The sequel to Supergiant Games' massive hitHades, titledHades 2, takes players to new realms with new weapons, characters, storylines, and even a new main character: Melinoë. Just like the first game, the basic premise ofHades 2is to repeatedly run through the game’s randomly generated rooms toget stronger over timeand, eventually, beat its final boss.
Hadescouldtake over a hundred hours to 100%, but only about a quarter of that for most to complete the “main” story. Though it’s only in Early Access right now, the length ofHades 2appears to be similar – but there’s a lot more to do this time around, and a lot more content yet to come.
