Calling it now: Hades 2 will be the GOTY winner.
This is "news" related because there's all sorts of positive reception to Hades 2. Now of course this was expected: Hades is beloved, SuperGiant always delivers on quality.
But what's really impressive is that even with all the high expectation it's still surprising and impressing. It seems to be both more of Hades but also different enough to be intriguing.
And unlike Hellblade 2 or FF7:rebirth or Dragon's Dogma 2 I can't imagine any pushback, any reason to crap on it. It's not going to have "no gameplay," or bullshit microtransactions or bloated wasteful content.
Personally while I liked Hades I also just can't deal with rogueli*es and would have preferred SuperGiant to move on to something else but there isn't enough of the media/critical/twitchtube gamer culture that will agree with me on this. And even that is just personal preference not a complaint or criticism. I'm still pleased for SuperGiant and Hades' fans.
