Then I shall wait until 2025 to play it.
Supergiant Games is probably my favorite studio out there but I just can’t do early access anymore. If I play it now, I know I won’t go back when it’s released to see the stuff that changed…
Feel free, I think it’ll be a great game when you check back in.
I’m a big Hades 1 fan, and played that game in it’s early state as well. Hades 2’s early access feels roughly 90% or more complete, it’s missing pictures for some items (placeholders for now), some character portraits of some of the lesser-interacted-with NPCs. I think there will be another weapon because there’s a slot for it, and there’s seemingly some more boss content. Gameplay, basically at 100%
So if you’re likely to finish and not check back in, definitely wait because the game should be in pristine condition by then, with it being this polished already. Love this studio, love this game
It will definitely be great - I just won’t check back in if I play it now.
Supergiant has never made a game I didn’t like!
I hear you, but I caved lol. You will NOT be disappointed. EA is such a weird choice for this one. It’s where I’d call it well past beta (a true beta, not the marketing betas that we usually see where there’s no time to fix anything). Like it truly is “early access” but we’re so used to that term meaning “somewhere in dev”.
If they’re targeting 2025 release this thing will be incredibly polished by then.
I know, I know. Supergiant can’t miss so I’m positive I would love it…it’s just that I don’t ever replay games like this and I’d rather wait a year for the polished version than get my fix now.
I’m a chronic “patient gamer” belive me I get it. The underworld awaits you my friend ;)
Supergiant is probably the only studio I’d still buy an early access from, even day one. Even when I end up not liking it that much (like Pyre), it is interesting enough to be worth the asking price.
To this day, Hades is still my most played game on the Switch (I even managed to get a physical copy), and I will probably do the same with Hades II… Maybe on the Switch 2, who knows 😆.
Oh I’m sure the game will be great! I just don’t want to “burn out” on it in early access and never go back like I have a tendency to do.
I’m going to use this as an excuse to go back and play Hades 1. I bought and binged it when it first released EA, and never went back to play the released version.
I think they might have interpreted “Hades 2” as 2 times Hades 1. Which I very much appreciate
I cannot believe how much stuff is already in the game. It’s baffling and incredibly ambitious. I love it.
Frankly given what they’ve promised and what’s already in there it could easily go to 3x. It’s fucking bananas. I was 30 runs in, and still finding new NPCs and events.
I’m 67 or something like that in, and just found a new NPC
Wake me when it’s good
