It is funny that the point of a game that launches with the simple goal to kill your dad is that there is no escape

Finally cleared Hades. Liked it so much, I cleared it again. Gods bless the RNG in this game. And Skelly. Skelly is my main man.

If mobile devices can run games like Call of Duty and Genshin Impact, then it's possible for them to run Hades. I'd be all over a mobile port. For what I currently have, playing it on an iPad with a Bluetooth controller would be portable gaming bliss. We got Dead Cells, now this would be cool.

I've made it to the Elysium boss a few times now. Thoughts so far:
This game is really fun. The artstyle is fantastic. It's stylized but not too cartoony and all the characters are hot. Voice acting can be a bit iffy sometimes with the filters tossed on everyone's voice, but it's solid enough anyway.
The feeling of inching slightly …

The feeling of inching slightly more forward every single time and incrementally purchasing permanent upgrades is super satisfying. The RNG feels fair, none of the upgrades on the field really seem like a total bust, though there's obviously some that are a cut or two above (FULL AUTO BOW).
Overall I'm very much enjoying it. There is no escape.
Edit: I cannot believe I forgot to mention the soundtrack. It SLAPS.

I wish to register a complaint about this game!
I was fighting so hard to survive on a run over Christmas playing Hades, I think I bruised and/or strained the palm of my hand! The right joy-con was pressed so hard into my hand in the heat of battle, I hurt myself!
I blame Hades! It's too good and I …

I was fighting so hard to survive on a run over Christmas playing Hades, I think I bruised and/or strained the palm of my hand! The right joy-con was pressed so hard into my hand in the heat of battle, I hurt myself!
I blame Hades! It's too good and I cannot put it down long enough for my hands to recover!
It's taken nearly 48 hours for the pain to subside and for my grip power to return!
Hades injured me! And I don't think any other game has ever done that to me!

if you had told me years ago that i'd gladly be playing a roguelike that not only encourages repetition, but actually makes me restart from the beginning every time i die, i'd have laughed in your face and asked what the hell is wrong with you.
turns out, all the hell is right with me.

Completed my first run using the shield on 2020.12.16 but this game is not over yet, I'm not sure at what point exactly to mark the game as completed.

do you ever pick up a game because there's so much hype and buzz around it from people whose opinions you trust? even if it's a game you wouldn't usually get? i do. on occasion. usually i'm disappointed, either in my friends, the game, but mostly myself.

do you ever pick up a game because there's so much hype and buzz around it from people whose opinions you trust? even if it's a game you wouldn't usually get? i do. on occasion. usually i'm disappointed, either in my friends, the game, but mostly myself.
hades i do not regret. i picked it up solely because of the buzz, in spite of my natural inclinations and was completely hooked. this is just a fun game. it's hard to put down, but even more than that: it's not just a compulsion. even after having been put down, picking it up again is just as enjoyable, just as exuberant. the weapons are fun. as somebody who read through the d'aulaires' book of greek myths in middle or high school, i know basically exactly enough for th emythology story stuff to be fun. i will play this game more.
and i like the ways the game subtly encourages you to try weapons you dont gravitate towards... it doesnt feel like you're forced to do it. playing wiht one weapon makes you learn how to fight effectively with the others.
good game

Hades? They should rename this game Haters because all the bosses are real haters!
I also beat this and have thoughts but this is all I could think to post for now.
