Hard to fully review a game that isn’t even out of early access, but my thoughts thus far: Holy Shit, they did it again. Hades was a top contender for GOTY back in 2019, and honestly this might be definitively GOTY for 2024.

Honestly, the story is the slowest part of this game. Once you complete the main scenario, the gameplay switches to what is functionally Monster Hunter, and that's where the real good stuff lies. I do wish the player could get that feel without the story in the way, especially since arranging for multiplayer when you're still playing the story is a nightmare.

An ideal endless multiplayer experience, this game is bogged down by the struggling servers and the fact that there is very little to enjoy when playing alone. Democracy never dies though
