It’s been interesting to read the discourse on Hades II (Supergiant Games) because of the varying opinions. Most people agree that the gameplay is the star of the show. Many people agree that the story is shit, especially the ending. There is a near agreement on how terrible the ending is, which is oddly gratifying.… Continue Reading
I’m on part three of my actual official review of Hades II (Supergiant Games), and I want to delve a bit deeper into the characters to start the post. Here is yesterday’s post in which I was bitching about how there are no good female characters in the game. Selene, the Moon Goddess, is too… Continue Reading
I was going to call this my official official review in honor of the true true ending, but I thougrht thta would be too twee. Ignore the fact that true true ending is pretty twee in and of itself and just take what I’ve said at face value. Here is the first part of my… Continue Reading
I am pretty much done with Hades II (Supergiant Games). I may do a few more runs to see if I get any more post-true true ending content, but I’m not much fussed if I miss out on a few new lines here and there. That’s so different than how I felt about the first… Continue Reading
I have one more post to write about the true true ending of Hades II (Supergiant Games), the epilogue, and the one side mission that infuriated me.

I have gotten the true true ending of Hades II (Supergiant Games) and watched the credits roll (again), and I have many thoughts about it. My first thought is this. Two seemingly opposing things can be simultaneously true. That was running through my head as I bashed out run after run. Why? Because of this.… Continue Reading
I’m back to Hades II (Supergiant Games) after the newest patch went live. I held off on playing it in the beta because I did not want to fuck up my save. I did copy it, following the instructions I found, but I was still hesitant because I have tried to do it before to… Continue Reading
I’ve been playing a bunch of demos in the hopes of finding a hidden gem. One of them is Carto (Sunhead Games). In Googling for the developer, I found out that it’s an indie dev of four people in Taiwan. Very cool! I think I knew they were Taiwanese, but my memory is spotty these… Continue Reading
Before I continue with my feelings about the story and characters of Hades II (Supergiant Games), I have to note that Supergiant Games released a patch today that apparently explains the context for the ending. It doesn’t change the ending, but it gives background to why the ending is the way it is. You have… Continue Reading
