Okay, so here’s the thing — I stumbled upon this wild update in Hades 2. You’d think after a year in early access, they’d just stick to the game plan, right? Nope. They were juggling placeholder art like green-hooded generic figures for gods. You know, cause why not spice things up with mystery? But yeah, big Tuesday rolls in, and bam! Narcissus finally shows his face. Supergiant didn’t hold back, let me tell you.
So, these folks at Supergiant, they’ve got this thing for Greek mythology’s spicy side. Like, they’re not about to tell a story about Zeus knitting sweaters. It’s all chaos and, you know… mythological shenanigans. Zeus, that guy? Yikes, his stories alone could fill a tabloid.
The original game? Oh man, it had these sultry voice vibes. Actors whispering sweet nothings in your ear, almost like tracing their voice when they speak. It’s that immersive. And don’t even get me started on the music! That Turkish lute? It’s like being front row at an epic myth concert where the gods argue over, um, questionable decisions. You might even forget it’s a combat game. Romance? Everywhere!
And with Hades 2, it’s like they thought, “Why not?” Players can take gods on dates now. There’s this bathhouse scene, and Dionysus is barely wearing anything but a thong. Now, Narcissus is here, and he’s… a twink? Yeah, I said it. It’s bold and sort of unexpected.
Saw a post where someone was like, “If I looked like Narcissus, I’d be obsessed with my reflection too.” Me too, pal. Me too. And they didn’t just change Narcissus — Prometheus looks like he’s been through the wringer. Blood from the mouth, seriously! It’s like fan art has no choice but to get wild with this stuff.
Honestly, part of me will miss the mystery of that faceless art. I mean, imagine the beauty so striking we can’t even look? Perfectly enigmatic. But now, we’ve got this visual to debate over. What an odd, beautiful journey.
