 1

I bet you'd like Hades II more but it's hard to say exactly how much. You can't dash spam in the same way and the combat often feels a little less button mashy with Hades II allowing for a lot more slow, less attack spam style builds. But it's also still Hades DNA which is on the more attack spammy side compared to anything soulslike for example.
