1. Before the release of Hades, I had never heard of Supergiant games. This video has definitely encouraged to go and explore their catalogue.

2. What kinda fascinates about Transistor is how many themes and ideas it shares with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Yes, the two games are radically different, but the main characters are surprisingly alike. In both, the player gets insights into the characters and their mental state that a person living in the world would not be able to see. Both are tied to the themes of losing a lover. Furthermore, losing a lover that sends you on a life-changing quest. Even more, both lovers talk to the main character from beyond death. Of course, both games have radically different tones, but I find the parallels very interesting!

3. I can't really speak on the topic of the games since I have not played any of them, but I want to say that I welcome the more engaging and creative style of editing which includes more jokes and such. 🙂

5. You put in a lot of effort into your content and you're very well spoken. Don't let your low view count get you down.

6. Very well thought out, this just shows how much effort and passion is put into indie games. A brilliant analysis on games that are easily overlooked. Thank you Green Ornstein for convincing me to play these (after months of friendly demanding) XD

7. Brilliant video. I’ve always wanted to play Bastion and I should probably play now that I’ve watched this video! I felt the overall use of animation and voiceovers were very good as well as your other videos. This is easily one of your funniest videos so far. I was also highly impressed by your research especially because you referenced your sources within the video itself which must have been very challenging given the wide reaching nature of the retrospective! Keep making more content as you are producing outstanding work so far!

9. Well if Darren Korb did not knock your socks off with Hades's soundtrack like he did with the three previous games then he definitely did something to your loins with his voice because believe it or not he voices Zagreus (and Skelly) in Hades.

   I personally love all the SPG soundtrack including Hades's but yeah when you're frantically trying dodge and survive, I don't think the music can be enjoyed to its fullest. If you listen to it outside of the game, it is a banger.

10. One thing I keep seeing people miss in regards to Pyre is that the reason you're given the ranking ledger is so you can alter who you will face in the next liberation rite. Which understandably, not everyone would care since they'd likely just want to win, but if you really felt like one of the opposing captains should be allowed to ascend, you can throw matches against them or beat the teams above them in order to give them the opportunity. Or if one of the captains you hate is within getting close to liberation you can knock them out before they get the chance to compete.

    Other than that complaint, this was a great video! Very informative and a good sense of humour! I've been going through your channel and you've definitely got a new subscriber!

11. it's actually not impossible to defeat Hades in one run from a fresh file. I think it's a speedrunning catagory. Do give them a watch, they're awesome to look at!

    edit also, great video, you're doing fantastic work 😀

12. This was a very well-written, well-expressed essay for these games! I've loved Bastion in my 2 playthroughs, and am hyped to play the next games after it.
