SuperGiant has recently released the official playtest of the highly anticipated Hades 2. I was fortunate enough to participate in the test and experience the game in its rawest form. So far, what I have witnessed is amazing. But will it be able to live up to or even surpass the colossal reputation of its predecessor is yet to be seen.
