Night Descends

Wrapped up Hades 2 -- not sure if they'll add more stuff or when, but I got every piece of decor, every rank, and every familiar form (which I initially forgot about; I booted up Hades, did a couple runs and then went back). I had a great time and it really made me feel like I've gotten significantly better at videogames since 2020. Hades is also making me feel that way, considering I got out of the underworld on attempt #12 and last time it took me like... 100? Possibly? It does still feel slightly harder than Hades 2, especially the lava and the hands and the poison, and I just don't enjoy the last two boss fights that much, but then again I didn't enjoy Prometheus much in Hades 2, either, and Cerberus was easy but kind of boring. I love the bone hydra and the Furies, though. Scylla and the Sirens were by far my favorite boss fight in Hades 2, and not just because the songs are bangers and I more than once got to use the thing where you resurrect the last foe you killed to fight against the rest. Breaking up the band indeed.

Currently calmly making my way through Hades. I haven't unlocked all the secret aspects of the weapons yet, and I have a long way to go with the social stuff, I think. I'm also unlikely to let go before I fulfill all the prophecies. Or discover all the fish. Where the hell are all the fish? Persephone is down in Hell and has been for a while, and I have nowhere near enough of anything to get all the Stygian mirror abilities or decorations. Not sure how far I'll get in that regard, but I'm not stopping yet.

The Burning Shores DLC was on sale -- and so is everything else I want, but all the big games are still ridiculously expensive even then -- so I will probably replay Horizon: Forbidden West when I decide I'm done with Hades.

Feel free to ask for like, Hades/2 top 5s, I would love an excuse to rank so much of this shit lmao.
