Hades 2 just became 2025's highest-rated PC game, surpassing Expedition 33
Following up an award-hoarding hit with a sequel is a tough gig - innovations and new content may upset those that worshipped the original, and the expectation bar will always be set sky high. Hades 2 has faced this very challenge, but Supergiant has given it plenty of cooking time in early access to create what appears to be the perfect roguelike sequel. With version 1.0 arriving tomorrow, September 25, critic reviews have just come flooding in. With an average of 94 on Metacritic, Hades 2 is not only being scored more highly than its predecessor, but it has now shot to the top of the aggregator's 2025 chart for PC games, surpassing GOTY frontrunner Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
