I haven’t played it, but if people are bitching about the homoerotic elements, well, that was just kind of common in Greek culture.
No, most of the bitching I saw was that Athena and Ares were black. Nevermind that none of the gods had natural skin color (Hades is red, Artemis is green, Poseidon is blue, etc), its not even a natural shade of black skin. Specifically, Athena is basically obsidian black (like the paintings on pots) and Ares is kind of an ash grey. There were also some complains that Aphrodite looked kind of masculine, but I honestly dont see it (some blocky-ness, but again its fitting with the overall game design).
Beyond that, I thought it played extremely well, the fact there was progression between runs is something I wish more roguelikes would do, and I actually LOVED the story of it. So I chalk it up to some people being too nitpicky because they have been hit so much they jump at every shadow.
I loved Hades. I have heard pretty much universal praise for that game.
When did the antisjw side attack the game? I just must have not seen it.
It was a few months back (around when the 1.0 update dropped) when some games journo types were praising the game and the journo brought up some things like "black Athena" and "Zag is Bi" and other of the usual talking points, so some people on both KIA's were saying that it must be a bad game. To be fair, there were more people saying it was still a great game even if the SJW journos were praising it, and that they were basically looking at it through their own lens and it was not accurate. Just something that I saw and was kind of annoyed by.
Eh I can understand why some people reacted like that.
To be fair I also am wary whenever the game journalists praise a game and if they specifically point out shit like a previously non black character is black or a character is bi, it is major red flags.
The game journalists' praise is generally an indicator of wokeness like Zuby's razor.
Zuby's razor is If someone has pronouns in bio, you know you are dealing with a crazy leftist.
An interesting game in that style is Prey Mooncrash. It's probably more fun if you played the original Prey but the gameplay is totally different.
