I dont like roguelikes, should I still play it? Guide me papitos

I'd say give it a shot. If it's not for you, then you know to never be tempted by a roguelike again.

I did this with Hades. And while I recognize it's incredibly well made and all made sense, I just don't like roguelikes. So, I hope the hades 2 crowd loves it. I'll cheer them on from a far

So only Zelda games have reviewed higher? LOL

Hades II is starting to look like a front runner for GotY.

Not when Expedition 33 exists.

You guys have got to stop this mentality of that game being above a challenge. It's not. It's a great game, but not entitled to an automatic victory. I'll likely win, but give some other games a chance. That way, if something else does win, you guys won't fall into some weird depression if that happens.

Also, there's no reason games like H2 or Silk Song can't win simply because they're indie.

I really like this game but the hyperbolic surrounding it is fucking crazy.

I beat E33. Yeah, Hades II most definitely id as good, if not better than E33.

Hades II came out after E33, and is still reviewing higher.

Am I the only one that thought the first one was just, okay?

The Hades games hit the sweet spot of appealing to a wide audience perfectly. They have skill elements but also you can just grind and make progress.

I don't think it is hyperbolic to suggest that E33 is the frontrunner in the GOTY race by a pretty good margin.

Barely. 93 vs 94. Not that it really makes a difference when it comes to GOTY.

And then leave your family to play Megabonk anyway

Well E33 is a new IP and is a fresh take on RPG's while Silksong and Hades 2 (while both good) are still more of the same. E33 wins easily. The former two may be too hard for the casual crowd and many voters for GOTY
