Is it a game?

Watching this game, listening to this game, choosing the path through this game. All of these things are excellent. The "gameplay" of dispatching your hero team to help the public, well personally it does nothing for me. Could I watch this all day long? Absolutely Could I play it all day long? I'm not sure Is it still an excellent experience? Without doubt

Not a Clue

Good grief this game is amazing. The world is so very good. I could literally wander around it for a long time (while trying to avoid the gribblies of course). If not for everything wanting to kill me, I still would be doing so. The variety of locations, the design, the craftmanship (craftpersonship?) in the design of the world is second to none. It still terrifies me though. If it were a craft-em-up, then I would never leave my starter home. (Now I'm imagining how much fun an Elden Ring craft-em-up might be). Summary impressions time: The game gives me no help on its systems The game gives me no help on what I am supposed to do The game gives me no help on what I should or should not fight, so I am running away a lot The game gives me no help on how to level up The game gives me no help at all Despite all the negatives, I cannot stop trying to get better at this damn game

Not just more of the same

Hades was an excellent game that I was reasonable at. I have never finished it and never will. The sequel is in some ways more of the same, you start a run and get some way through it. You meet a foe or foes you cannot conquer and you die. You then spend as long as you possibly can talking to any and all of the wonderful NPCs in the game. What sets the sequel apart really is that they are even better than the first game. So, if you like a game with a wonderful art style, great voice acting and soundtrack, that is tough as nails - then this is the game for you. If you own Hades, then you already know this and have bought it anyway
