After making waves on the PC and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, Hades 2 is celebrating its release on two new platforms – Xbox Series X/S and PS5. It’s also playable on Game Pass Ultimate and Premium alongside PC Game Pass, making it worth the price of subscribing alone.
Melinoë’s effort to free her family from the clutches of Cronos is a charming romp through the depths of hell, and one that we thoroughly enjoyed last year. It blends charm and humor into a story that could have been rather morbid considering the dire circumstances. We were particularly fond of all the cool weapons you can find, each one adding a new layer to the game’s combat.
Add in some great mechanics, a solid narrative, quirky characters, a bevvy of awesome enemies, and imposing bosses to take on with the skills you pick up along the way, and you have the recipe for a hit. Those accolades aren’t too surprising, really.
The new trailer, showcased below, is evidence of that, and it’s a great peek at the general critical response Hades 2 has received since it exited early access. This one’s quite easy to recommend, and could keep you occupied for hours on end.
