  • Finished this game recently. Took me about 30 hours, which includes getting every collectible and upgrades in the game.

    The only game I’ve played that is similar to this is Hollow Knight, which although could be extremely hard when it wants to, most of the main game is not as brutal as Nine Sols.
    TBH, it’s really frustrating when you keep dying over and over on the same enemy. But when you finally nail down the movements and parry timings, it’s pretty satisfying to see yourself come out of a fight you were struggling before with minimal damage.
    For that reason, I hope that they implement a boss rush mode that lets you go back and fight previous bosses without having to go through the entire game again.

    Other than that, the music and atmosphere is pretty decent. I enjoyed the story a lot and the way they use manga panels to tell it throughout. Very glad I played this game.


  • Hades 2 Early access! Got it as soon as it shadow dropped on Steam.

    Even though it’s in early access and the ending won’t be revealed until launch, there’s already so much content I’m having a blast playing it already.

    Just word of caution, the game obviously is still incomplete. There are unfinished artwork all around, navigating menus with a controller can be clunky occasionally, and imo the game balance really needs to be tuned. Hence early access for Supergiant to receive player feedback. With so much more game mechanic to choose from compared to the first game, I feel like the boon upgrades are spread a little too thin to boost enough base weapon damage to carry into later regions. Or maybe I’m just bad at the game idk haha.

    If you want the complete experience from start to finish, I would recommend you wait, and it’s okay to do so.
    But, if you can live with the downsides of early access, and don’t mind spoiling yourself before launch, Hades 2 is a good time now. I’d encourage anyone who are playing it now to actively give feedback to make this the best game on launch!





  • If you think you’re getting lost or don’t know what to do, it’s okay to follow another lead. Sometimes the solution will come back to you. The signal scope is your friend when finding a new lead, and the ship log is your best friend for tracking it and figuring out what to do next.

    I hope you enjoy it, it’s a game you can only experience once.
