We have emerged from the depths of the BioShock sequence to start a contemporary season of Video Gameography! We’re doing issues otherwise this time as we’re discussing the gameography of a developer relatively than protecting a person sport sequence. That studio is Supergiant Video games, the acclaimed indie developer of Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades. This week, we conclude our season by analyzing 2020’s Hades. 

Not like Supergiant Video games’ earlier titles, Hades had two launch dates. Its first launch got here on December 6, 2018 when it launched in early entry on PC, whereas the total sport was obtainable to be performed on September 17, 2020. Hades takes the whole lot the studio has discovered up thus far and blends them into an formidable rogue-lite that is developed in a approach the crew has by no means skilled earlier than: with the gaming public enjoying the sport because it’s being made. Try this episode to be taught the backstory of how Pyre’s massive forged of characters impressed the evolving narrative of Zagreus and his dysfunctional diety household, how the studio fared growing an early entry sport, and be taught all about Greek mythology from our visitor, the incomparable Jill Grodt.
