Gameplay

179 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The number of possible builds and weapons that completely change the way you play is outstanding (I’ve already lost count of how many new “favorite” builds I’ve had...).
Story

154 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story was engaging and having the duel zones was a nice touch.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is crisp and on point as the first one was, and the never ending boon combinations never got old.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-painted art style is more breathtaking than ever, the soundtrack is an instant classic, and every line of the witty, heartfelt dialogue is delivered by a flawless voice cast.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The wide variety of weapons, keepsakes and boons ensure that no two runs feel exactly the same, and the way the difficulty scales through the Fear system is both clever and player-friendly: It lets you tailor your own challenge curve instead of forcing one upon you.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That's a great achievement since Hades already had a unique and great art style.
