It has been over half a year since I made one of these. Time to prove myself again.

Hades became a bit of a cultural phenomenon. Come journey with me as I explore what went into it and why it succeeded.


Have you played Hades? What do you think of the upcoming sequel? What games are you currently playing?

WHAT OTHER SECRETS ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?!!

Played Hades on Switch, and liked it a lot ... until I became able to reliably clear runs, after which I just sort of lost interest because the small number of different bosses and encounter types made every run start feeling the same.

Yeah I definitely can see that argument. I think that's where the pacts of punishment and Erebus challenges were supposed to add difficulty so that players didn't get too bored with the repeated escape attempts. Thank you for the support!
