 I've finally murdered that big bad Hydra! Can't wait to see what's beyond it! Oh, oh joy. Hello everyone, I'm Philip Madness and this video is a short exploration of a few of the features I really liked and some of those I disliked in Hades' latest patch, the Chaos Update. Let's take a look at the big changes first. And this one is a favourite. Zagreus' model has been updated with some really nice shading and generally better 3D work. Several other models are also improved and I believe so is a number of attack animations and objects. It's just looking better and better this game. Now to the 3D artists joining the studio from what I've heard, I can only guess that we will be seeing even more impressive 3D animation and models in the near and distant future alike. Now for the main course, this update introduces to Chaos, the primordial originator. Chaos is interesting even if I feel like they decided to go with a rather cliched choice of voicing him. That's right, they did that whole Echoy Mowy. That's all primordial and varying human beings in all games, movies and TV get at some point or another. The idea that Chaos is an actual personification so, instead of a super primordial, scary destructive energy, is something I am into. He, or is it it? refers to the other gods questioning whether the Olympians have forgotten about him, it, and throwing all kinds of shade in Zeus's direction in particular. He's also kind of Zagreus's adoptive grandparent, while account of being Nix's father, and Nix, i.e. Knight, is the goddess who took care of Zagreus all his life. Ergo, that's the connection. Of course, you know that in Greek mythology everyone is connected with everyone in familial bonds, or bonds of hatred, one of the two, but mostly it's just blood. Plenty of blood. Anyway, not far the daughter do, doesn't have the greatest relationship, but cares seems to have turned a new leaf as intent on helping Zagreus, though his motivations used to be something along the lines of, I want to see what happens. Rather than some sincere desire to help our favourite Zagreus get out of Hades, there are also several new types of enemies. The most annoying of which is a big-ass stone head that flies into the air and tries to turn Zag into a pancake, which I don't have to appreciate in the least, let me tell you. There's also a bunch of wee Medusa heads, which will turn you into stone with their projectiles, which is, you know, part of the experience. Whether it's a positive or a negative experience though, that is for you to decide. Hint, it's a positive experience that the game is so much fun. One new change I dislike, everyone or so, proper Hades will decide to challenge Sunny Boy on not getting hit. What is otherwise a completely normal reward will turn into a piece of onion that heals one HP, even if you get so much as a single point of damage from lava. Especially later on in Asphodias, not getting hit can be really challenging. It will be sweet if we were to get an additional reward, like gold, a health pickup, maybe a dessert, maybe some burgers with that onion, anything really, to make this sort of challenge at least a little bit more worthwhile. One last thing I particularly enjoyed, several new room types have been added, meaning that there is even greater variety. In detailed rooms you'll be battling through. I'm hoping they add more and more of those with each major update, because it's fun to not go over the same 10-15 varieties I've at this point learned by heart. PS, last time I made a mistake. I said that the first set of levels was called Hades proper and the second was called Akron respectively. I was wrong, sorry about that, the proper names are Tartarus and Asphodias. At any rate, that's my take on the KS update and only with a few days to go before the next big update hits. I've actually been working on this for a while, or rather I've been meaning to get to this for a while, but January, surprisingly busy month. And then I got sick and you know, it's a nasty, nasty thing being sick. But anyway, thank you guys for watching, listening and hopefully you enjoy this to the fullest. I'll see you next time, if you enjoyed this, please share, like, subscribe, ring the bell. As people keep saying, I don't get it, but, ah, he does. I'll see you next time. Bye!
