    I’m curious if they improved the builds. Coming from Isaac I was not so hot on Hades if I’m gonna be honest. Got burned out fairly quickly after not even 40 hours because it was very repetitive and I never felt like I could really build towards anything during the runs, while the story seemed to crawl to a halt as well.

      How long did you play BoI for if getting burned out on Hades after 40hrs was fairly quick?

        Not OP, but I have over 500 hours in a couple roguelikes and over a thousand in Slay The Spire. Depends on how good the game is at providing different experiences.

          I’m starting to question my life a lot. I’ve played over 4k hours of BoI since the first version. I remember when people warned about WoW before I really gamed and how people were sinking their whole lives into it and I was like, “wow, can’t imagine, that’s crazy,” and now I’m those people. I should go outside.

        I have 95 hours in basic Isaac and 235 hours in Rebirth (And I know that’s also on the lower end of things for quite a few other Isaac players). I’ve not played Afterbirth+, let alone Repentance, since by the time I already kinda was so out of the game that I didn’t want to re-learn it, but if I did that would likely add quite a few more hours onto it.

          I completed Afterbirth and put it down for a few years, I’ve recently got Repentance and not only did I pick it up again pretty quickly but there is so much new stuff. I can’t recommend it enough!
