   I liked #Hades' gameplay a lot and thought its characters and designs were kinda cool. I was here for the gameplay, like i was for all of Supergiant's Games. they have a great feel for fast paced responsive isometric combat.

   Then my artist friend informed me that everyone else liked the game for its story and (hot? i guess?) characters and that the gameplay was secondary

   and i suddenly felt alienated from the game and the fanbase.

   I think I'm gonna skip #Hades2. Y'all have fun though.

     @NaClKnight That's one of the things that's surprised me, getting involved in a gaming community - there seems to a large minority connecting with a game a certain way, then everyone else in their own gaming world, completely independent of that.

     It reminds me of Pitchfork, when they were a big thing - my taste and their reviews were like 120 degrees out of alignment.

     To each their own, I guess?
