The first game was amazing. This one really doesn't feel unfinished as-is though. There's likely to be tons of balance changes, and I'm sure there will be bug fixes and more performance optimization updates to come... It's still super fun, why wait
Some art will probably be replaced too. I remember Charon in the original hades had his generic robed character portrait replaced with a better one. Zagreus even complimented him on his new look when it was added to the game, which was a nice touch.
Yes, it’s unfinished, but my experience with the original Hades is that Supergiant knows how to make sure their product is at a certain level of polish before making EA available. I haven’t played much, but they seemed to hit the mark again.
Guess the first one was even worse than this one at this stage of development, but nobody knew about the game yet. I'm still waiting for the finished product (as I did with the first one), I don't want to spoil me.
Cool, it'll still be there when you're ready.
When I was younger and had more time to not worry about merely existing, I used to enjoy chasing the updates and trying to find every glitch and exploit and do as much silly shit as possible before patches went live.
I'm just enjoying the game at my own pace. If/when I encounter bugs or issues I'll report them, but it's not like you have to dedicate yourself to it.
