Enjoyed Hades 2 early access on my deck but really looking forward to firing up the 1.0 version in a couple of weeks time.
Hoping replaced has been worth the wait, I'm loving it's artistic direction.

Barbie for me... No! Wait! I didn't mean to reveal that... 🤣

I will definitely get to Hades 2 at some point because I was not particularly good at the first game (although I like to think that RNG did me dirty much of the time!), and, after many, many attempts, I only ever got to the final bit once where I promptly died and lost the will to continue in the game. Thus this relegates the sequel to being played on Game Pass just in case I face the same problems. Quite when I will get to it I am not entirely sure because it is a busy time for games for me, what with Pragmata, Saros and Crimson Desert to contend with, but I do want to play Hades 2 and it seems prudent to do so whilst it is on Game Pass. Plus, if I play it on Game Pass it will be the first game I have done so this year. Truthfully, Game Pass is wasted on me, so not really sure what I shall do when it runs out in June next year, but that greatly depends on Helix. All will be revealed at some point, I'm sure.

I also want to play Aphelion, but I am undecided on whether to buy it or play it on Game Pass. I think it depends on whether it reviews well. If it does, I shall buy it. If not, then I'll either play it on Game Pass or ignore it entirely. I'll be disappointed if it is a poor game because it does look pretty decent...

My god. It's not looking optimistic is it?

@Fiendish-Beaver I get what you mean about Hades being heartbreaking at times when you get close. But I stuck with it and when I stumbled upon some broken builds I was absolutely melting bosses and it's one of the best power fantasies I've ever had in a game.

Word of warning with Hades 2 though as the protagonist uses a sprint instead of a dash and it somewhat forced me to totally change my playstyle. Maybe you'll prefer it, maybe not. Just giving you a heads up 😁

I know I should go back to the first game, @Llamageddon, but I really did spend a long time with it, and it was either terrible RNG for me, or I was just awful at it. I prefer to think it was the former...! 😉

I will definitely give the second game a go though. Who knows, the Gaming Gods maybe kinder to me this time round... 😂

I didn’t know, or forgot, that Aphelion was coming to Game Pass that’s a win. Also hoping Replaced lives up to expectations. I’ll probably try Kiln. Hades 2 i'd rather buy tbh. That’s more than enough.
