I loved this game at multiple times, but I in no good conscious could ever recommend it to another human being.

Bungie's provable business model has been "Make games fast, not good" for a long time now which the lead designer of this game touted proudly at GDC.

This has resulted in an every-present decay of any quality that was put into the game for years. I finally decided to uninstall it this week because I got on to do the newest dungeon with my friends and after wiping because the mechanics just decided they were not going to work they decided they would abuse a bug to just kill the boss without doing it.

BOTH things that shouldn't exit. Both things that do because we make games fast, not good.

I would like the preface this by saying I'm in the east US and had absolutely no issues with the US east server, I am sorry to all the people who experienced server issues in the east pacific. I feel like I should highlight that, as it is something that severely negatively would impact the game play of those people.

This game feels amazing, it is very early and sorely lacking any kind of real content at this time, however it just feels like Paragon. This is a game that me and a friend have severely missed for the time that it was gone and we didn't really expect anything to come of it but this is great to see. One of the first things that players of the original paragon might notice is that the UI is extremely responsive compared to the original paragon. The originals UI felt bloated and slow to respond. Everything is simple and snappy.

The card system has been abolished for a much easier to understand item system. I don't think I've begun to scratch the surface of the depth to it but many items remind me of old things from Smite or League so I hope to pick it up quickly.
I experienced little to no frame drops or latency in even the most intense team fights. For the first day of an early access this was a very smooth play experience. Just know going into this purchase you are purchasing the idea of a game, there is PVP and that is it. Any and all systems you are used to with the exception of a practice arena aren't here yet. I have nothing but hope for the future though and I look forward to seeing where this game continues to go.

I went into Hades expecting another roguelite, I wasn't wrong but what I also got was this amazing continuity between runs, amazing character portrayals for all of your companions and one of the most fun games I've played in years. Not only would I recommend this to other people, I'll still be playing it for some time after this.

I'm very bad at roguelites/roguelikes I waste numerous amounts of time, I still love them and moonlighter is great with a very fun concept. Would recommend.

A great game that just keeps getting better, My only problem with it is that I wish I had a lot more hours to spend. Can't wait on more updates!
