This game is bloody awesome, I'm having a difficult time ranking it against the 1st game since that was also fantastic.
I think maybe the way the story has been unfolding is a little weaker, since Hades gradually opened up in order (I'm also having a harder time against
Chronos
than I did against
Hades
in the 1st game & haven't been able to beat the 2nd phase yet).
I'm not sure if it's easier or harder, since I had to rely on God Mode for the 1st game but I've not used it yet on Hades 2.
