Early Access means absolutely nothing these day. It could simply be the developers wanted to polish out some bugs, balancing and/or gauge interest on how far they can further expand their game. There are also Early Access titles from triple AAA game studios, so the entire "Early Access" thing is just a superficial label.
@DarkZerol in this example it means what it has always meant, the game is not done. It doesn't even have an ending. Yet despite this they knew that a stable launch was important for the game
@@zaknafein254There are some “Early Access” game that’s been in Early Access for over 10 years like 7 Days to Die and Project Zomboid. “Early Access” doesn’t really mean anything anymore.

@@Jay-fm7md If you are asking about the first Hades, it's pretty much a perfect game. It does absolutely *everything* well: story, characters, art, music, gameplay. It is the rare game that absolutely deserves a perfect 10/10 score because there's simply very little to criticize.

developed Ganglion Cyst on my left hand due to Hades 1 and got it removed surgically. Hades 2 looks like the next cause of it coming back but definitely worth it
Man, Darren Korb is a legend. What is this soundtrack? You can hear the main themes from Hades, but it is so refreshing to hear as well. Very different. Amazing game!

"Impressions" of an Early Acces game would make more sense than a Review. Are you going to re-review the game with every subsequent patch until release, which might wildly change the game? No, you're not.
@@chakradarrat8832 Cool. Review it then, in that case. Not Day 1 of early access when it has bugs, no ending, limited features, and areas of the game left out. Not day 1 of Early Access.
yea but there's a sort of meta-progression where you can use resources from your past runs for permanent upgrades. so as you get more powerful along with more knowledge/experience, each run gets easier. technically you can beat the first game in 25 minutes but nobody expects you to
For what? If people want to see the final score they just go to the end of the video and for the rest they just watch the whole thing, so your comment is pointless.
The dash changes are pissing me off. Fewer i-frames, longer startup, lack of reliable melee cancel. It’s singlehandedly killing my enjoyment of this game.
Just want to point out this "Early Access" game is more stable than most AAA releases at launch

Lost two controllers to stick drift because of Hades 1... Totally worth it
Dramatic
@@Argonian0727 And yet no less true
That and Enter the Gungeon, I’m on my fourth pair.
and yet still have not pass Megara
What causes controller drift?
The NPCs like Nemesis and Eris use the same weapons we unlocked with Zagreus in the first game... that's a very cool detail!!
the specific ones that were their aspects
That also happened in the first game, like the spear was hades's spear, and we saw athena holding aegis for instance
Put around 80 hours into Hades 1 and loved it so much. Just bought Hades 2 and currently installing. Sooooo excited :)
how was it?

Im 250 hours and the great thing is you unlock all story dialogue about 200hours in. Replayability for the first game is insane for that priceeee
you gotta pump those numbers up son, those are rookie numbers
Only 80 hours?
Glad to see tiny vermin is still crawling around. Maybe he can help us rescue Zag.

9 for an early access? that sounds great!
And remember its ign, First Hades, the reviewers Said It was a perfect game, and almost no problems, and the Review score was 9
@@daokufulyep. You said it yourself. ALMOST. lol
IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7 when on Metacritic the audience has given it a 9/10. So IGN giving Hades 2 a 9/10 means the game is actually an 11/10.
@@ThwipThwipBoomnot really regular people judge games based off of feelings not a non biased approach. The proof is when people threatened or pick a fight with others just because their imaginary number isn't the same as theirs
for sure 10 when it releases fully
That detail of scylla and the song, reminded me of pyre ending theme, changing depending on who you decide to save, and who remains, very cool detail
Pyre is such an underrated game
Hades is my favorite game on the switch, will definitely be picking this up if there's a switch version.
Same, 2025 i'm guessing
"So how much hotter should we make the characters in Hades 2?"
"Yes."
Aphrodite about to make people clutch their pearls
Hestia is 🔥 🥵
This game has me wanting to smash hecate
Are you kidding? Hecate looks like a dude.
the best part of Hades 2 is that is not an Epic Game Store exclusive anymore
Which means it will be cracked and be freely downloaded
@@MSDGAMEZwait so epic game store exclusives cant get cracked?
Yeah what does that mean? Now I'm interested if your just trolling or what lol@@MSDGAMEZ

had a great time with technical test on steam deck a few weeks back, so it's awesome to see it out in ea.

developed Ganglion Cyst on my left hand due to Hades 1 and got it removed surgically. Hades 2 looks like the next cause of it coming back but definitely worth it
remap your buttons, my guy
Use dark souls type of controls trust me
So excited. Can't wait for the genius soundtrack again, Darren Korb never fails. One of the most anticipated games of the year!!!
Cannot wait, Hades is still one of my favorite games of all time.
banger after banger after banger from this studio. pumped to play this but I'm gonna wait for 1.0
Spoiler blocker ...
Um, it's a review. What do you want them to do?
Not spoil?
It’s early access lol,game ain’t even finished
What moron clicks on this video thinking there won't be spoilers for the gameplay???
@@balance_breaker7185 everything is finished its just a beta for polishing and balancing slowpoke
sry how is this not a 10? like there was literally nothing negative and its still in early access
Hopefully the full version will be a 10
Lack of an ending at the moment is my guess
Glad to see I'm not the only one that made the mistake of taking the slowing Chaos boon before the boss fight with Scylla at 9:50 🤣
This sequel is gonna be amazing
Man, Darren Korb is a legend. What is this soundtrack? You can hear the main themes from Hades, but it is so refreshing to hear as well. Very different. Amazing game!
“ feels impossibly huge “
That’s what she said ! In Michael Scott voice
Excited to play on Switch again when this game state is finish.
Steamdeck is the play. Gave my Lil sis my switch (took it back for zelda temporarily). Hopefully Nintendo makes a more powerful switch someday
Same here
Let's go!
@@pcp2522 Hades 1 ran perfectly on the Switch. I'm only pointing this out because you mentioned "more powerful console"

Nice! Does playing the early access version maintain save/progress in the official release?
They say that they’re going to do everything they can to make sure that it does
Hah, it’s cool to see zeros wielding Exagryph, with her own aspect from the first game!
Voice actor sounds a lot like Shadowheart from BG3
Playing on Steam Deck :P
Just beat the game on Easter,messed around with the endgame,and the same day this drops lol :D
The best review for Hades 2 is Hades 1
Is every character in Hades 2 still a thirst trap?
Yes
This question feels like it should be rhetorical
Even more so
Nah. Hestia is just a sweet granny. Dora’s a tiny ghost
@@redblueandgray By literal definitions Hestia is the hottest character
GODDAMMIT RELEASE A MAC BUILD OF EARLY ACCESS MY WALLET IS READY
Hot Spring character art had me like 👀
so looking forward to this!
all im hearing is "shut up and take my money" which ill be buying asap early access or not
Does anyone else have the problem of the health bar not showing?
Anyone else still trying to beat Hades on 32 heat ;_;
10:06 - Cerberus is a boss??

Gameplay was not garbage though
@@maxkysl9641 Sure it was a step up from Part 1's gameplay I'll give it that. Still overall Part 2's gameplay wasn't anything mind blowing.

Imagine still being like this four years later
@@czarspan3057 gamer brain rot leaves them in a perpetual state of victimhood.
How many levels are there right now? And how many bosses?
At least 6 bosses. They stated that it's already a bigger game in almost every respect than Hades 1 final release.
Hot springs dates? Game: bought.
Give us early access on ps5 please
Looks so much slower without the dash, and that’s not a criticism
I'm very hyped but will be patient untill it's final release
Nothing beats returnal for me, best RL for me. By far, just needed more bosses
9 wtf IGN the game is a absolute 10 even in early acess you guys are insane.
There's no way the game is a 10 with no story ending and who knows how much content missing lol.
THIS IS WRITTEN ENTIRELY IN LUA?!?!?!?
Do you mean Luda as in Ludacris? He's a rapper.
11/10 - IGN
You already killed the final boss in Hades 2? I'm curious, how long did it take you to finish the game?
killing the final boss isn't the same thing as finishing the game
When u die do u restart?
yea but there's a sort of meta-progression where you can use resources from your past runs for permanent upgrades. so as you get more powerful along with more knowledge/experience, each run gets easier. technically you can beat the first game in 25 minutes but nobody expects you to
If it's a 9 while unfinished then surely it's a 10 when it's a finished game?
one can home!
also love the crunchy cat luna avatar lol.
Is there a final boss or he is still to show up with the ending?
Watch the video
Yes, but like the video states, story ending isn't there yet.
Lets hope that they dont painfully spoon feed a 50hr story, streatching it out over 500hrs past the end actual gameplay like last time....
They gave it a 9. You're welcome
For what? If people want to see the final score they just go to the end of the video and for the rest they just watch the whole thing, so your comment is pointless.
What's up with ign putting out reviews with so many spoilers? And now, it takes 10 - 15 mins for a verdict when it used to take 3 - 6 mins.
How great could be playing this in coop multiplayer in the same screen
Not that great
Check out the trailer for '33 Immortals' it looks like it's going to be rogue like but with multiplayer
Do yall think they will make a music kit for cs2 just like what they did with the first game and csgo?
how long is the early acces?
They're planning it to last at least the rest of the year.
How reviewing an early access game makes any sense?
If it has a price tag on it,they review it so you make sure your money isn't wasted
Where is Indika review soooo disappointed
My life will be completely if it comes to switch.😂

is this game co-op?
No, unfortunately. No network play at all.
