Sounds like hades 2 is definitely gonna be harder for me than the first once I play it, because I totally used the shield (and athena shield dashing) as a crutch in the first game

Haha same! I miss Athena's dash ;w;

Interesting to hear your thoughts on Hades II! I've sunk maybe 20 hours so far? Currently waiting for more content. Personally I've found it easier than the first game; especially after coming back to Hades 1 lol. The new sprint (rather than) mechanics are way stronger than you'd think - if you wanna go unga bunga, I rec Poseidon sprint for a fun time. Some aspects also have healing mechanics which helps a lot.

Ooh thanks for the advice! I'll definitely give it a try! Yeah, I think I'm underestimating some of the new mechanics. I didn't really use sprint that much, mainly because I kept forgetting it existed lol. I think my main issue is that none of Mel's weapons have clicked with me yet. I started a new save in Hades, and even while weak, I'm having a way easier time with Zag and his weapons
