I beat Hades 2, at least the main/normal ending, not the whatever 100% completionist ending that's going to take another 50 hours if I decide to stick around.

I'm going to be vague to avoid spoilers, but overall I liked the direction it went. It was not enough to fully make up for the decrease in quality since the first game, but it was a partial recovery, better than expected. I don't think they did a great job of leading up to it, which could have made the earlier game better. My overall assessment of the game doesn't change qualitatively: the gameplay mechanics are better, the story/atmosphere is worse, and since it's a roguelite game which is primarily about the gameplay mechanics rather than the story, overall I think it comes out ahead of Hades 1. I'm more confident on this conclusion that I was in my previous post when I hadn't gotten to the ending yet. Still disappointed that it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it's fine. Get it if you played and liked the first one.
