Amazing run by the Aces.
Can’t wait for next season

Aspect of Medea is wild. Big fan of Melly’s Torches too though

I think I have seen the ending ending ending

Will I do a 32 fear run for the sake of it?

Hades 2 is a fantastic game, but I do wish the end game had a little more direction.

Starting to go into "another run, I guess?" territory now

After playing all this Hades I wanted to read the original stories again and downloaded "Mythos" by Stephen Fry and was immediately reminded how messed up those stories are, as by chapter 2, Chronos cuts off his dad's gonads.

This final is all about which team I dislike the least, but I still felt for the Mercury.

Bring back harmless ragebait 2026

I think it's weird that out of the HUNDREDS of companies that made a "pizza flavoured" product, NONE have managed to really nail the distinct taste of pineapple.

Shouldn't be that hard.

Rolled credits on Hades 2 (knowing there is still lots of story and stuff to do after)

Peak video game.
