Took 44 runs but I finally beat hades in hades but I'm not sure if I'm confident in calling that "beating" hades itself?

I beat asterius and what's his face for the first time in hades, managed to get to hades himself And down to 20% but I totally lost my cool after he had like 6 of his stupid bombs out at once and kept dashing into the same ring that Just hit me for my only revive I had left going in 😭😭😭

+1 game beaten in 2025:cod Black ops 7.
It's bad. Like I'm shocked. For me I think it is easily the worst COD campaign maybe ever? Ghosts was divisive but blops7 has horrendous pacing,-

+1 game beaten in 2025: Bounty star. I both liked and was disappointed in pretty equal measure. I enjoyed Clems journey clawing your way out of an earned depressive hole but there are a number of things in the game mechanically that seemingly do not work at all, are not explained or underperform

+1 game beaten in 2025: Ghost of yotei. in the end I'm left feeling a bit conflicted, I loved the cast and characters, exploring the world but the combat especially later into the game just feels really bad. the general motion of the game also doesn't feel great-

+1 game beaten in 2025: Pokemon Legends ZA.
Overall I was def soured, the pacing is glacial and nothing really important to the narrative actually happens until the final 5 hours of the story? I still feel like the combat is regression in tactical play.

At this point if I was reviewing ZA I'd be hovering around a 5-6.
I think there's some cool stuff primarily the night time battle zones are something the games have needed for a long time.
Pacing in particular is a huge pain point for me with the rotation of mega outbreak go rank up repeat.

+1 game beaten in 2025: Battlefield 6. It was fine? Like it's mechanically competent because battlefield is mechanically competent but the story, level structure are in general kinda bland to bad? Also it's weird to get a *aaa* shooter in 2025 where the character models aren't very good.

+1 game beaten in 2025: Hollow Knight Silksong. Incredible visual and audio design fantastic world building wrapped in a package that felt like the team was so deep in the trenches they couldn't see that people touching the world for the first time werent also missing half their teeth and a finger.

Finally over the finish line, tossed the controller to my gf for 2 bosses that I had been chipping away at for over an hour each and she had fought each for 4-5 hrs.
I genuinely love the narrative and environments characters, but to me silksong goes too far in the difficulty curve in ways that

I somehow missed literally the only thing to actually get act 3 so have now beaten GMS 3 times 🤣. I'm gonna save my +1 mini review for "finishing" the rest but I'm technically two endings deep rn

So the boss in Bilewater is one of two bosses as I'm very deep in act two of Skong that I've managed to first try. I still thing the area itself is suffering but doing most of the challenging parts of Bilewater with the charm that makes it tolerable to exist makes a huge difference I think.

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

I should start tracking deaths in silksong, I'm confident I got mercd by the good boy easily 10 times and am currently getting my shit pushed in by an angry tree. Seriously way way too many enemies hit you for 2-3 masks at time and the iframes for getting hit are literally 0.
Yes I'm medium salty.

+1 game beaten in 2025: Wuchang Fallen feathers. Gut leans towards a 7 really good elements here but man there's some real bullshit in the latter half of the game that I really didn't jive with.

Packing the industry worst headrest on a $3000 chair is insane. I had the black Xbox chair for 2 hours before I packed it back up for shoddy build quality and the actual worst headrest I've ever had on a chair. Yes it is worse than *not* having a headrest.
