On the one hand I didn’t feel Hades really needed a sequel and they always do new games that are different from the ones they did before and can they really recapture the magic with this a second time?

OTOH hades ruled gently caress yeah more hades

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

my feelings are the same

bastion, transistor, and hades are very different but all some of my favorite games. i kinda wish they'd spend their time making more unique masterpieces instead of a sequel. but also i'm sure hades 2 will be fuckin great

I'll say this much for Melinoë; if she's going after Cronus, she's at least got the weapon that, if it won't kill him, will at least make his day very bad indeed.

Can't wait to meet all the gods we didn't get to see inthe first one. Though I'm wondering, if Hades is in chains, is Zagreus in charge of the Underworld in the meantime? I imagine we're gonna see him again, even if as a optional fight.

Zag's going to be so swamped with paperwork that he's basically chained to his father's desk for the entire game.

They basically said on their blog "we like to challenge ourselves with each game, and we thought that making a sequel which recaptures the magic of the first would be a novel challenge" and I am here for it

Please let it be on Steam from the getgo so I can get right into it instead of waiting for it like with Darkest Dungeon 2.

I've been wanting a Hacate appearance since they first started releasing new gods in the early access. Updated wishlist:
- Hercules
- sick Artemis hangouts
- boons from cthonic gods like Nyx
- no gun (why was there a gun)
- winter grandma has become harvest grandma
- more than one trinket at a time would be cool but they might not even being doing those this time, who knows

gently caress yeah, I was super pleasantly surprised, too.

A female PC is great, getting to meet more of the Greek gods is cool, and the combat looked just so slick. I'm very much looking forward to this. I hadn't even hoped for a sequel, but it's such a good thing that they decided to break their "no sequels" policy for Hades.

[shitpost]so, our new protag is clearly Zagreus and Thanatos' daughter. I approve[/shitpost]
(Yeah I saw all the posts explaining who she is shut up I want to believe)

Serious remark, she did use something similar to Than's death zone during the trailer. Hopefully Than and/or big(little?) bro are going to hand out boons.


Serious remark 2, where can I put in the money for this gem?

E: mom HAS to be handing out boons, some rear end in a top hat kidnapped Dad you gotta support the daughter's rampage

Their FAQ has 3 uses of the very copywritten term Titan of Time so I guess they've combined Chronos the timegod and Cronos the titan to avoid any confusion.

Zag is conspicuously absent from the trailer and all the blog stuff Supergiant put out aside from saying he's Melinoë's brother, I wonder what they'll do with him. I do hope he's woven into the narrative beyond a cameo role because the idea of Zagreus going from the player character to the player's dorky older brother is extremely funny.

He should still be stuck in Hades (the place). His appearances should remember he's got an expiration date measured in light-meters when out of the Underworld.

It seems like Hades might be imprisoned underground, so that's not an impediment to Zagreus helping out. We're probably starting on the surface and going down this time.

Grandma might, but for everything else I'd really rather they just use different gods this time.

I suppose if we're breaking into hell this time, you could definitely bring back the Furies as enemies or some of the house staff.

I wonder if we'll get Charon again or a different NPC for a similar role.

He should show up like Thanatos for a little friendly competition, then instantly die as soon as it finishes.

He'll be stuck in the underworld but my guess is that Hades as a place has fallen.

I'm afraid that we've ran out of Olympians to use if we want an original cast. The only original Olympian gods missing from the first game were Apollo (confirmed for Hades 2), Hera, Hestia and Hephaestus. Asides from introducing the three H's, they can either expand beyond the Pantheon or complete the Olympian representation with all 12 gods available.

Zagreus as a summon would be amazing, he turns up and sprints around the level killing poo poo for you.

It's inevitable that every Greek Mythology retelling must be "We must defeat a resurgent Kronos" since like Age Of Mythology

Yeah and apparently they did the Chronus/Kronos merge too, but that one is pretty old at this point and cool thematically so I'm okay with it.
