Hades Redux
Jan. 2nd, 2021 08:05 amHades grew on me.
What happened is that I spent exactly 81 hours and 23 minutes getting 100% in Age of Calamity before forcing myself to stop playing. I know there’s going to be DLC, and I don’t want Age of Calamity to turn into another Animal Crossing, which I played for so long that I kind of hate it now.
I got hooked on the flashy action gameplay and feedback cycle of steady improvement through grinding, though, so I decided to pick Hades up again.
Once I realized that I don’t actually have to make progress in the game to, you know, make progress in the game, I started to enjoy it more. I also accepted the fact that Hades isn’t something I’ll be able to finish in less than ten hours, so I guess I’m in it for the long haul.
