2020-10-02 10:04:41 +0000 UTCThe casts will become a lot more interesting to Laura and Conrad once you get the Mirror upgrade that your crystal automatically regenerates, i.e. you don't have to look for and pick them up. An insanely good combo is Dionysus cast with Demeter duo boon that turns his slow lob into an instant cast that also does cold damage. If you then combine it with Zeus so it also does lightning damage it becomes pretty much OP, especially if you have a lot of upgrades for the relevant elements (Lightning Damage creates a debuff + cold duo boon that makes the debuff last 10 seconds, chefkiss).

2020-10-02 08:15:38 +0000 UTCHades is absolutely brilliant - have been playing it on and off for several months now. From Zagreus' charismatic banter, to the face-melting OST, to the gorgeous stylised art. Teachers should seriously consider using it for Greek Mythology/The Classics lessons as the characters are so very engaging.

2020-10-02 03:45:54 +0000 UTCHades is the only title I've ever bought in Early Access (when it came to Steam late 2019), and it played like a finished game even then. Each major update in the past year has been like free DLC on top of what was already a full and polished experience.

2020-10-02 02:32:46 +0000 UTCBlind bought Hades on switch after the tongue bathing it got in this episode. Very interested. Between that and 13 Sentinals I have my next week cut out for me
