I have technically completed the main story, so I am going to go ahead and log it, but I don’t feel anywhere near being ready to put this down. As my first ‘roguelite’ game, I didn’t expect the mechanic of purposeful death to work so well for me. Each escape attempt, I felt like I not only learned something inside the story that drove me to keep trying, but also the rewards, both permanent and temporary, made every room I could push into feel worth it. It’s a game that also rewards many attempts with learning which Olympian boons you like, which work together, and what builds you can concoct with the boons you are given. This is how a game where essentially 4 levels and final boss fight can feel fresh over and over again. Each escape feels different with different weapons, aspects, mirror upgrades, and boons. One of my favorite games ever.
