As Hades 2 arrives in full, is early access good or bad for the overall video game experience?

Eurogamer asks if early access is a good thing for your experience with video games.

While most of you no doubt know what we mean by early access, we're referring to when a game is released to a store (usually Steam) in an unfinished state, but with the promise that new content will be added over time and it'll eventually launch as a complete 1.0 version. I'm firmly on the side of "buying and playing games in early access is a bizarre thing to do, and borderline sabotage of your own enjoyment," just to be clear. You might think I've been hoisted by my own petard, but this game is designed in such a way that you're really getting a sandwich to begin with, a tasty one, but then some sides to make the meal that bit more interesting.
