Hades II hands you the blade, the torches, and the witchcraft of Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld, on a mission to take down Chronos, the Titan of Time himself. It’s everything that made the first game a legend, boon-stacking builds, gorgeous art, and a cast of gods you actually want to talk to, expanded with a new Magick system, lunar Hexes from Selene, and two full routes to fight through: one diving deep below the Underworld and one pushing across the surface toward Olympus.
Supergiant’s first-ever sequel walked out of early access in September 2025 and promptly became the best-reviewed game of the year, then landed on PS5 and Xbox in 2026 to complete the set. Whether you’re chasing the story, the builds, or just one more run against the God of Time, this is the roguelike bar every other game on this list gets measured against.
