- Hades 2 has become one of OpenCritic’s top 10 highest-rated titles of all time.
- The sequel achieved this milestone after its critic reviews rose to 95.
- The review score is equal to the likes of GTA 4, RDR2, Astro Bot, and other gems.
Among tough competition, Hades 2’s launch was seen as one of the best in 2025 after an incredibly positive player reception. The sequel went on to win the best action game award in TGA 2025 and even surpassed Expedition 33 as the best-rated game of the year.
The game’s ratings have continued to rise since the early boom after launch, now becoming OpenCritic’s ninth highest-rated title of all time.
Why it matters: The recent rating boost reflects that Hades 2 improves upon the original roguelite in almost every way, achieving a high rating and player satisfaction among both casuals and critics alike.
Hades 2’s current critic score has risen to 95 on OpenCritic, making it stand amongst highly popular AAA entries that share a similar score in the top 10 ratings, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, GTA 4, and the like.
Only Super Mario Odyssey, Baldur’s Gate 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have a higher score of 96 or above on OpenCritic.
For those not in the know, Hades 2 also has a 95 critic score on Metacritic, another popular review aggregator site in the gaming scene.
Both the critic and user ratings suggest that Hades 2 has improved in storytelling and gameplay over the original instead of feeling like a recycled experience.
The critic review getting a bump after months also confirms that the subsequent updates have further improved the game since the 1.0 launch.
