  8. really liked this had it on my watch later list for a while since I didn't have the time to watch it but after playing Hades again after a long time not playing (I am at the 40 hours mark now and enabled the god mode since I am always getting to Hades but never defeat him) I decided I could watch this before bed.

    Also your 400 Hours of Hades video will take this videos spot in my watch later list to hopefully watch it in the morning.

  10. It's just a near perfect game
    Amazing fleshed out characters
    Great design/art style
    Incredible replayability/death loop
    Top-notch VA

    I really hope Supergiant makes a Hades 2, but idk how that'll work
