Hades 2 is still in the early phases of Early Access, but Supergiant Games has shown that its first-ever sequel is among the greats. Nearly every part of Hades 2 is an improvement on its predecessor, with a new cast of diverse characters, great voice acting, a compelling story, interactive game mechanics, a ton of new areas, and beautiful art. Rather than a rehash of old themes or a dissection of them, Supergiant Games has taken what was great about Hades and multiplied it. Random encounters with friendly NPCs in the different parts of the Underworld resulted in some of the most popular subplots in Hades, such as reuniting Achilles and Patroclus.
