    Hades.

    Avoiding spoilers, the game just keeps unfolding out additional gameplay content and story long past what originally appeared like it was going to be the end.

    There’s definitely some slow parts in terms of progression though, as the resource costs for some of the permanent stat upgrades and house contractor stuff are just expensive enough to be annoying. Like, do you want to have fun this run or do you want to pray to RNGesus that you get the resource multiplier boons and hit a brick wall later when you haven’t gotten enough combat boosting boons? Otherwise enjoy doing multiple runs to unlock one single thing that may or may not be purely cosmetic.

    The gameplay carries it through any rough spots though, along with the drip fed stories of the different characters that progress each time you lose a run.

    Overall a wonderful game.

      RNGesus

      I think you mean HeRNGmes

      But yeah Hades is a good game. Got it in the latest Steam Summer Sale. it’s my current couch / big screen Deck game.

      My current desktop game is still Just Cause 2.

        I very impatiently snagged Hades 2, after my 100 run Hades streak. It’s INCREDIBLE. I beat it a few times and now I’m waiting until full release to do it again.
