And really, by nailing the sense of progression with a style that hearkens back to the bullet-hell days of arcade games, while still feeling fresh and new, makes it the sort of game you won't want to put down.

The myriad GOTYs that will permeate the online games reporting landscape at the end of the year now have at least a handful to pick from, and while it's hard to declare the winer this early yet, we have one absolute contender in locked-in calculations -- Hades II.

Our in-depth South of Midnight review. A game with a fantastic setting and a wonderful aesthetic built off the mythology of the "Deep South", but a game that also doesn't fully capitalise on, or even wholly realise, what it has in its makeup and thus falls a tad short of what it could have been...
