This KILLS me. If you’re going to be an arsehole at least be an arsehole straight away so I can fix it!

Don’t get me wrong - I’m ENJOYING it - but it feels padded in ways Hades 1 never did. The currency system is bogging it down imo. There’s just too much here so it feels I’m at the whims of what I find, rather than focussing on builds

OI!
DS2 is the best sequel this year.

Wanted to give it a few days to see if it held out, but hit a nice little milestone on the channel recently 🙌 It's been a busy few weeks but glad to see people are vibing with the work

Between Yotei, Silksong, and Hades 2, it’s a big year for really great games that aren’t as good as their predecessor.

TOO MANY GOOD VIDEOS COMING OUT RIGHT NOW YOU ALL HAVE TO SLOW IT DOWN!!

(in all seriousness though, can't wait to watch this! Monty's Resident Evil videos are an absolute joy!)

RE7 is hungry. It bleeds inheritance, and blood, as they say, is thicker than water.

But does its weak final third tarnish its legacy? Or are they footnotes to a game that people claim “Saved Resident Evil?”

RE7's intro scared me so much that I had to sing Barbie Girl out loud to myself (lol)

Can't wait to watch Monty's video about the game's return to the franchise's horror roots 🩸

I wrote that before the critique! Wasn’t sure if it would be the opening of the video or a later chapter. So glad you liked it (and didn’t click off! 😂)

I lie awake at night and wonder if the last third is because they ran out of time or if they just didn’t realise how rushed it felt

Sam had a really specific vision when I reached out to her for these ones - they came off so cool!

Monty RE7 video is finally out!
Being able to to a stab are drawing pieces for the Baker family, and their creatures was so fun.
Like always pull up a seat and watch the video 😊😊

See I feel like I’m at a point where I should be figuring out builds but it feels like I’m just playing with whatever the currency system is letting me improve!

Her boss design is potentially the best in the series imo

It’s October so now is a great time to get into The Last Dinner Party. If you’re waiting for Florence and the Machine’s new album they’ll scratch that itch. Good shit.

Hades 2 is great but I’m not convinced the 1 million currencies was the way to go

Today I learned that Geoff Keighley was one of the cameos in the Muppets Haunted Mansion.

I’ve seen reviews comment on Hades 2’s plot as being a bit rubbish and edgy and maybe I’m just early game but is there some big revelation coming that changes the story of the game?

The game’s about killing Chronos while meeting cool Greek characters. I feel like I got what I paid for 🤷
