Spoilers for Hades 2
Finally cleared going down without Death Defiance.
If you're craving a retro 2D adventure while you wait for Mina the Hollower's amazingness, might we recommend Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo? @pockettrap.bsky.social

Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me ๐Weโre just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. Itโs been a roaring success. For every โฌ1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got โฌ1.46 back. Canโt argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Reached a point in Hades 2 where I can clear going down pretty consistently, but the last two bosses going up still give me trouble.

It ties quite well to the differing narrative stakes.

Here's my vibe check from my time at Tokyo Game Show 2025, which was a complete 180 from the last time I attended the show, and just shows a Japan back at the absolute centre of the video games world.

Honestly, I've seen 90 minute films that felt longer.
Where my GOTY list stands based on things I've meaningfully played.
Games I imagine will infiltrate are Silent Hill f, Ghost of Yotei and Mina the Hollower.
๐งผ1 YEAR OF MOUTHWASHING!
