Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 20, 2026)
A roguelike sequel praised for its builds, Hades II scores 89.1, top 20% of the games we analyzed, though its ending divides players.
👍 Strengths
87 reviews enjoy it a great deal, and the most upvoted rates it beyond a perfect score. 59 praise the art style, music and voice acting, and Visuals & Sound ranks 146th of 1249. 54 value the number of builds and weapons that change the playstyle of a run, and Gameplay ranks 112th of 1396. Content Volume ranks 56th of 1351, and Tech & Support ranks 119th of 1399.
👎 Where it falls short
Story & World ranks 861st of 1096. 97 reviews criticize the story's ending, calling it weak, rushed or unsatisfying, and some feel it betrays the characters. 19 find the progression grindy, with materials to farm and features locked behind upgrades outside of runs, and a few say new unlocks dry up late in the game. 14 say combat feels less fluid, and some find the screen hard to read when effects pile up or miss the old double dash.
