I'm planning out which games I want to play for the Grouvee Video Game Challenge - would it make sense to list Hades under Brawler? I know it's not, but I don't tend to play actual Brawler games, and I've been sitting on Hades for over a year now so this would be a great excuse to get it out …

Ahhh, so close. So damn close. I survived most of Hades second phase with almost no health and I almost got him. So damn close.

Ugh, Theseus is so annoying, I could kill him...

...oh wait, I can’t. Lol.

Hades is the first game I've beat since I took the dive and purchased a gaming desktop, and what a fun game it was! I'm a big souls person, so this is a bit different in terms of combat, but the gameplay is an absolute blast, and I really learned a lot about Greek mythology along the way. Definitely lives up to the hype that it got the past year.

Finished the 10 runs of what I think is all of the main story content. But hoping to see more fresh content in future escapes!

Ok, I take it back. I love the bow. Actually I love every weapon so far but I have to admit, having the right boons on the bow really makes it godly.

Fantastic so far, as expected. Combat feels great, nice and fluid and satisfying. I don’t love the bow as of yet but I am split on whether I like the sword or the shield most. Both have significant pros. I’ve only played a couples hours so far but am happy to finally be sinking my teeth into it

The physical edition came with a nice little booklet of character illustrations and the soundtrack, for anyone curious.

Oooh, exciting. My copy is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm just about to finish up Mario 3D World, so it's the perfect time to launch into Hades. Good times!

Ah yes, preorders are open. I’ve been checking periodically but hadn’t seen it available until today. Happy to have a copy on order now.

It's surprising to me that despite the announcement of a physical release, and the close probity to the release date of that physical edition, you can't actually order this anywhere. I'm curious who is handling the release and if it will simply be available to purchase on the release date without any pre-order options.

Yesssss! I knew it was worth waiting. Physical edition for Switch forthcoming!

I DEFEATED HADES!!! I would like to thank Demeter, for letting me call on her winter voids in my greatest hour of need; and Skelly, for always believing in me no matter the odds.
