Hades 2 is my favorite trashy TV show. What's better, it's interactive. Warsong, the roguelike's latest major update, marks the third theatrical exploit in Melinoë's journey, charted through Early Access to an unpredictable (and therefore incredibly exciting) release schedule. The plot thickens with each episode as new and familiar faces alike get added to the mix, stirring up enough domestic drama to put The Bold and The Beautiful's 38-year foibles to shame. Meanwhile, rebalanced boons and arcana systems mean that the game is constantly changing – and what do you mean there's a new animal familiar?
It's everything I love about playing Hades 2 in Early Access. Just like a soap opera, missing even one update can spell the difference between knowing the cast inside out and losing the plot entirely. The final v1.0 release version is bound to look very different from its current standing, but there's something rewarding about the challenges of having to relearn an ever-changing meta while staying on top of all the narrative twists and turns Hades 2 has to offer – and I wouldn't have it any other way.
