Hades 2’s BIGGEST Missed Opportunity

by

In the gameplay of Hades 2, Boons are essential. Similar to its earlier version, the Boons in Hades 2 provide strong enhancements inspired by Greek gods, each of which significantly alters the gameplay experience. For instance, you can destroy projectiles by charging into them or freeze enemies with spells and attacks.

In addition to influencing gameplay, the divine Boons in Hades 2 serve as a means of furthering character relationships within the game. After a player accepts a blessing, dialogue from the deity is triggered. With the recent “Olympic” update, Hades 2 now offers Boons from almost every significant Olympian. However, there remains one crucial Greek god yet to fully join the roster.

Hades Should Start Offering Full Boons in Hades 2’s Post-Game

Releasing Hades Should Give Players A Wealth of New Abilities in Hades 2’s Post-Game

In its present early access phase, players can explore deep within Tartarus, where they’ll encounter the famous Greek deity of Death and King of the Underworld, Hades, who is bound by his Titan father, Chronos. Despite urging his daughter (player-controlled Melinoe) against challenging Chronos, Hades provides her with a few helpful advantages. As Chronos serves as the ultimate adversary in the underworld route of Hades 2, Hades’ advantages are essentially useful for only one battle, and they have no relevance elsewhere within the game.

In the debut version of “Hades 2”, it would be exciting if Hades were equipped with a distinct collection of Boons. Players could gain access to these unique powers after they successfully vanquish Chronos for the initial time, thereby liberating Hades from his underworld confinement and enabling him to bestow Boons during Melinoe’s ascent from the underworld to the surface and Mount Olympus.

As a gamer immersed in the world of Hades 2, I can only imagine the thrill of wielding powers befitting the God of the Dead. One such ability could be the summoning of spirits from the battlefields of yore to momentarily lend aid. This would introduce an innovative defensive tactic to the combat system, making it more intriguing and engaging.

In simple terms, the significant update for the game Hades 2 is scheduled to roll out around early 2025. This update will introduce fresh Boons, new adversaries, and an additional region along the game’s surface journey.

Hades and Melinoe’s Relationship Could Be Explored Via Boons

One significant advantage of bestowing Hades with a complete collection of Boons is the chance it offers to Supergiant Games in delving deeper into the intricate bond between Hades and Melinoe, a connection that has been subtly hinted at but not fully explored in the early access version of Hades 2. These interactions can be gradually developed through the conversations that ensue when Melinoe accepts Boons from her father.

These interactions could provide a convenient method for Hades 2 to delve into Zagreus’ location, should this aspect not be part of the planned future developments for Hades 2. Although the narrative of Hades 2 appears well-developed, the bond between Melinoe and her family seems underdeveloped at present. If Hades 2 were to release without further elaborating on these relationships, it might leave players feeling that the story is not fully rounded out.
