So sad that this is the last we'll hear from Patrick...a wonderfully talented person who was taken from us much too soon. My condolences to Patrick's family and everyone on the TWIV/Skill Up team.

Great read. Totally aligned with the games (haven’t played Deadlock tho). Hades 2 is simply marvellous. I had my doubts how different it could be from the first one, it’s the same game, but so much more refined, I can’t stop smiling while playing with all the sweet details the game has. RIP Patrick.
