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
I have stalled enough. I need to talk about the ending of Hades II (Supergiant Games). Early warning, there will be spoilers from here on out. As always, I will always try to keep the spoilers as vague as possible, but I will have to get prettyt specific in this post. *SPOILERS* When I say… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about the story and characters in Hades II (Supergiant Games). I have cleaned up everything I wanted to do in the game, and I think I’m ready to uninstall it and walk away. I’m not going to say how many hours I put into it; I will say that I wrung every… Continue Reading

I’m back with part two of my official review of Hades II (Supergiant Games). I mentioned in the last post that I hundo chievo’ed the game. I have done everything but one Chaos Trial, and this one–ok. I have to confess. This is called the Great Chaos Above, and it’s a totally random load-out for… Continue Reading
I 100%ed Hades II (Supergiant Games) today. I don’t know how to feel about it because, well, I’ll get into it as I give my offiycial review of the game. I want to start by saying this is a terrific game. I have to make that exceedingly clear because I’ve been down on it in… Continue Reading
I have subtitled this, “I think I’m done”, but I’m really not. It’s more that I’m dealing with the frustrations that I have while continuing to play the game. I found out what the last incantation I unlocked does. *SPOILERS* It makes it so that you can change the seed of run you’re on when… Continue Reading
I have played a surprising number of games this year (I tend to only play FromSoft games), and there is a theme that sums up how I feel about many of the games. That theme is love-hate. Or, in social media talk, it’s complicated. My relationship with the games, I mean. Those include Clair Obscur:… Continue Reading
