I really want to give this game a positive review because I love Hades. But Hades 2 Feels different somehow. My feedback might contain (Spoilers)
The main story 8/10 it feels short
The art style is always 10/10 for me.
Tho I wish we can change some pictures of characters because i dont like the new hermes look.
The voice acting 7/10
[spoiler]Polyphemus[/spoiler] - just sounds like asterius.
Nyx voice - sounds really blurry compare to the first game.
Chaos - sometimes his voice is also blurry.
The music is 10/10
I want to focus more on the gameplay feedback because from story to music everything is great.
1. [b]The Arcana Cards(Mirror Of Night in hades1)[/b]
This feels very limiting. Most of the time you wouldn't select the [spoiler]enchantress, charon and champions cards.[/spoiler] So basically useless options.
The user interface also sucks, you cannot see all of your card skin on the right because it's being block by the words and description of the arcana.
You also have to replace it every time each time you want to change weapons and aspects. They could attach it to the weapon instead.
2. [b] Ω moves(Omega moves/Charge Attack) [/b]
This is one thing I dislike it feels very slow you are required to charge attack no matter what weapons you use. Enemy will hit you before you finish charging or your charge attack will miss anyway because the enemy already moved after you release your attack. Auto aim feels terrible, Lim and Oros weapon has no range indicator.
3. [b]Destroying bullets/parrying bullets. [/b]
You can no longer destroy enemy bullets which sucks because you have to do the Ω omega charge attack most of the time and now you have to catch the enemy bullets.
4. [b]Weapons and boons[/b] most of them does not synergize well, like apollo double attack but it doesnt trigger on omega moves, range weapon demands closer attack range with Aphrodite boons. Hera boons feels underwhelming. Additionally dedalus upgrade feels very limited and weaker. overall boons feels much weaker if youre having multiple gods and they don't feel compatible with each other.
Combination of upgrade feels repetitive. Dedalus has back stab upgrade, Apollo have back stab upgrade, weapon has backstab stats. Then the final boss doesnt have a back, what a joke upgrade. Arcana upgrade is also similar to some boons upgrade it doesn't feel unique just a stronger approach.
[h3]To summarize the boons, arcana, Daedalus and weapons lose all the MIX AND MATCH fun moment. non of them feels synergistic including the Attack, special attack of weapons and dash. [/h3]
Then you have to suffer with Prime Mana upgrade which reduce your base mana. its an upgrade why do you have to sacrifice your mana.
[b]5. Bosses have invulnerability moment to attack which is not fun for me. [/b]
6. [b] The game feels like it's designed for the hardcore gamers the new weapons aspect feels difficult to use. [/b]
7. You can still clear runs normally and overpower opponents but
the combat feels lesser hack and slash. You'll have to dodge most of the time they removed the fun gameplay of brute force attacking.
Dashing feels sloppy.
8. Main gameplay,[spoiler] chronos stone and hypnos bed [/spoiler] is all the same. The game is already repetition no need to add more mini game with same gameplay.
