Revisited Hades a year after finishing it and I was so surprised that there's still so much to do. One would think that the repetitiveness of the game would be boring after some time but nope. I find myself wanting to go again and again. GOTY 2023 🙌🏾 https://t.co/CdlVqg92ES pic.twitter.com/uC6UwF078R
