I'm surprised this game didn't change his life
come now, you gotta know that´s the title for the second video
I think asmon doesn't even manage this channel and it's his editor or something that makes the title
@@Daryl90 No way, really!?
I don't know why but i still like death must die more than any other in this genre.
This game here and "Kill knight" have more action but i somehow like the simplicity and randomness of death must die alot
"She looks like she works at kotaku"
LMAO 😂I'm fuckin dead😂
Just wait for it, it's gonna be a trilogy. Zagreus and Melinoë have another sister, Macaria.
Cant wait for the greatest tooth keepsake.
Plot twist you play as their daughter. As greek mythology goes it isnt too farfetched.
@@Splendorius no thats fucked up, but yes that makes sense. 😖
@@Splendorius pretty certain that they did not have kids in the mythology
@@monstrosity598 Mel and Zag were in Greek mythology, look them up it's wild lol i thought they were made for the game at first
Hades had me singing for weeks "Good-bye to all the plans that we made🎵🎵🎶🎶"
@ukgyt99 the siren song had no business going in as hard as it did!
"Good riddance" its the songs name
Sameeee lol. I remember the first game I always went out of my way to get to Eurydice just to hear the song again.
@@yaguito49 one of my fav
40:45 have a listen for about 60 seconds. Hades set the standard for OST quality during GAMEPLAY, not just cutscenes.
he's going to go from "this game changed my life" to "this game transitioned me"
Next is "this game transformed me"
Asmon is like a squirrel let out of a cage at first chance he gets to control the player character
God saves from the nonsense
Jesus f*cking Christ the people who wanna hate on this game for somehow being woke for ......some reason lol give me the best laughs lmao
@kostasspirou1010 If those two things trigger people they have deeper mental issues than a video game xD
@kostasspirou1010 Agreed
I thought I was losing my mind seeing all this “woke” BS but glad to see level headed gamers in the comments
It's obviously pretty woke in a few areas, but it is still a very well designed game. Hades 1 is still better, woke aside.
@@revelation2-9 it's just a game. if you get mad that easily, seek therapy.
As soon as 32:29 came around with that army of pinhead fish, I asked myself if he is going to recall that cast can root them and channeling it can one hit dozens or is he going to kill them with only attack and special. Guess I'll keep watching and see when he starts using it. edit: so never, he does realize about 35 minutes into the second video playing this. Honestly it feels SG though cast was so underused in the first game that they made it the strongest attack and utility move in game.
"So i tried The Rain, Formerly Known as Purple"
Lmfao “how did that hit me?! 😡 😤” literally runs right into it
Practically every streamer I've seen that's playing this game doesn't bother reading like 10 words on their screen to understand what 6 very simple controls do and spend the next hour or so wondering what their moves are. Lmao.
Aimbot stave + Poseidon is how I got my first kill. After that Ive killed Cronos several times, but that was not even close to what aimbot build did. He discoverd (probably) best combo in a game by accident
only 37 hours of hades is crazy
It's insane how he got the double moonshot poseidon in his third run. That's arguably one of the most broken builds rn.
Then proceeds to get nearly the same build again right after lmfao his luck on that last run was insane
It’s literally just 2 boons to break the game, you can get them almost every run if you try
they're gonna need to nerf it a bit 😆
@@45noop sure there are plenty of those, Zeus blitz+ Apollo solar ring is insane, really good on staff attack blitz
can someone tell asmon that his camera has been to large in his videos lately lol
Blocking all the juice 😡
❤ It looks like a direct sequel to Hades 1 which is exactly what I wanted to play. I still play Hades 1 on Switch. Can’t wait
"which ones is the axe?" ...takes him 10 seconds to register the word "axe", does not know a sheep from a goat, misreads half the boons and didn't notice that each cast shot two spells shile asking where his double cast buff was. Wow...dude, eats glue.
After spending hundreds of hours in the first game, my first two hours here was essentially "why the hell is the dash recovery so long??" "o yea sprint lmao"
10/10 gardening sim
nice copy paste xdd
Poseidon put so much work into that last run it's a shame he didn't beat it
Melinoe: is a girl
Asmongold: "Ew, yucky."
"idk why they made the main character a girl" oh it's one of those videos. Jfc
He wasn't kidding when he said he was slow on the uptake...
"I don't know why they made the character a girl"
Because change is good sometimes.
People today just love to whine over nothing.
Hestia makes sense as a granny. She is one the oldest gods period. She usually wears a shawl that covers her face and she is plain. She represents the home and hearth. She is also usually a virgin so I’m fine with this art. 🤷♂️
Exactly!!! It’s amazing watching someone comment about all these characters with literally no idea about the basics of the mythology behind them. I guess it’s to be expected from this guy though 😂
Its funny to me how people say that combat is much worse in Hades 2 because its slower. Easiest way to play H1 was to spam dash and be invincible almost all the time, you can't do that in the sequel and that alone makes the game much cooler. Spamming Athenas dash was such a braindead strat, I hated that
But this is slower not only because of the dash. Omega moves are obnoxiously slow for a melee build and half of all the boons rely on them, requiring you to disengage before using. Sprinting is also heavily incentivized but attacks cancel it. There are no enemies that punish ranged builds and many that reward it. They could get rid of dash spam without screwing up all the fight mechanics.
@@RomeoTheOptimistyou don’t need to disengage to use charge moves when they all slow down time dramatically lol
among that there is also an hermes boon that gives you a 1 hit absorption every time you sprint with no cooldown, some balance changes are clearly needed
@@RomeoTheOptimist agreed ranged combat is too safe. Especially when you use cast to slow down enemies, I hope they will balance it somehow, but I am not sure some rougelikes just suffer from ranged combat being too strong.
It's amazing and I love it. The only issue I can think of that bothers me is how similarish all the boons feel. In the 1st game for example for casts basically every single one of them was different depending on which god you picked which made it really fun messing around with different stuff, as for Hades 2 you dont have as much options. Then again the game is in early access and I feel like we can place good faith on Super Giant on making the game even more amazing
I too wished to play as Zagreus and thought Melinoe was going to be groan inducing but she is a great character. She is more humble and "scared" compared to Zagreus which makes sense because she needs to save the world while Zagreus was just a rebel who didn't want to obey daddy then turned out it gets more serious and dramatic
Something funny happens when you fight Chronos tho I won't spoil it
When you eventually reach the end of the early access, the message states much more to come so I'm HYPED AS HECK BROTHER. The game is already doubled compared to 1
Melinoë is also FILLED with self-doubt which honestly makes her interesting and, like you said, humble.
I'm glad they introduced a new lesser known (obscure tbh) god as the MC.
And the theme blends so well with everything new they introduce, the Arcana cards, the Hex, Animal companions, Cauldron etc.
44:34 Scylla: Down Down
Asmon: FCK!FCK!FCK!FCK!FCK!
😂😂
I always find it amusing when no one questions why the main character was a male, but if it's a female we "don't know why they made her a female". Maybe the same reason the first game had a male, they just decided it was cool. There are two sexes so why tf not, as long as the gameplay is good who cares.
No just DEI
@@Chuzzel No, it's because Zagreus has two sisters.
@@jillreyerma7592 people really be forcing themselves to make something up to hate to fit their agenda
Transistor, they changed the main character around in development from the guy to the girl. It just worked for what they were doing. It wasn't "woke", because it wasn't forced. Same here. They haven't done it because the ESG told them or because Sweet Baby Inc said they had to. They did it because they wanted to.
It's only because of recent controversies in the movie/tv/videogame industry that people are talking about, that they raise eyebrows. Guess people have forgot that just cause it's a female protagonist, doesn't mean it's bad. If it's well written, then it's well written.
@@Chuzzel Touch grass, like, A LOT of it.
"Few tales are told of Hades, whose reign as grim lord of the dead came to a sudden end when, all at once, a bunch of women came around to cancel him over alleged groping he did 500 years ago."
hades for me is my favorite rogue like game by far, it has a good price a good gameplay, the story is nice, good art
It is not rogue like.
@@Dustmadeoutit's a roguelike by definition wdym
@@Shellackle It is rogue-lite because you have permanent upgrades in the game.
@@Shellackle Check your definition then.
@@Shellackleit technically isn't a rogue-like but a rogue-lite. Rogue-likes are games where you can't upgrade your character between runs while in Rogue-lites you can. So giving Mel the ability to upgrade her health, slow time while casting her Omega moves and death defiance, among other things, makes Hades 2 not a rogue-like.
i already have like 50 hours in this game. it fucking slaps. chronos is a god tier boss, literally
Pretty good Az, but you didn't use the cast nearly enough.
As a side note, the Oceanus biome is perhaps the best example of adaptive music I've ever heard in a game.
"idk why they made the main character a girl" well you see. the whole point of the game is zagreus is trapped and thats his sister trying to save him. coulda just googled it
I think he was asking why the game developers chose to write that he had a sister and make her the MC for the game. They could’ve written the story in a lot of different ways to situate her as the MC but why not Zagreus again is Asmon’s question. And I sympathize with Asmon’s opinion. Zagreus was cool 😂 and fans of the game would probably already look forward to playing the sequel just because they were familiar with playing as Zag from the first game.
why would you google things just so to spoil things for yourself?
@@georgejerry1545 Here's a logic test for you: Why would Chronos not trap Zagreus? We literally beat Hades himself consecutively to beat the game. He would trap a God that owns the underworld but not his son who's stronger?
@@vid9170 why is skelly or charon not trapped
@@zirkereuler5242 Cuz they don't rule the underworld?
The game feels good if you can get the latency down to 1ms. Basically for AMD I thought enhanced with freesnc was enough but when you turn on the latency setting with both the game felt amazing.
I'm so torn between waiting for the more full release or just playing.
It's not far off, there's a ton of content already
Be patient and just wait a few weeks or so. As the other person said, it's not far off.
Hm, really? I would've thought it'd be many months out. I'll have to check where to watch for updates
@@PherPhur the full game only releases next year tho
1.0 is at the end of this year
Me studying to be a voice actor: Wow whoever voiced Scylla did a great job. She sounds amazing!
Asmond: SHUT THE F*** UP
that counts as a job well done? the english va industry is a joke lmao
@uhuuehu7863 so is the video game industry. Its currently fucked atm yet no one wants to believe or accept it. But thats fine. A good game like Hades 2 doesn't count as a job well done either I guess
Hades 2 did Hestia so dirty 😂 WTF IS THAT ...
It’s a good design also her being a old granny works in what god she’s actually meant to be
@@domL2507why would a god have an autoimmune disorder?
Seriously bro xD
The VIRGIN goddess? Her appearance is supposed to be a young women. @domL2507
@@domL2507 it is based on greek mythology where there is a simple and accurate description of her. granny isnt one of them. last time i checked this game is heavily relying on its myth and defintely not just based on them it is them.
The backseating is strong with this one.
So I tried hades 2 and it changed my life
The better you get at Hades 2, the more you learn you can play it REALLY fast just like Hades 1, but now you have a bunch of charge moves and not just one.
The main thing I'd say could use a bit of adjustment is base damage. Unless you're stacking endless damage bonuses, you won't feel like you'r doing a lot of damage. But when you do build tons of damage, it feels even higher than Hades 1.
People doesn’t seem to understand the difference between a mage and a warrior. They expected mel a witch to fight like a warrior like zagreus did.
They hate you, learn to hate them back.
Forreal💯
Take your meds
@@ZeallustImmortal they still hate you.
Who?

it's asmond whaddaya expect haha. cast is essential so he will eventually have to learn to use it
@@GeorgeDroyd1998 Mainly when they're being paid millions of dollars to be a "professional gamer." It's why he still hasn't played BG3 - it's just too complex for him.
This is why Asmon loves Vampire Survivors style games so much, at some point you don't even need to play to win. To be fair his mind is mostly occupied with generating content, with only 30-40% of the focus being on the game. But then maybe it's just an excuse, we don't get vogs of him playing games off stream.
This game looks like a netflix adaptation of Greek mythology fused with clownifornia
Yeah, the Gameplay looks fine but the vibes are way off.
Classic case of needing to be inserted into everyone's else history and mythology due to lacking your own. Game could have been good, stick to the sources
Hades will always be better
@@nickf2657 there are black and gay characters in hades 1 too lol. you are npcs

I do feel like Hades 2 is a bit harder than 1. I enjoyed what there is so far though.
It’s a lot more methodical that’s for sure. Chronos also definitely hits like a truck compared to Hades.
It's harder, but there's more grinding for progression and just more progression in general.
I cant beat chronos, best ive done is 40% phase 2 :(
Its because there is way more progression. Also prob forget how much hades fucked everyone in the beginning.
Cronos is very punishing, and I'm pretty sure the devs deliberately ramped up his numbers because he's basically the end of the current content. If you keep throwing yourself at him you'll eventually get his patterns down.
If you're having trouble making sense of his attacks in phase 2, I recommend looking up a video of someone else doing it so you can get a better idea of where it wants you to stand.
Asmon playing Hades 2?! This will surely be awesome.
looks like an extremely unsatisfying game-play loop
Asmon second try and he figures out the speedrun build xD
Asmoizing!
asmo fucking what?
@@RigRacers amazing and asmongold mix together i think
i love all the new wepons in this game but if they brought back the gun id be so happy
Many people don't appreciate Greek mythology, even though our culture is based on it ...
- the girl "Europe" was named after the European continent [Zeus kidnapped her and named the continent after her]
- Arachne was a fantastic "weaver" - a great goddess was so jealous of her that she turned her into a spider [hence the words "arachnophobia"/"arachnids" etc.]
- Kronos/Chronos is the god of time, from which words such as "chronological", "chronometer" [clock], etc. emerged
- The word "aphrodisiac" is of course named after the goddess of love "Aphrodite"
- and so forth ...
- if you hate Greek mythology, you hate our culture, nothing more and nothing less ...
The Romans "stole" Greek mythology, they called Aphrodite "Venus", they called Heracles "Hercules"
They called the god of war Ares "Mars" [after our month "March" is named]
The season goddess “Demeter” gave rise to names like “Dimitry”
The Greeks' "holy olive oil" gave rise to names like "Oliver/Olivia"
The Greek god "Oceanus" gave his name to the eng. word "Ocean" / german "Ozean"
- In Greek mythology, narcissism was a self-lover who looked into his reflection until he drowned...
- nymph "ECHO" - "an echo (also called reverberation) occurs when reflections of a sound wave are delayed so much that they can be perceived as a separate auditory event; This is how the echo differs from the reverberation" [Wikipedia]
- The Earth Titan "Gaia" gave her name to words like "geopolicits" and all other words that start with the prefix "Geo-"
- words like "museum"/"music" come from the daughters of Zeus, the MUSES [Goddesses of the Arts] ...
- the word "telephone" is made up of the 2 Greek words - Greek "Tele" [far] + Greek "phone" [voice/sound] ...
I don't like Asmongold because he knows full well that his followers are from the right-wing spectrum ["Why are we playing a woman here, I liked Zagreus so much!" / "Remember, a woman is a woman, if she's fat..."]
But I still like him somewhere... Shame on me! [because SOMETIMES he is right] ... x)
37 hours is rookie numbers for Hades 1
The boss fights in this game look sooo creative and fun! The Siren metal band looked so fun and the song was actually kind of dope.
The comment about “are there men in this game” is funny but kind of lame this looks so dope and the characters are really interesting especially the character designs.
We wuz greek gods and sheit
Cope
Soot actually weird caring about dark skin
gotta tick those dei boxes, source material be damned
Woke washed, shameful to appropriate Greek culture.
@@jira6423Is it weird to take culture while complaining about the same thing incessantly, to the point of making it your identity?
honestly props fo him for playing how he did, i thought i did worse
40:40 - Just stop and listen closely at the OST playing, try to mute out asmon for just like 60 seconds. For the love of god, it makes me so sad when such a perfect OST goes unnoticed, but ig we aren't supposed to let it be a distraction while playing so, even more perfect. Just like Hades OST
P.S. Sounds like Billie Eilish in No Time to Die
First Hades had better art and more pleasing for eyes
Should i buy and play hades 1 before hades 2?
Yes
if you care about the story yes if not it doesn't matter
hades 1 is on sale tho you could just get both
Hades 1 is also fantastic game on its own.
Hades 1 is a masterpiece
i played this game for 8 hours and never have i ever seen that op poseidon ability, nor the double freaking health buff, nor the duo incarnation like wtf is this luck 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I swear if in this whole video he doesn't realize that he's got other attacks than just that main one I'm gonna lose my mind. Somebody PLEASE tell me if he ever starts using the damn cast?? Also WHY DOES NOBODY WHO STREAMS OR PLAYS THIS GAME ONLINE EVER INTERACT WITH THE GLOWING YELLOW ORB THINGS THAT TELL MORE BACKSTORY!!>?!?!?
WTF I've got like 6 hours in the game and I've never seen Eris and he met her on the first damn time he got there!?
Retromation does, but then again he did miss a permanent progression item somehow.
the reason you get eris is so you dont progress too fast
if you dont see eris it means you died a lot
@pffboahkeineahnung what?! Greek mythology is the very reason i even got the first game.
Just make sure you play it without ever interacting with any characters you dont have to now.
@pffboahkeineahnung the characters interacting with each other and referring to what's happening in game is like 50% of the game
@pffboahkeineahnung that is an absolutely insane mindset to play games in.
I swear they annunciate every god's name wrong. Chiron annunciation especially hurted
Why is the highlighted comment section of every video i open now filled with trash like "4 views fell off" and "x number of likes and I y".
Feels like im scrolling down a teenagers facebook timeline from 2010 🙄
It's the "new", now old and overdone, NPC "joke" uninteresting people copy-paste to gain likes.
I figured they're bots 😂
only 30 hours on original hades? who spends only 2 digit hours on roguelikes?
First game was great. Gonna wait for full release for Hades II but sure does look amazing already.
It actually already has more content than Hades 1 in forms of dialouge and areas/enemies, which is mindblowing for an early access game.
Can't wait to meet the new Asmon once his life gets changed by this game again...
So... why are all the Greek gods not caucasian?
Cause there's where Africans in Greece and they were represented in the pantheon. Got to take that up with the ancient greeks. Then again it's not a documentary and as most mythology was orally shared, their depiction varied from one part of their occupied land to the other. For example if the story of Zeus is shared in one of the territory in north Africa he won't look the same as it would in Italy.
😂 particularly when they have British accents so it’s both ancient euro mythology & euro voice acting. But it’s a cartoon so who really cares
@@palamedes4740 that's all made up and the population of northern africa was not dark skinned at that time.
Who the f cares? It's a game, it takes liberties as they please and just want to make badass characters.
They're not historical figures, they're myths.
People really do be asking the dumbest and most unnecessary questions.
Why aren't you complaining that they're speaking English? With British accents no less? Wouldn't you want them to speak greek?🙄
Cool art design

Cope and seethe lmao
There’s Zagreus is literally bisexual in the first game
@@sticksandstones1173??? So you didn’t play hades 1?
"i hope asmongold plays your favorite game"
Zagreus always had snappy responses. Melinoë is just talking about girl and witch stuff all the time. Zagreus always had the funniest, snarky one liners. Mel isn't a bad character, but I think that Zagreus is way funnier and more interesting. She's just a girl struggling. The ghost girl (Mel's friend in camp) is kinda funny though. Because it's a mix of Zagreus and Meg from the last game. Als you know I want that Ghussy.
I think it makes sense though considering their uprisings, but at least we have the ghost girl
well she is bland, I would say uninteresting and too perfect. Also, the story is not even close to the first one. Child wanting to see his mom one more time even for just few seconds, to the point he went through hell again and again and again. In this, strong sister will fight and beat final boss to save her father and brother who somehow got caught. Doesn't draw any emotion from me. I felt the weight of Zagreus failing, how he comes out of blood river all tired, goes through his working father who throws him few remarks and gets back to work while Orpheus sings all depressed in the background. Not to mention the brutal death animation, that is not present in this one for some reason. The hub itself felt vibrant and full of story.
Brain dead take
the game acknowledges this, chaos literally says zag was more interesting lol
@@joemama-mu1dd daaamn they're firing shots on themselves?
I haven't played for that many hours. But I'm guessing I've met most of the major cast. I decided to go back to the first Hades game a bit and see what I missed (not 100% completed)
GAME OF THE YEAR no question!
The music is fucking amazing
cant wait to finish hades 1 to play this!!!
I don't think this one is gonna change his life....
44:35 perfect drop
Finally, the grifter crowd stopped pretending they hate "woke" because they affect gameplay lmao. This game and BG3 is great. Whining about unrelated things has nothing to do with gameplay doesn't do shit. They are getting even more annoying than the old kind of SJW.
Who say that?
In BG3, woke shit was a choice. You could play a based character or you could play a woke character. Thats why people didnt mind at all. In Hades 2 the main character is super uninteresting because they wrote her that way. Why cant people realise that your protagonists need flaws and relatable aspirations beyond " i need to save the world". I personally wont buy this, eventhough i have 200 hours in hades. With gamergate 2 looming and people boycotting woke bullshit more than ever, it will severely affect the sales of the sequel sadly. If they didnt blackwash half the cast for no reason , and didnt turn the other halfs into fat cripples just for the sake of "rEPreSeNTatIoN", then there would be far less of an issue. Alas they didnt, and im sick and tired of this bullcrap.
@@snakeace0 "Why cant people realise that your protagonists need flaws"
So, you just completely missed the part where Melinoë doubts herself and her abilities constantly? Her codex entrance is written by her and she's literally shittalking herself in it.
She's pretty much always humble due to this, appreciating the effort everyone else puts in but her own.
And she has very few aspirations because she was raised pretty sheltered with one goal, to defeat Chronos. And if you play enough you discover that she does wonder what else she wants, because she doesn't know as she's been focused completely on eventually beating Chronos and hasn't given much thought of what comes after. (another character flaw right there).
Seriously, you havn't given the game a single chance to show what it is.
"and didnt turn the other halfs into fat cripples"
The overexaggeration with "half" when only 1 character is a cripple is amazingly stupid.
Hephaestus is literally described as disabled usually in mythology with him having trouble walking etc. So him having a prosthetic is right on course. Maybe read up on your mythology? Besides.. This is a game... It's meant to be able to take artistic liberties.. And it's mythology, usually vaguely recorded stuff, often containing contradictions about gods that never existed anyway, just like you commented on blackwash... They're gods who never showed themselves, who tf cares? They look dope and Supergiant is fully free to have their own greek god designs, otherwhise we'd just see the same depictions of the gods over and over and over again, that'd be a borefest.
And wdym "for no reason", they did it because they wanted to and wanted some cool designs that fit what the gods are about, what other reason is there when designing characters?
(And if you meant to drag Polyphemus into the 'fat cripples' thing aswell because he's blind then I'd like to point out that Odysseus literally blinded Polyphemus in mythology by plunging a burning stake through his eye, so that's also fully on par with mythology)
Also, you had no issues with Ares, Athena, Dionysus and Patroculus being black in Hades 1? Or Hermes looking more asian than the rest?
Weird how that works for you, huh?
Oh, did you also complain when Kratos killed the entire pantheon? No? Why not? That was never written in mythology yet Kratos did just that!
A spartan dude never killed Baldur either so, why aren't you crying about that? Neither was Loki the son of a spartan dude... Seriously, EVERY single game about mythology take highly creative liberties when it comes to both designs and stories about their mythological counterparts. People are so sensetive over literally nothing.
Just say you're a racist, sexist pos and move on man.
1:50:00 Uses one of the best weapons in the game for less than 5 seconds and says it sucks. I hope he doesnt think the fire ball throwers are good because then he's truly gone insane.
This is such a fantastic game. Love the art style and story so much. Playing it on handheld and it's so comfy.
Eris curse is so annoying, Asmon probably would've already finished the game if not for it
finish? chronos gonna 2 shots him lol
hades 1 keeps unlocking new dialogs for me after 160 excape attemps and over 100hours... so 37h is... ok xD
Bros face covering the goods literally unwatchable
Some weapons better on M&K, and some bettter on Controller.
oh look, balance that has some awareness of their player base. Holy shit. Love Hades I and II already
Ehhhh not for me I liked the first one better…
After playing Hades for 100+ hours, tried this one and refunded ... The main character was just bland. Too perfect, too pure, to honest. Not even close to Zagreus, who was this rebellious child wanting to see his mother once more. In this you're just superman physically and mentally.
The combat is an outright downgrade, Hades was faster gameplay, while that ended up being an addictive run when you unlock harder map. Now the other thing I really hated here was how there is a lot of progression currency to get. Sounds good, but all it does it take space for room rewards. Instead of feeling the build by getting power ups every few rooms, now you get 1 power up in like 4 rooms. Some enemies just demand you to use the spell that stuns, literally limiting your way to play. The constant yelling of the main character after every attack becomes a noise. Now of course it is divisive politically, but I didn't mind that in Hades 1 when the gameplay was so fun. Here I felt like the starter weapon was just not fun. The character I controlled was not interesting, the music wasn't new/just a lamer remixes of original ones, the story is nowhere near as compelling as in Hades 1. Compare the story of kid going through hell just to see his mom for few seconds, doing so again and again and again. Compare that to this, a strong sister going to kill a god to save Hades and Zegreus who somehow got caught. Where is the cool story in that, a hero with no struggle saves the day and proves to everyone how strong she is. Boring. Then the main hub, it felt so vibrant in Hades 1, every time I died and swam from that blood river all tired, went next to my father Hades who was so focused on his work and just told me few remarks, while Orpheus sang in the background all depressed. Even the death animation was really brutal and cool. Here you don't even get that brutal death animation, and you don't come out from blood river, you just reanimate.
I haven't found a single aspect that was anywhere near as good as it was in Hades 1. I don't think this is a bad game, not at all. But, it doesn't do itself any favors by naming itself Hades 2. In the end, it's a decent rogue lite. While Hades 1 is a masterpiece. Not going to lie, after I refund it, I reinstalled Hades 1 to replay it from the start. Hades 1 is so good, if you want to play something similar, just to play the same game twice. It is still as good, and replay ability is insane.
After reading the good reviews, I felt disappointed. I know Hades 1 is a high standard to follow, but this wasn't even good, it was just okay at best.
gets way better over time and it's still in early access

@@MrTeamGuy”to perfect to pure” so did you just ignore 90 percent of dialogue?
@@jackbower9087real news
man the art, sound and atmosphere is ethereal
You must test V Rising! 🦇
Amazing game. It’s been great since early access but now the 1.0 launch is phenomenal
he played it
It's boring and too monotonous
I like it but damn it feels like once you play through it once, theres really nothing to do. PvP is slow and even living center map with every plot around us taken, we never see anyone. The whole 80% of servers only allowing raids on weekends or certain hours is dumb af. & the entire set of bosses are just dumb. its essentially just a PvE game, and the PvE is so mid theres not really any reason to keep grinding. You realize that really quickly on, and Asmon wouldnt like it after the 2nd or 3rd dumb boss.
I lost count how many times i killed a boss with 1-2 hp for most of the fight lol.
I looked into the assets used in HADES (1) not that long ago and was blown away by how all character animations are actually BINK files. That's a format typically used for splash screens and cutscenes/cinematics, ability demonstrations, etc.
I've never seen any other game use BINK files in this way.
I wont be playing II - as I'm still salty about the grindfest involved in obtaining all of those contractor upgrades 😋
I love how coins are just lil asmons.
unpopular opinion:
the people that wine and complain about 'woke' games are as bad as the people that do the 'waking'.
Two sides of the same coin
If there would be no "whining" and push back, games would quickly turn into unplayable shit show.
@@lionart5230 nah this game and BG3 is great. Whining about unrelated things has nothing to do with gameplay doesn't do shit.
@@lionart5230 Buddy baldur gate 3 couldn't be woker yet it one of the best. If anything, if they listened to yall ""whining" and push back, games would turn into unplayable shit show"
@@TemmieMinh I do believe that this game is not trying to push any agenda and people are (rightfully) oversensitive due to previous experiences when gaming was used as platform to push certain views.
So far Supergiant games and studio didn't disappoint and I will probably play this one too though I don't feel pressure to buy it right now for full price with several games in library to play and not enough time.
I did read article, some debates and checked what ruckus is about. I don't see "wokeness" in Hades 2, at least to excessive level or enough to disrupt gameplay/story elements. I don't want to jump on people who do though as it's just my opinion.
