Hades 2 Review: Is It the Best Rouge-Lite? 🔥

In 2020, my review for the original Hades was absolutely glowing with praise. The addictive gameplay loop, the fast fluid combat, the story telling style, the Art, music and atmosphere. These were the reasons that I instantly fell in love with the game, making it my favourite rogue-lite of all time.
Then, in 2025, after a couple of years in early access, Supergiant games officially released the follow up title, Hades 2, which is something that I’ve only just recently been able to play through. It is bigger, better and beautifull-er, and I feel that it was the perfect progression from Hades 1.
Hades 2 now takes the crown for my new favourite Rogue Lite, and if you’re into this genre, it’s definitely something that you need to play.
💬 Also, I'd love to know what thought about the game, or if you plan on playing it in the future, so let me know in the comments below.
