for context, i've beat Chronos thrice, and Typhon once. i'm really enjoying the gameplay, it's forced me to get out of my comfort zone and not button mash my heart out lol, but the story is leaving a lil to be desired.
in Hades 2's defense, the stakes are much higher. Melinoe's upbringing was way more serious and u can see that in how she speaks. yet i feel that she's quite passive in her fight...? i keep hoping she'll question the gods and how they treat one another, as well as the severity of their situation, or even more fiercely double down on her goals, but instead i find her to be... neutral? passive? her voice feels like it stays the same, not just tonally but literally too (not blaming the incredible VA for this, it's more of a writing/direction issue, i feel); i was hoping by now she'd express more doubt or annoyance or stress or anything different to what she's been doing so far. is it just me?
edit: oh and the boons! selene's boons <<<<<< hades 1 god boons. i only really like one of selene's boons, and unlike the rest of 2, where i had to learn to be flexible with how i play, i find them limiting playstyle-wise. i adored the variety 1 offered in that sense, even tho they weren't all that different from some of the regular abilities.
i wonder why they didn't make nyx's boons the final god boons too, she's more powerful than the rest of the house of hades, would make sense if she got away. since she had a better relationship with chaos by the end of 1, it'd make sense if chaos helped her. and nyx helping melinoe so much could play into the resentment her children have for both of them.
