achilles eventually tells you about the hidden aspect of the spear and then you start unlocking the rest. you may have to spend blood on the spear also, since you have to spend like 4 or 5 to get the other aspects after tthe spear

The gun hidden aspect kind of sucks rear end. It's so slow and god help you with armored skulls in tartarus. I can't imagine elysium with that thing. I hope there's some epic hammer upgrades for it or something cos it desperately needs it

I hate the gun with my life. I know it has the cool rocket launcher upgrade and stuff but nothing will make me enjoy using it. That and the spear are the two weapons I just don't like using, though the aspect of Hades is kool

the big things that it constantly hits so if you get demeter dionysus or zeus you can just crap out status effects. i got my win with it with demeter and the 10 chill explode effect along with the dionysus cast. also you don't have to detonate the orbs and you can usually lay out five or six before they blow up, they emit a damage blast every second or so and that can really add up quickly, especially if you get a good special boon

I won with dionysus attack and demeter special but it never felt good to play. Attack wind-up is way too slow. Ammo is also way too low imo, especially after I've gotten used to the max ammo perk on the regular gun.

The bow hidden aspect kicks rear end, it's like a full upgrade from the original

There’s one I got that just gives it infinite ammo that never needs to be reloaded, but I think shooting the hellfire spheres is the kind of thing that works better on PC because the switch’s auto-aim kept locking to enemies

The rocket aiming is fine imo, you can hold the button to movie the reticle around. The main atk just takes half a second too long to wind up and it sucks. I looked it up and there is a hammer upgrade that makes it faster so at least there's that

[Risk of Rain 2] Got to the 2nd form of the final boss before being nuked by an AOE I didn't see at all. Might be I'm just not used to the game yet, I haven't played much of it at all, but the telegraphs seem really hosed up. I can't tell if it's an enemy AOE about to rip my cheeks apart or one of my own items activating.

i was playing a lot of risk of rain 2 for a while and i was enjoying it well enough but i got really annoyed by the final boss and all the bullet sponge enemies in the last couple parts of the game. it never really gave me the satisfying feeling you get in like hades or isaac where you can get a ton of cool stuff that synergizes well and lets you pull off some insane poo poo since all the upgrades are things like +1% chance to get an hp orb or whatever. i dont want to be too down on it, its a solid game, but i wish there were some more interesting upgrades and stuff to really make each run unique

Commando also just really sucks to play without the unlockable alt-load out shotgun. Honestly all the character unlocks feel like they require just a little too much skill or luck considering how much more drastically interesting they make the game. I got em legit but if anyone's burning out on the game I wouldn't judge if you cheated to get them, everything gets way more interesting with the other skills/characters

Hades is so so so good I played like 60 hours since it came to switch

I didn’t try hidden gun yet I just unlocked it. I’m kinda bored with the other gun aspects so I hope I like it

It’s really cool how every other weapon I have 2 or 3 aspects I actually like playing and I rotate between them and then when I get bored of those I can still try out the guan yu spear and lose my win streak

If you don't mind dash-attacking all the time, the spear is alright: the triple-attack hammer for dash-attacking is one of the strongest things I ran into.

You should use the Athena keepsake and prioritize getting deflect on dash. If you haven’t already. It makes everything so much easier.
