Played about 5 hours tonight and I’m loving it. I wasn’t sure how much content to expect for early access but this is more than I would have guessed. The combat feels really really good. Charging your abilities with mana starts to feel better once you build up some regen on it and you can use it more freely. It took me a minute to nail how to aim the long charged special but now it’s one of my faves to spam.

A few little surprises have happened that made me grin really big as a big Hades 1 fan as well. I did not play EA last time around but I decided this time I want to be a part of that experience and see how the game evolves.

Yes, so much this! We played 4 player goldeneye on screens the size of a postage stamp for goodness sake.

Oh nice. I loved Control, so this is comforting to see!

Now that is a level of spite I can get behind.

Looks pretty awful to me. Wild casting choices. I like Jack Black but he doesn’t read right as Claptrap to me at all. Roland is a gruff tough guy, not whatever Hart is going to do here. And Tina here comes off as a scared child instead of the absolute firebrand she ought to be.

I am actually very excited for this! It came as such a surprise when it was first announced, I almost couldn’t believe it.

I thought Tax Evasion was an absolute delight. Yeah it’s short and silly, but it made me laugh a lot and that’s all I was really hoping for. Hoping for more of the same from the next one.

I’ve used IBM Plex Mono for a long time. Currently giving github’s new Monaspace a try.

Same jeez this headline scared me!
