    I’m beyond excited, this was the best early access experience I’ve ever had by a mile. It’s gotta be a GotY contender.

    Hell of a year for indies/small publishers.

    I made the mistake of playing too much in early access and it was a lot of fun but I am worried it ruined the experience. Looking forward to trying a fresh playthrough!

      Had this experience with Dead Cells. Regretted it and haven’t touched games until they reached 1.0 since then.

      And I make a point of avoiding early access (though I have been known to drift too far in the other direction and I play a lot of PICO-8 prototypes), so I’m looking forward to seeing this one with fresh eyes!

    TOO MUCH GAMES I REALLY AM EXCITED FOR!!!

    But yeah. Hades 1 might actually be the best “full package” roguelite I have ever played. VERY solid gameplay and an unlock system that gets you your full arsenal within the first two hours but then encourages you to learn every single aspect of that as more and more options open up. And it is Supergiant so the story ranges from laughing at the horny to leaving you misty eyed to having a full blown weep-fest during credits as you try to comprehend what you just saw while immediately contextualizing it with your own Life. All done in a way that actually takes advantage of the game mechanics which is what makes Supergiant (and Greg Kasavin) so special.

    I TECHNICALLY still have the final final ending to do with Hades 1. Should… probably do that some time. But what little I played of 2 so far is already so fricking good.

    Deltarune, Silksong, and now this?! These great games need to cool it for a bit, I don’t have the time to play them all!
