This game is already worth every cent in its current state. Can't wait to see what the last polish will bring.

Update? I hadn't even realised it had been released.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It hasn't. You've been able to play the pre-release/beta for many months now

Is it pretty much there?

I can't speak to the new update, but the pre-relesae version lets you face and beat the main boss multiple times just like in Hades 1. However (and I'm trying to avoid spoilers here), there is a "second path" in Hades 2 that didn't exist in Hades 1 which currently only allows you to get partway through before you receive a "thanks for playing Hades 2!" win screen obscuring the rest of the game.

Random guess, I'd say the game is like 60-70% playable to players right now, but as the game is larger it's already close to equivalent to Hades 1.

Gotcha. Will hold off for now. Thanks.

Just wait to play it. You can buy it. It's close to being done it's worth it. That being said I miss zagg lol

What's zagg?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you play the original? Zagreus or Zag.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ah gotcha, yeah I did.
