Hades II players claim new Chaos design “doesn’t fit” character’s lore

Despite receiving rave reviews and incorporating clever improvements from its predecessor, Hades II appears to have failed in its design of one of its most intimidating characters, Chaos.

Hades II has been generating a lot of buzz since its Early Access release, largely due to its successful incorporation of the first game’s strengths and further improvement upon them.

Despite the overall positive reception, one negative aspect that fans have been pointing out is the new design for Chaos, a returning character who many feel has lost their former mystique and intimidation.

In the first game, Chaos had a non-human, ancient appearance that mirrored their being and the environment they inhabited. However, in the second installment, they possess a more human, feminine appearance which has left fans perplexed.

Despite the new design, many believe that Chaos no longer possesses the same presence that it once had, causing concern among Hades II players that the character has lost much of the charm and uniqueness that made them so memorable.

According to a user on the Hades II subreddit, the seemingly genderless being is more fitting as a character from which all of existence originated.

Many have noted that the lore of Chaos is not effectively represented in this new design, as the first game’s portrayal was much more successful.

While some are acknowledging that the design is more aesthetically pleasing than the original, there is a concern that the focus on the image’s beauty has resulted in sacrificing accuracy to the character’s portrayal.

The original Hades received praise for its character designs, making it particularly noticeable to fans that the sequel appears to have missed the mark with this aspect.

Currently in Early Access, the game’s Chaos design may undergo changes in the future. However, at present, it stands out among a sea of home runs for players.
