All of the mysteries that were set up in the first game ended up being really disappointing alongside one of the worst decisions ever made with the choice of bringing back Asogi. Yujin and Sholmes's dance of deduction however is the highlight of the entire franchise.
I don't like the roguelike genre, so when I completed my first run of Hades I dropped it. When I came back to it after a few years, something must have changed in me, cause this game is goated.
For some reason, the game starts you with the most vanilla combat you'll ever play, but once the game actually lets you create combos on your own, it's amazing.
