Hades II Early Access Review: A Worthy Successor

Hades II enters Early Access as one of the most polished and content-rich games in the program's history. Even in this early state, it's clear Supergiant has another masterpiece on their hands.

Melinoë's Journey

Playing as Melinoë, Zagreus's sister, you'll descend into the underworld to confront Chronos, the Titan of Time. The narrative is as compelling as the original, with the same excellent voice acting and character development.

Refined Combat

Combat feels familiar yet fresh. The new Omega attacks add a charge mechanic that rewards patient, strategic play. The expanded weapon roster and new boon system provide even more build variety than the original.

9.2
MASTERPIECE
