I respect this game and what it managed to accomplish, it's influence is still felt in many games I enjoy. that being said it's the only game I've ever hated to a point I couldn't finish it.
the concept of a huge, beautifully detailed world with almost nothing in it is pretty cool in theory, but my mushy ipad-baby cocomelon brain did not vibe with it. I was never inspired to explore because, what's the point? I can see similarly lush environments in other games but actually have something to do in them.
and I know the janky controls have been spoken about to death but oh my god it's ASS

Hades was already perfect in my eyes, I was fully expecting this game to just be more of the same but maybe a bit longer.
My god. They somehow made a masterful gameplay loop even better. These people are geniuses. I think this is forever gonna be one of my favorite games of all time, unless they make a Hades 3 that dethrones it (please omg 🙏).
Literally the one and only downside is that it's technically unfinished (as of June 2024) and I REALLY want to know what happens in the story! Beating Eris and then being given the boot back to the crossroads made me sad!
But I can be patient for a game as perfect as this!
