Oh yeah, that was awesome.

I'd love to see an HD port of Grand Knights History, the one Vanillaware game that never made it over here.

I forgot all about that one - definitely would be interested in that.

Another big PS indie sale going on. Have any of you guys played Hades? Trek to Yumi? Thoughts?

I played Trek to Yomi on Game Pass, and I wouldn't recommend it. It's visually impressive, but the combat is awkward and lacking any degree of fluidity or fun imho. It'll be pretty low on my year-end rankings. If you're interested in presentation alone, however, it might be worth a couple bucks.

I was hoping it would be a 2D Ghost of Tsushima. Apparently not. Thanks for the word.

Yeah, and it’s a pretty good one. I got The Ascent, Encodya, Final Vendetta, The Good Life, Kaze and the Wild Masks, Lost Ruins and PowerSlave Exhumed.

I haven’t, but I know that argyle played Hades and really liked it.

Hades is amazing, easily worth full price so definitely worth whatever it's on sale for.
