030 - Hades
b'Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\\n\\nOnce a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\\u2019s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.\\n\\nWhether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they\\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what\\u2019s coming up on the next adventure.\\n\\nThis month\\u2026 is not so random. Over the month of August, Derek, along with past guests Dougie and Evan, all became organically enamoured with Supergiant\\u2019s celebrated roguelike, Hades. This does happen too often, so Derek figured that he should get the three of them together to chat about their experience.\\n\\nThere are a ton of spoilers for the game in this episode, but in short, everyone freaking loves this game (which is not news since that was the case with the Switch version like more than a year ago).\\n\\nRecipient of more than 50 Game of the Year awards! In this rogue-like dungeon crawler, you\\u2019ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.\\n\\nListen to find out how things went, and if you like what you\\u2019ve heard, here\\u2019s where you can subscribe to the show:\\n\\nAnchor\\nApple Podcasts\\nBreaker\\nCastbox\\nGoogle Podcasts\\niHeartRadio\\nOvercast\\nPocket Casts\\nPodBean\\nRadioPublic\\nStitcher\\nSpotify\\nTuneIn\\n\\nThanks for joining us for another episode!
