I don't get the hype. I tried the first one and uninstalled it after five minutes. Even Power Washing Simulator was more interesting than this.

I'm a pretty big games and this style of games is one of the few I just cannot get into. I tried this and Returnal and both are just too repetitive. i'll put in time to beat bosses i don't want to run the game over every 20 minutes to an hour.

I get that. Not a fan of Rogue-likes for the same reason. I want to play a game for any period of time I might have, not commit to a 90 minute play session.
I like that they have the "God Mode" that makes it progressively more easy if you struggle. Returnal was completely inaccessible to me, but this one is playable. I bought it so my son can play it in college on his Switch, but I'll give it a try on my Switch 2 as well.

Had one of those $10 Best Buy certs that they give out occasionally to I guess get you to start shopping there again and couldn't think of anything to spend it on so used it on a digital copy of the Switch 2 version.

Been playing this off and on since launch. Finally got Chronos down last night. I still haven't been able to beat Typhon going north. Only reached his fight once so far.

Yeah. I really don't appreciate what they require to actually see the game ending. Gotta kill Typhon 5 total times and Chronos 7 or 8. I'm not sure I'll even see it. I got Typhon down once and I'm losing interest in continuing the grind.

Didn't realize I didn't come back to this thread. I did end up fully beating it. Bosses ended up going down fairly quickly after I got their patterns down, along with the crazy buffs you can stack up. Super fun game.

Done around 12 runs so far and have made it to the 3rd boss and gotten him close to defeat. I loved the original and this is definitely a solid follow up. The voice acting like in most Supergiant games is top notch.

I started this yesterday and I think I've done about 16 runs. I'm really enjoying it, but man that 2nd boss gave me fits for a long time. I don't really care for the changes to the dash. It seems significantly weaker than the previous game, but it looks like that was by design so you can't spam it all the time.

I beat the third boss this morning with only one health left... That was a close one. Couldn't do much in the next level do to that though.
