Hello!

What have you been playing?

Batman has his back to us in this shot from the Arkham Trilogy

I’d forgotten how alluring it can be.

  • that I’ve never seen in the series before.

Don’t be fooled, there’s a challenge here, but there’s also so much more besides.

Kingdom, I’ve missed you.

Hades 2, PC

PlayingHades 2has reminded me ofZelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

But I was wrong.

I think Hades 2 could do the same.

‘Oh it’s just more Hades,’ I thought when I first booted up the sequel.

The same visual style, the same structure and gameplay loop - it was all too familiar.

Much of that comes down to new protagonist Melinoe.

And with this being early access, there’s plenty more to come.

I can’t wait to see where this run into the underworld takes us.

The build-up to your first face-off with the Scarecrow was top tier.

The Scarecrow level didn’t disappoint, either.

It was equal parts terrifying and thrilling.
