I wrote about 'roguelikes', their history, the controversy around the name and the reason why we like them so much in my most recent article. It's in spanish and you can find it here.

So, ¿what are your favorite roguelikes? Hades is out of the game. We all love Hades (except Yaru, we know).

Reached the epilogue.

enter image description here

(the spoiler blur is not very effective here, is it? 🤣️)

Almost 100 escape attempts

And 29 successful escapes.

That last boom, Lightning Rod, is incredibly overpowered. Any crystal left in the ground continually damages your enemies. Bosses are a joke, you just cast a bunch of times and then just dash around while your crystals do …

I think that with that, that's a wrap for Hades. It's amazing that even at this point I'm still discovering new wrinkles in the combat.

Am I the only one who thinks that the main leitmotif from Last Words (Hades) sounds very similar to the one from Forbidden Knowledge (Pyre)

Compare and contrast 👇️

I am aware Internet could eat my soul for saying this, but 12 runs in, I'm not enjoying this game at all :(

I've been waiting for games to go on discount before I buy them so I don't feel so bad with a growing backlog, and this was one of the games I was keeping a constant look on. Didn't expect to be getting it so soon but here we are. Was just getting back to regularly playing video games with Dragon Quest XI but between this one and my surprise enjoyment of Age of Calamity, I might up dive into this hobby once again more than I was initially planning. Seems that this time, when these games came, they came pouring.

And there goes my 15th escape. This is after 3 (three!!) failed attempts, two of which failed by the hand of the champions of Elysium and the other, embarrassingly, by some random monster in Tartarus. The culprit is tat blasted "High Confidence" buff, which makes everything incredibly harder by starting with 50 less health.

Still playing through this game but starting to lose momentum. The late game suffers a LOT in my opinion. The weapon upgrades are extremely grindy and just don't seem very good. It is a piddly +3% damage to a weapon or a special attack that is actually worse than the original; the Shield and Spear special attack upgrades are much …

It is a piddly +3% damage to a weapon or a special attack that is actually worse than the original; the Shield and Spear special attack upgrades are much harder to use than their vanilla counterparts.

This is a weird one. I was finally (FINALLY!) able to beat the final boss a second time. Total Victory is shown as '2', but then it only shows one victory on the weapons section, ignoring that I've already beaten the game with Lance.

Like this post if you stopped for a few minutes to listen to this the first time you met Eurydice.

PS: Sorry if I'm flooding the feed with too much Hades stuff, but this game is stunning.

SuperGiant's twitter account is a delight. Not only retweets all the awesome fanart, but it publishes these little snippets of behind the scenes that really highlights how much love and attention to detail goes into creating these incredibly polished games.

Even the simple act of opening a menu screen in a game is an opportunity for that game to draw you into its world. Our resident UI and VFX artist @kirbyLFO has been making our intricate menu animations since Transistor. Have a look, and go deep into the Well of Charon! #HadesGame pic.twitter.com/qSKk7PwEbl
