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.
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Just be sure you're enjoying it and not actually suffering from anxiety and depression.
In my case, little of column a, little of column b.
Boi was that for me. There was a time in my life it and civ dominated.
