now taking a break of talking about my little man to actually address the game: it looks pretty amazing so far. melinoë plays much differently from zagreus, which was a welcome change - it feels fresh and new instead of just a rehash.

the new characters are really good too. with all due respect, i'm finding melinoë more compelling than zagreus as a protagonist. she has a lot more pressure on her shoulders and is still quite naive about the world and her circumstances. she's more serious and subdued and has a lot of space to grow in the game as she learns, i think.

but i think the most interesting part of it so far is that from some of the dialogues i've seen, the war against chronos may not be as black and white as it first appears. chronos will still probably be a douchebag but they're also putting a lot of time in showing us that, to the mortals, the gods might be worse than he is.

some mortals are siding with him to bring back a 'golden age', a time which aphrodite described being boring because 'nothing happened' (meaning, it was a lot more peaceful). nemesis also straight up states that mortals had it better when chronos ruled compared to now, and appears conflicted over that, saying that maybe what happened to them was their long overdue comeuppance.

and there is, of course, arachne, who is the most vocal about mistrusting the gods ever since she was cursed by athena, and who unlike sisyphus, orpheus, achilles and dusa, who were all punished by gods but gracefully resigned to their roles and accepted their fates to the best of their abilities until zagreus intervened, arachne hates what was done to her and suffers because of it even now. she remains a friend to melinoë, but her discomfort with how she's being aided by the olympians does not go away, at least for now.

aside from all of that, hecate and odysseus are plotting something that involves 'attacking olympus', which seems to disturb melinoë until hecate corrects herself to say 'attack, defend... all the same'. so really, i'm curious to see where they're taking all of this.

#hades 2 #hades game #also i've been talking a lot about hypnos because he's my favorite little guy since the first game but everyone was mean to him there :/ #so i'm glad he's getting that nice treatment on the second one. so far 😐

so here's a pack of all hypnos-related scenes i've seen so far that caught my attention

Someone has probably already pointed it out, but I absolutely love the detail of how Hades is touching Persephone, but his other hand, the one next to Zagreus is just kind of there, not entirely making contact. It shows really well that even though their relationship and things between them are better they're still not perfect (and probably never will be)

hey, y'all. this month has been pretty rough for me financially, with a bunch of unexpected bills i had to pay and even having to deal with taking in another pet and the expenses that ensued. i asked for help with that before and got it, for which i am very grateful as i could not have taken her to the vet without it, but now i'm having to deal with food and medicine expenses that i ended up putting off because of that and that i have no way to handle right now.

so i ask, if you're able to help me out, to please consider donating to my ko-fi account! or if not, just sharing this post would be a huge help. thank you!! 💗💞💗💞

I do hope they don’t make Hypnos 100% comedic relief though because they really did him dirty writing-wise in 1 (with the ableism and underutilization of him and stuff), and making him more narratively important here would almost make up for that, y’know? Versus just making him entirely for the sake of comedy would just reduce him and what they did with him down to the level of a joke again, which would suck imo

Not to say that he can’t be funny (how could he not it’s Hypnos), it’s just, I hope they do respect him as a character this time :(

yeah, i'm with you on this. i do want him to be silly, obviously, but i hope he doesn't get the treatment of a joke character, not just because i like him but because that would be very unimaginative. i hope that something like what happened to skelly/schelemeus happens to him, where he gets to have a different 'serious' role but still be funny about it

here's the scene i've mentioned before where nemesis and melinoë talk about hypnos, for those who wanted to see it!

#hades 2 #hades game #had to comb through my recording of my playthrough to get it. but it's worth it #there's another scene where nemesis says melinoë shouldn't talk to him because he's not listening #to which she replies that hypnos for sure must have been sensing her thoughts and emotions even in sleep #and nemesis is like oh yeah. getting a feel for other people's thoughts and emotions is sooo hypnos. lol. lmao even #i can't wait for the reveal i want to see how melinoë will react #i might make a compilation of hypnos related scenes for those of you who are also weirdly into the little guy like i am
