    I think it’s kind of weird that this trend is happening that early access games, games that are not finished, get title updates that are practically advertised as expansions would’ve.

    I always figured early access meant early access to a game until it is a fully developed base game, then start to do “named” expansions.

    It’s not exclusive to this game, but it just seems like a strange development and frankly not a fan of it. Some games linger in early access way too long, but they can always use it as an excuse to get away with bad optimisation or game breaking bugs and what not.

      I can feel that, some games can really abuse the system. It can be beneficial when we’re talking about large feature sets being released, both for developers as well as people keeping track of what’s currently in the game.

      Hades 2 I would argue makes sense as they just added what’s essentially another chapter of the story. Its initial release was also in a really decent state which helps a lot.

    I went so hard on this game when early access first released that I had to uninstall it and force myself to wait until the full release so I don’t burn myself out. It’s so much goddamned fun, though.

      Did the same, although damn is this release ever tempting me. I was done with the first Hades pretty quick, but I could see this one easily sucking me in for 100+ hours. Felt to me like they improved damn near everything, and the vibe is divine. Amelia Tyler is a treasure.

    This update also adds native support for Mac systems with Apple M1 or later

    Impossible, they said it couldn’t be done!
