Something's missing

I did not had the chance to play anything during November, as I got a new job and spent a lot of time doing transitions, not just with the job but I took it as an opportunity to turn my life around, now that I spend all the day at home with a remote job I want to use that saved time to get into my real passion and try to eventually make something significant out from it, which is Art, writting, drawing, music, cinema.... That's the passion I am looking for.

I have played several rouge-like/lite and yet Hades shines aboves most of them, the concepts of rouge games are MOSTLY well implemented but I do admit that the biggest mechanic fells odd which are the power ups you get every playthrough to the point that only a handful felt useful in my perspective. I don't really have any other complain about it appart that I have not played it enough.

Achievements:

Will 100% eventually, I expect some level of grinding but it doesn't seem that much compared to other rouge games

It was nominated to Game of the Year for a reason, this game lacks story, the gameplay is almost the same every playthrough, heck even the developer expected nothing from this game and yet here is one of the most addictive and simple yet complex rouge-like I've ever played. The only thing I have against is the spike of difficulty between some levels which forces you to have a broken build or you cannot progress.

Achievements:

Way too much grinding, which I love but not expecting to 100% this anytime soon

January game plans:

Horizon Zero Dawn - Silent Hill 2 - Megapolis - Book of Demons
