Originally Published 1 year ago — by The A.V. Club

The alpha build of Hades II shows that Supergiant's sequel is already delivering an incredibly satisfying experience, with familiar but enjoyable gameplay, new character Melinoë, and a focus on fun and smooth action gaming. The addition of a mana bar and new combat mechanics adds depth to the gameplay, while the game's structure and progression remain engaging. While the sequel may not bring revolutionary changes, it promises to provide the same level of satisfaction as its predecessor.
