Game Informer's Hades 2 review: 16 months of early access, Supergiant Games has sculpted Hades II into a truly unforgettable experience and a must-play roguelike. After roughly 50 hours and 53 runs between its first iteration and final release, I'm somehow still itching to go back for more. Melinoë's journey showcases Supergiant's expert world-building, combat design, and sharp dialogue to a degree that somehow surpasses one of my all-time favorite games. Godlike, indeed.
