How to play Hades with a friend: Hades Co-op

Two players fight through the Underworld with minimal gameplay changes — one runs Zagreus, the other a second fighter. Steam lists Hades as single-player, so it won't show up in Steam's own "games we both own" view as something you can play together — Ready Up counts it anyway, marked "Via mod", and you can hide mod-only games with one filter if that's not your thing.
