Hades 2 review

Key art of Hades 2. Melinoe raises her ghostly green arm above her head with magical stars and streaks around her. The dark violet background is split between a view of constellations and a skeleton man.

Hades 2 almost had me questioning Supergiant's decision to make its first sequel. I loved Hades, which brought all of the studio's past experience to bear on a killer action game for the roguelike curious, but I wasn't convinced a sequel would be a better follow-up than whatever new idea for a game Supergiant could come up with next.
