I've been a little interested, especially since I hit the epilogue and beat Extreme Measures Hades in Hades.

How is the weapon/combat variety? It's looked kind of samey compared to the Hades weapons based on the streams I've watched, but I haven't seen a whole lot.

I think the variety is pretty good, so far. You're equipped with three kinds of weapons: Main, secondary, and two-handed. They all have some variety like ranged, light, heavy, medium. And then you mix and match. Passive abilities vary between weapons, so a shield might give you a 25% chance to automatically parry attacks, while throwing knives might instead reward you for making perfect dodges.

In the end variety is pretty good but as far as I've gotten, it's more about personal preference than in Hades. The weapons (especially their passive abilities) might slightly alter how you fight enemies, but it's more about just knowing when to dodge/parry, regardless of weapon. In Hades the various aspects will drastically change how you kill enemies. In this game it might be "oh I found this really strong two-handed weapon, that means I'll have to dodge less and parry more, since dodging takes stamina that I need for hitting". And you find new equipment constantly, kind of like Dead Cells, which can shake up your playstyle slightly during a run. But there's still a pretty distinct feel to each weapon, and they also vary in terms of knockback effects, how they move the character, etc which shakes things up.
