Critics are praising Hades 2 as the best new game of 2025 so far, even ranking it above the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. After being available in early access for a year, the full version of the game is now released. Developed by Supergiant Games, Hades 2 is a sequel to the original, offering a similar gameplay experience with enhanced features and improvements.
Both *Hollow Knight: Silksong* and *Hades 2* are sequels to incredibly popular indie games, and both have received a lot of positive attention. *Silksong* launched earlier this month after a six-year wait and was initially ranked as the highest-rated game ever, though it now holds a very impressive overall score of 92. This tied it with *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* as the highest-rated new game of the year, but *Hades 2* has since taken the top spot – at least for the time being.
Hades 2 Reviews
Reviews for *Hades 2* are overwhelmingly positive. OpenCritic gives it a score of 93, while Metacritic scores it even higher at 94. Critics are praising the game’s art style, fast-paced combat, and fantastic music, with many giving it perfect scores. Most reviewers agree that *Hades 2* improves on the already excellent first game. While scores could change slightly, it’s currently the highest-rated new game release of the year, even surpassing titles like *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* and *Silksong*.
It’s no surprise that *Hades 2* received excellent reviews, and it’s definitely made the competition for Game of the Year even tougher. So far, 2024 has been a fantastic year for independent games, and it will be exciting to see if an indie title wins the big award at The Game Awards in December.
One potential challenge for *Hades 2* is its limited availability. Currently, the game is only available on PC and Nintendo Switch, meaning players on PlayStation and Xbox can’t access it yet. While there’s no confirmed release date for those consoles, the original *Hades* took almost a year to launch on PlayStation and Xbox, so fans on those platforms might have to wait a while.
