I was gifted a copy of Hades II as a part of the 2024 Gamer’s Tavern Secret Santa. After having played The original and thoroughly enjoying it, I was pretty ready to hop back into the underworld and go for round 2.
The game follows a similar concept as the original, but from the perspective of Melinoë, the Princess of the Underworld. There are a few new game mechanics this go around, and I love the inclusion of being able to talk to your pet toad, but ultimately it’s just TOO much like the first game for right now. Having just played through that, I wasn’t getting anything new out of this one to keep me fully entertained. It’ll be one I pick back up down the line once I get a few other games under my belt, especially since they are still adding new content.
