PS5: 2160p / 60FPS
Series X: 2160p / 60FPS
Series S: 2160p / 60FPS
Switch: 720p / 60FPS

- It was to be expected that all versions used very similar settings.
- The Switch version is more recommended in portable mode. Provides a cleaner image on a small screen.
- Series S, Series X and PS5 are identical versions. The only differences are in loading times (slightly faster on Xbox) and a bit more stuttering on PS5.
- This game must be played, no matter the platform, but play it.

Good to hear it, mate.

Currently on my best streak at the moment, 8 clears on the bounce.

I've started the PoP and finally maxed out a few Olympian relationships. I've also managed clears with the first three aspects of each weapon.

Looking forward to seeing the story progress.

This game is amazing but the fact that Hades has a double energy baris strawberry floating bullshit. Finished his first one and was celebrating.

Think I'm done with this now.

My streak of 26 escapes came to an end last night, but more importantly:

-The story is finally progressing I'm now delivering invitations to the Gods
-I knocked seven minor prophecies off the list
-I unlocked several heart gauges at long last

:lol: No, you're not. You'll come back, you'll manage your health, consumables and whatever else better in future fights against him and you'll eventually win, and that 2nd health bar won't even get a second thought. I mean, it's not the first time the game's totally unfair on you and you still managed to get to him. Calm down a bit and then give it another shot.

I'd convinced myself I was done but yeah you're probably right :lol:

Gonna get into Psychonauts for a bit then will see if I have a desire to play Hades again.

Are you playing with God Mode on? I found that a good way to break the back of it and get a few complete runs in, unlock some plot points and some house contractor currency to make future runs a little easier.

Is there anything more to play for in terms of story after fulfilling the Family Reunion prophecy?

I'd thought that was a mode that made you completely invincible. Will maybe give that a shot next time.

That's pretty much the end of it story-wise, unless you have individual character stories unfinished. Off the top of my head have you brought Nyx and Chaos together, "romanced" Meg, Than and Dusa, and altered the pacts for Achilles, Orpheus and Sisyphus?

Gameplay challenges left have you beaten extreme measures Hades or done a 32 heat clear for the statue unlock by Skelly?

Congrats on getting to the family reunion though, I imagine most people don't as it is quite a long slog after the main story ending!

I've not beaten any of Skelly's heat challenges or extreme measures Hades.

I still need to reunite Achilles and Patroclus. Other than that I've done the story stuff it seems. I am looking to max out all the heart gauges as a personal point of completion and there's a couple of prophecies left that I want to do.

Yet to get to the end of Tartarus or whatever it’s called. Not sure what to do other than button bash Y and X with some dashes occasionally.

Fun though
