Hades II: For Your Consideration!

After nearly five years of development, and more than a year of Early Access, we launched v1.0 of Hades II this fall! It since became the most critically acclaimed game of the year according to Metacritic and OpenCritic, an incredible honor considering how many fantastic games have shipped this year. If you likewise had a good experience it, we would greatly appreciate your consideration in this year's Steam Awards, which are a powerful way to lend your support for your personal favorites!

Our foremost goal with Hades II was to ensure our first-ever sequel could be a worthy successor to the original. We also wanted Hades II to be the sort of game you could quickly pick up and start playing, whether for a few minutes at a time or for long stretches. So we hope you'll consider us for the honor of Best Game on Steam Deck! We did our best to ensure the game ran really well and felt right at home on Valve's portable gaming system.


As you can nominate Hades II in only a single category, if it's not your favorite game on Steam Deck, we would be grateful for your consideration in categories such as Best Soundtrack, Outstanding Visual Style, or even the highest honor of Game of the Year.

We know there are many deserving games for you to choose from, so we're grateful for your consideration and thank you for playing.
