I’ve been playing OG Hades for a few days through GamePass. I started it a long time ago but never got very far. I really dig the game and its music and writing, so I’m going to give it the ol’ college try to at least make it out of the underworld once. Game is hard, yo!

Finally picked up Hades II now that it’s been officially released and I can enjoy it with all its polish. Already got 30 hours in and can’t wait to spend more time tonight. The music is just constantly stuck in my head now.

It gets easier as you learn how to use the boons and weapons and other fifty dimensions of stats to optimize or adjust your build and play for your goals / whatever challenges get presented to you. Your character gets stronger as you acquire buffs the more you play, so the real trick is to just keep playing (as long as you’re having fun). I seem to recall there being a bit of a hump at the start before the ball really got rolling; the sequel seems to have leveled this out a bit better, perfecting the already well-made formula.

I’ve definitely gotten more comfortable with it. I’m able to beat Meg fairly consistently now, but I always seem to die a couple levels into the next location. Can’t remember the name, it’s full of lava.

“Time Cannot Be Stopped” might be the greatest game over chant of all time.
