Introduction
Yeah, I know this isn't my weekly thread and thread hijacking will not be tolerated but who cares. Before you ask where @loli_esports is he has recently posted a picture of Frieren with a white monster and the caption "alcoholic anime girl save me save me alcoholic anime girl" so he's doing great. The threads will be now under new management with less fun but more autism I hope you'll love it
I'm planning on dropping them each Sunday at 4-6pm CET but if someone in a more popular (=better) time zone wants to do it feel free to just do it lol.
So, what are you playing currently? !g*mers

Furthermore, I'll randomly pick a popular game and let drama users rank it and discuss it in the pinned comment. I think this is a good idea and if you disagree I'll be sad.
This week's entry will be HADES
A rogue-lite hack and slash dungeon crawler in which Zagreus, son of Hades the Greek god of the dead, attempts to escape his home and his oppressive father by fighting the souls of the dead through the various layers of the ever-shifting underworld, while getting to know and forging relationships with its inhabitants.

The surveys for my master's thesis had this same problem. First I was happy to get so many responses so easily, until I realized that the reliability of the responses was trash. I took the data anyway because I was already desperate and on sick leave to get an extension (otherwise I wouldn't have used rdrama for scientific work) but for the next time I'll know how to do it.
Basically, dramatards only press
because they press every button presented to them.

I don't really play roguelikes, so I had a lot of fun with this game for like 40 hours. I didn't 100% it, but I beat it enough to finish most of the character scenes.
I have friends who are way more into the genre and they were less impressed with the gameplay but still enjoyed it in general.

Personally I didn't really care for it. But I don't like roguelites in general so my opinion on any game in the genre doesn't count for much. Giving it a 3 because I just want to see the votes otherwise I wouldn't rate it.

I beat the final boss like 3 times. I very rarely enjoy reconsuming any form of media and roguelites are absolutely not for me because that's what the gameplay loop basically is.
At least I managed to "finish" it unlike Enter the Gungeon which is impossible.

Idk what this type of game is called. Roguelite?
Where it's like there's a starting area then you go into a randomized dungeon.
Hades is like this and Cult of the Lamb is like this.
I hate this kind of game. I think people should stop making them. It's not interesting and it feels lazy.
This is like new trend. Card shit has gotten big and RNG shit has gotten big. I hate both.
That's my opinion.

This genre allows indie devs to create ok/good games relatively cheaply. Cards games are trash, but complaining about RNG just means you have to get good.

nah, it's not about how hard it is. i was good at cult of the lamb
the random dungeon grid shit just felt lazy. I put a pretty good chunk of hours into it to give it a fair shake, just didn't like it.

don't know this specific game. All my favorite games have a big RNG component, but of course it's possible to do it badly.

Cult of the Lamb actually just drops the rogue part entirely. You are supposed to complete the dungeons and when you do you move on to the next.

Hades is the first Supergiant game that is able to hold my interest for awhile by being really fun to play. Also the soundtrack is awesome:
