Note: Unlike reviews, comments are considered temporary and may be deleted/purged without notice.It sucks because I love rougelikes and I love greek mythology, but like the first game, I just feel very "meh" about it.
At least with Hades 1 it would feel great when you get the right boons and are able to triple dash pushing every enemy away, reflecting projectiles, and clearing rooms in a few seconds. Here it feels like they took the fun out - my attacks feel like they don't do enough damage/enemy health pools are too big, seems harder to get broken builds, environments are more dull, NPCs are less memorable, weapons aren't as enjoyable to use. I didn't find Hades 1 particularly deep by roguelite standards, but at least I was having fun with it before it got repetitive.
I'll reserve my judgement until 1.0 comes out though. But for now I think I'll be putting the game down, hoping that it's in a better state next year.
Makes the game harder and makes you actually think about positioning more while in hades 1 you could just turn your brain off and just spam dash out of everything.
