Based on having played Hades 1 in its Early Access release and then on vanilla, I'm fairly confident it will be fixed because both are easily solved and immediately obvious to anyone from the outset. If not, it'll be laughably easy to mod regardless.
I saw some extended gameplay and I agree with you.
Boss health is too much and the grindy aspects seem worse in this.
I opted not to buy it at this time.
I will see if the final release is any better.
