I bought the game and played for roughly 3 hours. If you've seen their stream from the technical test, I got roughly as far in the meta-game as they did, but run-wise I got somewhere ~the middle of the third act. Right now I can see at least ~3-5 hours of unlockables I need to get resources for (and more is revealed after more runs/unlocks), and I haven't tried most new boons yet.

It's really good. There are three things I've noticed are missing (animations for one interactable in the hub world, portraits for 2 characters further in). Aside from that it feels similar quality-wise to the first game, which I last played a week ago, so it's still fresh in my mind.

I'm sure new content will get slower soon and halt in a couple of hours, but wow is it polished already. There's also an indication of a lot of additional content coming in the future, but that will have to wait for further patches.

Same bere, about 4 hrs on the record, and such a well polished Early Access games is hard to find. Apart from a few nuances, it plays like a charm.

Hades 1 was absolutely phenomenal, Hades 2 is, as far as I can see, will be too. The constant voice acting just adds so much to the game.

Supergiant has the level of respect from me that early Blizzard had.

They have done nothing but release complete, solid games throughout their history. Everything in their library is at least an 8/10 and worth the money imo.

I have no reason to believe Hades 2 will be any different based on the tech test and the couple hours I played today.
