Hades

Really don't like the bow, just unlocked the spear and will give that a try. The shield is great, my go to weapon

I think Children of Morta did progression better and didn't have to fight the same bosses again on each attaempt as it was spilt into 3 separate levels for each area. That game is also on gamepass and worth playing

I didn't get chance to play this much yesterday due to the little one's birthday but had a couple of runs this morning which led me twice to a boss called Meg. The first run seemed to go on for ages before I got there and was far more challenging, the 2nd boss encounter was much harder but the run shorter(at least it felt that way!)
Unlocked all the weapons in the little practice area that are on show, yet to try the spear. Had a good run with the shield.
Think it's pretty great so far just need to get some quality time in with it.

This thread is gonna be such a crutch for me, I can see it now.

Had a few more goes this morning and enjoying the style and the mechanics. The shield is a lot of fun.

Second boss down first try!

Wasn't that bad that one, although I feel I'd have been caught out with a slightly different build.

Again though, god bless saves. Need a break after scraping through 2 for the first time and I can actually close the app and do other stuff until I'm ready to go back. In your face, Returnal.

Yeah I wasn’t keen, kept dodging into the lava.

Got this on Switch but the PS5 version is better in my less than humble opinion.

It wouldn't be so bad with just lava, but it suddenly decides it needs shitloads of bomb enemies and fireball AOE traps at the same time too.

Wore my X button out.

The bow is God tier when you have the mod that lets you load your relic into it. Absolutely destroys stuff.

And yes Decks the shield is very viable, the mod to it that gives you multi shot with it is excellent

Yeah it's so out of place mate.

Will you STOP. The last place I conquered should always be the hardest. That's how this works.

Yeah I've got Festive Fog on my current run saved at the start of Level 3. Really saved my skin a few times towards the end of 2.

I love this game. Done about 40 hours on it I think. 10+ successful runs. Did my first one with an 8 heat pact of punishment recently.

I just love that the challenge evolves from learning the combat into being about your choices. Make the wrong ones and your build won't sing and it'll be a slog. Nail the build and you feel like a god, slapping everything aside. It's so much fun.

Will gobble up any DLC that comes out. Yes please.
