"I wish Supergiant would get the roguelite bug out of their system and make sequels to Bastion and then Transistor finally."

Was what I typed in our group chat. The three of us are mid to late 30s with me being the oldest by 3 months.

To say it went over like a brick balloon would be an understatement. So, I wanted to see if fellow game players had thoughts on it. Am I crazy? Do you agree?

To be honest, I think they only made a sequel to Hades because it was so popular. I actually quite like that they create new universes every game. I also like the core gameplay of Pyre (not so much the mini-games) unlike most people. It sort of feels like Ballmasterz turned into a super cereal game to me. It probably inspired the show, which ever came first.

I watched this video a while back. Apparently, they were looking to develop a universe that they could make a sequel in. They ended up with Hades.

I sadly have little interest in watching things about Hades as because I am so burnt out from asking for accessibility assistance (I actually think I did it multiple times in case they didn't catch it) and I am just frustrated with them as a whole and this post reignited it. But I am glad that they got what they wanted because Greek mythology is expansive. I think someone else will be happy about it. I just think I realized I feel relatively "done" with the company as a whole =/!
