I'll give this a proper review later but my brick wall is that the base enemies are wayyyyy too easy on easy but the bosses are so hard on hard. Major skill issue on my end but I'd love engaging smaller enemies without having to get hard locked on bosses. Again, skill issue for me. Also pairing this with:
- unskipable cutscenes
- dialogue that must be plodded through to progress
- no way to change difficulty mid-playthrough (I hope you enjoyed points 1 & 2)
Just feels like a pain to play though (which blows because the actual movement / gameplay is SO smooth).

Fun to finally get around to playing this. The anniversary edition was a great excuse. From my experiences with the Witness and JB as a person, I figured this would be a much harder game but I’m glad that it’s never too wildly obtuse in its puzzle design. I had a good enough time.
Much shorter than I was expecting, but that’s never a complaint from me. Too many games are massively over bloated and this isn’t one of them.
My only gripe is that the writing feels very puffy and completely disconnected from the gameplay. Not a huge issue but it really seems to want to seem important but gameplay is king here, no matter how many poems you try to paste on the screen between levels.

Was hoping for something more fresh than Hades 1.5 outside of a new way to collect materials. Well made but not my thing. Would love to see this studio make a new kind of game other than the same isometric 3D but 2D hack and slash they’ve made for years. They’re obviously super talented but they are firmly parked in their comfort corner.
