"Barry: I am actively choosing not to check how many hours I've put into this game, out of a certainty that the answer would make me respect myself less as a person. Needless to say, my obsession burned brightly and quickly-this is that rare game that wormed itself so deeply into my brain that I think about it when I'm not playing it."
"Luis: I hate it. OK, I don't hate it, but I am so freaking bad at it still, a problem I had with Hades the original, and unfortunately I am too much of a gaming sicko to truly enjoy a game I stink at. That being said, I do think Hades as a mini-genre in and of itself works very well as a game type for me."
Kathryn opens by thanking participants for joining and notes the game has been available nearly a month. Three players describe distinct relationships with Hades II. Barry reports intense obsession, avoids tracking playtime, thinks about the game outside of sessions, and has rolled credits while acknowledging further unlocks remain. Luis admits persistent difficulty, enjoys short pick-up-and-play sessions and build variability, is frustrated by poor boon draws, logs about 9.7 hours since release plus early access, has not beaten the final boss, and has not explored the Surface.
