>Hades 1
Somewhat reddit tone and aesthetic but still engaging and cool, great ost
>Hades 2
Teenage girl power fantasy, ost has been completely sissified
Why did they do this?

Hades 2's just Hades 1 with more content and *far* more refined and balanced.
OST's great in both.

The marvel thing where every single line in the game has to be a funny quip.

That's just plain wrong, post a theme from the first that grooves harder than these

In the most boring ways possible
Supergiant used up all their fun ideas on Hades 1. They shouldn't have made a sequel.

roguelikes are all shit. its a genre that wastes your time with tedium. the game would be better without the roguelike elements.

Except that's not true, roguelikes simply allow for difficulty in games to exist again. It's just a modern version of how in Super Mario Bros. if you game over'd you'd have to start from World 1-1 with some meta-progression sprinkled on top. Your take is so lukewarm its temperature is akin to your IQ.

bastion continues to be the sole game supergiant hacks actually finished
>transistor
last third of the game is a pointless exposition dump and a track through the most boring terrain imaginable
>pyre
can see the seams of the earlier survival-rpg-management elements with the naked eye, but all that remains is basketball and dialogue
>hades
rehashed isometric combat from bastion and transistor, and the rogueli*e format is antithetical to a proper story (gorillion voice clips do not a story make)
>hades 2
more like "all the problems with hades"^2

h1 tracks had way better atmosphere and were way less creatively bankrupt desu. I thought H2 was gonna sound great after having heared the main menu theme, but after having gotten bored of it after 30 hours i realise i dont remember most songs of it while almost everything in H1 is in my memory
specially the ambient tracks, h2 ambients are so lame

for generic action tracks just the first zone alone has more sovl

but i guess the above is debatable and someone could subjectively prefer 2's... But what ISNT debatable is that this unequivocally mogs the whole hades 2 roster so far:

dunno if the devs actually revealed any info, but between conspicuously unique mechanics and being very different from their usual isometric hacking and slashing affair, pyre has quite a few atavisms
i'm betting the original concept was either more roguelite-y or more of a dedicated journey management sim, because your first way to the mount and the subsequent grind clash terribly
the first act consists of a long trek where you can get different benefits by going different ways excluding the singular time you get no bonus whichever way you go, backtrack a bit, and also engage in a few gimmick sections, like defending from wolves and dodging water currents, that remix the basketball rites
in the second act your means of transport gains the ability to fly, and you just pick which enemy team you want to battle exactly, also all the opponent/party member/overall story progression happen almost completely independently from each other, unlike the strictly linear first act

I figured those special events were meant to serve as a tutorial to the mechanics, but yeah you have a point.
Honestly I'm pretty pleased with the pfinal product, I can't imagine how they'd keep the current story but make it a management game without obliterating pacing

Hades is one of those series that gets over praised by journos and makes me suspicious. Also the art is ugly
