Hi everyone! Here is my video on Hades the Game. I was fascinated by the lore and decided to do a video on why the game is revolutionary in terms of discussing Greek mythology in a modern context.
Please be warned that there are spoilers in the video!

I am personally a big fan of both video games and Greek mythology so this game has peaked my interest for a while! This was a very fun video to watch, I was especially surprised to hear that the game has more dialogue than both Illiad and odyssey!! What I also really like about this game is that the character design of the characters is so different from what you normally see in adaptations of Greek mythology. Thanks for reminding me I have to try this game out soon, Grace! 🙂
