Amazing and worthy successor to one of the best games ever made. Everything that Hades did well, Hades 2 does better and perfects it.

While I enjoyed playing the game, I view it as more of a proof of concept or a demo of what the studio wants to do than a good, standalone game in and of itself. The plot is extremely simple and predictable, the characters are very one-dimensional, the gameplay is painfully mediocre, and the entire experience is far too short. While I had fun playing the game, and while the voice acting drew me in immensely, the game itself isn't technically "good."

I think my biggest gripe is the fact that at multiple points it tries to cash in on emotional moments it didn't earn. You don't spend enough time with any of the characters to feel any form of real connection with them, but you're still supposed to feel like it has a "found family" vibe.

Like others, I had a game-breaking bug that locked me out of progressing.

Absolutely a worthy spiritual successor to Life is Strange by DONTNOD. Emotional, beautiful, compelling, and nostalgic, with an ethereally beautiful soundtrack to match. The end of the game left me wanting more yet satisfied with the content the same way that the original Life is Strange did.

I absolutely love Stellaris, but unfortunately the studio has recently started using AI to create slop and I can no longer support or recommend this game.

Despite right wing snowflakes, the game is really good. I've enjoyed it a lot so far

Quite possibly one of the best games ever made

Early Access Review
The whiny review bombers and ridiculously entitled people complaining that the free to play version doesn't have everything the paid version has is hilarious. I've been playing the game since the 3rd playtest, and easily have 500+ hours on the Blacksmith Launcher. I played a bit on the Steam version as well, and the difference between the two is absolutely minimal and you can still easily get most of the game experience.

People who choose to whine about the game being free after months of begging for it to come back to Steam is doing nothing but harm the community of an EARLY ACCESS GAME. If you want access to the full set of features, use the Blacksmith Launcher!

This is one of my absolute favourite games of all times.

The best form of escapism since mid Sims 2 and Sims 3

I've watched 4 streamers play this game, literally all of them said the said the same things:

"This might be the best game ever made"
"This game is made for me"
"I don't even want to talk, I just want to play the game"
"This game is going to consume my life"

I'd have paid the full price for the demo alone. One of the best games ever made, without a doubt.
