Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing?
PKscope@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’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!

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.

This is cool. I’ve never heard of it before. Seems like the kind of thing my fiancé would dig. I’ll have to show her.
