Material changes to the game in the last year?
I completed this game shortly after release and then 100%'ed it again after the story change last November. Haven't played it since the end of 2025.

I see that the game has received several patches since then, so a couple of questions:
1. Was any major story content added to the game? If so, I'd prefer to keep it general and spoiler-free
2. Have any of the balance fixes changed the meta-game sigificantly? Are any gods much more useful/less useful than they used to be? Is Ares still total garbage?

Thanks.

1. Not really. They added a "dream couch" to the base where you can do a run that shuffles all the areas, so you can start with e.g. Tartarus, then fields, then Oceanus, then Olympus. Probably the roguiest way to play aside from Chaos challenges, of which there were some new ones added.

2. Don't think there was much balance change. I like Ares, but to each their own.

To be fair I'm pretty sure Ares had some last minute boon changes/tweaks in one of the post launch updates, one of them changing a boon so swords will appear from plasma pickups, so I would say he did change a smidge and is on more equal footing with the other gods, as he was admittedly lacking a bit before.
They call it the console launch patch but I call it the Ares patch.
Ares got significant buffs in the dream dive patch, yeah.
