Hades 2 already plays like a perfectly ambitious follow-up to one of the greatest-ever roguelikes (www.gamesradar.com)

I just hope seeing the end doesn't involve "beating" the game fifty times while getting dribbled one line of new dialogue every time that usually didn't even mean anything.

YouTube exists, bros, who are you kidding

...

I am obviously getting 2 though, so I guess they're kidding me.

My main file has 418 plays (I think the highest heat I've cleared is 23-24 maybe?), and I got the game mid-2022. Drip fees me that plot, Supergiant, because I AM the target audience.

The first game became significantly easier as more stuff was unlocked, so beating a round wasn't quite so tough by the end.

I know you were exaggerating, but I think it was 10 completions that were required in total, with new stuff unlocking pretty consistently past the first, so much so that the strategy was evolving significantly between the first and the last.

Didn't they also release a god mode version if you just wanted story as well?

It's 10 clears to actually reunite with a certain someone, it's literally 50+ to finish the epilogue (you can probably streamline that, but that seems to be the community consensus for epilogue timing)

And I don't know about you, but I usually read the epilogue of a book.

I found the game addictive enough i wasn't counting but am surprised it was that many! I kept doing runs long after too.

I never even beat it once 😭

Wow, I finished the game 50 times? That's amazing, I had no idea. Guess time flies when you're having fun

I didn't realize it was so many for the epilogue. Might have to go back to now. Thanks.

I dropped before even beating the game 1 time. That’s just crazy.

I stopped after I hit a 100 clear streak… guess it just clicked with me.
