Never liked supergiants approach to a difficulty curve. Dumping all the difficulty modifiers and asking me to balance the game myself always seems like way too much choice. Especially in a roguelike with all the wasted time and frustration that would come with experimenting with it. Deterred from using it and lead the second half feeling like a bit of …

Anyone else is itching for Scylla and the Sirens to release al album and go on tour?

Finally got to the ending. It's honestly not a great ending. Everything was resolved rather abruptly and arguably off-screen. And then the contrivances to create a post-game stretched my suspension of disbelief to their limits and then some more.

I don't believe I'm going to engage with it though. From what I read, it's a lot of grinding for Nectar and I'm not sure the narrative will pay it off.

Otherwise a really good game, but what is up with the requirements for the true ending? Feels like a really cheap way to make the game longer. I liked the game but don't know if I liked it that much to play through it so many times. I probably won't ever finish this completely (so I won't review this either) …

I liked the game but don't know if I liked it that much to play through it so many times. I probably won't ever finish this completely (so I won't review this either) but I had good fun for a while. Would have probably ended up at four stars.

Death to Chronos.

enter image description here

That iron man suit is nuts. I got these boons improving the special and Lucid Gain restored mana every time I casted. So I just destroyed everything by casting + omega special from afar. Plus my loyal cat, of course.

First win against Chronos!

I love my trusty Toula.

And yes, I was on 5 health ☠️.

Oh, boy. Got one of those broken builds that make this kind of game so compelling. Gathered a bunch of mana, then a boom that added extra life proportional to mana, and a couple that added damage to my omegas but with increased mana cost (that I had plenty).

Oh, boy. Got one of those broken builds that make this kind of game so compelling. Gathered a bunch of mana, then a boom that added extra life proportional to mana, and a couple that added damage to my omegas but with increased mana cost (that I had plenty). So I was using mana a lot, so then came a Selene boom, which since I was using so much mana, I could trigger every 5 seconds or so. Add some ice powerups to my casting and I could freeze everyone in place while I charged a bunch of omegas on their asses.

Cut through the surface levels like a warm knife through butter on my first go without the curse. I got pretty far into Olympus until I fucked it up and got killed.

This is the attention to detail that makes Supergiant such a great developer: You can see your booms by pressing left on the d-pad. Also, some items can increase the rarity of random booms. If you press left right after grabbing one of those items, the boom menu autoselects the one that was randomly selected. That's just peak QoL.

The Sirens are such an amazing bossfight. I love how the music changes when you disable each instrument.

I hadn't noticed how much I missed supergiant games. The arstyle, the voice acting, the wonderful music, Ashley Barrett's singing... It's like coming home.

Started only a few days ago. Feels like I'm already addicted. 10 hours on the game clock and yet to finish a run but I'm enjoying just plugging away and testing new set-ups and load outs.

I didn't like going into the Chaos realm because honestly, I don't care much for the boons there. Turns out, that's where I can get Origin seeds that grow into Thalamus, which I need to explore the surface. It feels too late for this now as I've already beaten Chronos 9 times, and I'm kinda tired of making runs. Maybe …

I am one win away from finally beating the game (I assume, based on the number of ingredients needed for that incantation), and then I died in the battle with the third guardian in two successive runs. Time to pick up my knitting needles.

Beat Chronos for the second time and with a different weapon, which was a nice indication that the first one was not a fluke after I died in the paws of the third guardian in the run that succeeded that.

Beat Chronos for the second time and with a different weapon, which was a nice indication that the first one was not a fluke after I died in the paws of the third guardian in the run that succeeded that. Excited to use the other weapons and encounter more boon variations. Not sure if this excitement would last a handful of runs though as I am already starting to feel the repetitiveness. I should probably go to the surface more but I don't have the ingredients for the incantation to breathe there yet.

Brought death to Chronos for the first time, and I'm happy and satisfied. Was using the great axe, which I struggled with in my first run of the day (I choose whichever has the bone bonus). In any case, all weapons have grown to me and so has all the gods' boons except Hermes's.
