Very late to this party, just picked up a physical copy on the switch. One thing that jumps out so far is that the “cast” really doesn’t do much? I did get a boon once which turned it into a spinning disc which did a ton of damage, but other than that I haven’t really seen any real use to it. Am I missing something?

Depending on which (and which level) boons you combine it with, cast can cause absolute carnage. You can cause extra damage to enemies in which you've lodged your cast, so you can load up tough enemies that way. Also, you can configure it to do different kinds of damage and area effects when it leave enemies. It can be a slow-moving spinning disk with Ares' 'doom' effect, or similar from Athena with deflect. Dionysus's variant poisons enemies with booze. For Artemis, cast is a homing arrow, which when powered up is extremely useful. Also, it's worth leveling up the mirror with darkness so you can get three casts. It's well worth playing around with as it has a lot of benefits and versatility.Last edited by Golgo; 08-05-2021, 16:55.

Being a console player I've cought this train late, but here are my thoughts...
One of the best things about Dark Souls 3 is how fantastically well balanced it is. There is no weapon and no build that can't kick ass in the right hands. Hades has the same. Sure there are boons that stand out, but you can play with any weapon and boon combo and if you lean into it, you can kick ass.
It's been a very well thought out game that doesn't punish you for dieing, but instead actively rewards experimentation. As much as the character is getting better, I as a player am learning from each run.
Combat has a nice stank to it and make it very satisfying when you kick a lot of ass.
Overall its almost as perfect a game as you can make.

I get the feeling I'm playing this game all wrong though. I'm probably not very good at it, but it's like I'm missing something. I'll have to watch some gameplay vids.

That's pretty cheap by limited-print Switch physical indie standards.
I now see copies of it going for £40+!

Ok I own the rights to play it... Happy?
It's my lucky day today, I finally got access to my old UK switch account to not only regain access to the 40+ digital titles in my library but also find out I had enough gold points or whatever they're called to shave £15 off this digitally... So I've grabbed it for I've a tenner.
