#having a biggest bitch in the achaean army (affectionate) die and eventually gain the energy of a depressed middle aged father is INSPIRED

[pygmy--tyrant]

I am not and have never been a gamer but the more I hear about hades the more it sounds like it was created just to try and tempt me into the gaming world. everything I could have wanted from a game right down to the apparently well researched mythology is there. unfortunately my non-gamer identity is more than just a choice and I am genuinely just shit at it from zero practice otherwise I would have probably bought it by now

#like it has everything to tempt me. afore mentioned accurate mythology. set in the underworld (goth). #character designs for all the mythological figures make sense and also absolutely fuck. the whole game looks visually very nice. ghosts. #the main character is even bisexual. #also as soon as I saw the achilles has basically been written as having undergone significant character development since dying #I was INTERESTED #having a biggest bitch in the achaean army (affectionate) die and eventually gain the energy of a depressed middle aged father is INSPIRED #and I (<- person with thinks far too much about the iliad disease) am always here for interesting takes on achilles #especially if they're also funny #only disappointment is that he isn't ranga 😔 the era of exclusively blonde achilles needs to end. acknowledge his canonical red hair #y'all say you love to see a ranga losing but won't let this iconic ranga lose his war prize his boyfriend his temper and his life. smh #ANYWAY. the design of orpheus in hades is also funky as hell #I was expecting something more along the lines of hadestown orpheus so to see robert smith instead was a very fun surprise #sapphire's random thoughts #hades game
