Has anyone played it? I’m really looking forward to Hades II but I’m not sure if early access is the move or to be patient.

I was invited to the beta and by the time I went to download it, it was over. Regret not getting to try it out to know if I should buy it. Hades is one of my most played games on Steam but I will probably wait to get it. I prefer buying my games once they are mostly polished.

It's excellent. There's missing art assets (placeholder graphics, especially noticeable with the keepsakes - they're all just gold rings with a single letter pricetag rn), but the gameplay loop is great, the mechanics all appear to be in place and the audio is incredible (just wait until the zone 2 boss fight).

It absolutely feels like a worthy successor to the original. Mel plays very differently than Zag, but the controls are no less tight. God Mode returns if you dislike "git gud".

Playing it on my Steamdeck, and thoroughly enjoying it.

2nd boss music has no right to go that crazy

I'm playing it and so far it's polished. I haven't made it to the first end area but Supergiant has already said that things and story can change throughout the EA. This is very similar to Hades 1 and I feel they are simply refining their EA approach. This seems to be a great way to engage with their customers and let the customers drive the final results.
