On the one hand, these are very clever and well-executed.

A secret: this is my first big review for Kotaku. I appreciate the kind words!

Thank you for this. The platform people have to dig into every minute aspect of everything in order to find something wrong with a harmless art is too large. This crap needs to stop and we need to appreciate the nod to Nintendo classics and quit making everything a political statement.

get over yourself, nintendo doesnt make these characters to conform to your ridiculous personal tastes where every single woman has to be gay and in a same sex relationship with another woman

I swear they sound like the same actors as their English voices. Especially Hades. That VA sounds dead-on like James Woods speaking Japanese.

I don’t think Heather gets the concept that this game is largely satire of the great platform games.

To be fair, Geralt’s job is literally monster slaying bounty hunter.

Geralt is a Witcher, they hunt monsters for coin.
