Hades

The narrative justification for the continued rougelite run structure gets strained after the main story end and becomes even more so following the epilogue, which as Jay says takes quite a grind to get to. While I was very invested in seeing through all of the individual character stories it definitely gets into diminishing returns once your past the main story ending in terms of what is left to motivate future runs, but that's kind of to be expected right?

Aye, it's not like getting to the credits for the average player is an insignificant amount of hours either.

I bought this the other day because it's a critical darling and lots of you loved it and it was 30% off, despite being a little skeptical as I found Bastion and Transistor to be fine, but not amazing... and Hades is a lot more fun! It's really easy to get sucked into it. I think I might end up turning God Mode on though because I think it cooould get slightly too repetitive and grindy. I'm already a bit bored of fighting Meg.

I wouldn't worry about being bored about fighting Meg. The game does a great job of changing things up as you progress. I'd say you'd potentially lose something by not experiencing how death changes things up but having just Googled God Mode and seen that it's not an invulnerability mode but just an easier mode, I'd say there's nothing to lose by going for that!

Woop Woop, frickin love this game. God mode is totes cool to use, its what my partner played on when she went through it. Makes things easier without detracting from a lot of the core mechanics so if thats how you feel then go for it.

It's been such a long time since I played this that I might even wack this on god mode to finish off my full credits run.

I think God Mode might help me progress quicker because I'm not a Gaming Legend by any means, and I want to dedicate some time to other games while also keeping Hades going!

I bought it on PS5 for a second playthrough and once I've managed my first escape I fully intend to turn on God Mode as I've seen the credits on Switch so that's fair right? I managed to escape on my 12th attempt last time around so I've got around 3 more attempts to try and beat my record having made it to the final boss last attempt.
