Hades 2 just released a technical test, which you can sign up for through Steam. This is NOT the final game, but will give you a glimpse as to what the full game has to offer. I am SO excited for this! I am a HUGE fan of the first game, having earned every achievement/trophy on both Steam and PS5. I have been waiting for the day to get my hands on this for so long, and could not be happier with it so far!

In this game, you play as Melinoe instead of Zagreus. There also seems to be a bunch of new faces in the main hub, such as Odysseus and Nemesis. Skelley is back in the form of Schelemeus, and Hypnos has also returned, but is apparently asleep (go figure lol). Charon is also back, selling you items during a run if you go through his door. I am VERY excited to see the interactions with the new NPCs and to learn more about their lore. The lore in Hades was one of the biggest reasons I loved the game!

Combat is very similar to the first Hades, so if you played the first game, you should know what to expect. One big difference is now you have a magic meter, which you can expend by charging up your attacks. It looks like you unlock new abilities and such through Arcana, which you purchase with currency called Ash. So far, I saw one that slows down time as you charge your attacks, one that heals you a small amount when you leave a room (and doubles if you have less than 30% health), and one that adds more power to your casts.

There are spots to interact with again in rooms to learn more about the lore. Fishing spots have also returned,. There also seems to be something that looks like a mining spot, but just like fishing, you need to have a tool to interact with it. There are some items you can pick up in rooms as well that look like golden flowers. No idea what these are for yet, but I am guessing they can be used to unlock stuff. Keep an eye out for anything shimmery!

Again, this is a technical test, and is NOT the full version of the game. Currently, you can only play through until you beat Hecate, but even just this much gameplay has me eagerly awaiting Early Access, and then full release!
