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

That's fair. Hades wasn't as much my jam, story-wise, as bastion or transistor, for sure. It leaned heavily on tight mechanics and beautiful art, which were also staples of bastion and transistor. So in a sense, I agree. I think there is only so much creativity you can have in a storyline based on something like Greek mythology, and so I'd like to see them return to more original plots.
