One odd thing is there is a relic that doubles the damage of any attack that isn't affected by a boon. I feel odd that I don't want to take any primary upgrades anymore. Only want Dash causing damage, and general boons.
Man I've never unequipped the +max HP keepsake from Cerberus.

I did the same early on. Painting with really broad strokes, I like to use keepsakes from olympian gods for the first two zones usually to try to sculpt my build and god pool, then switch to eurydice’s keepsake for Elysium to save my death defy charges for the last zone.

That was my 17th run.

While it does not seem to be my cuppa tea, I think some of ya'll might appreciate it.
Anyone playing The Ascent? I can't tell if it is a spiritual sequel to Syndicate or just a slapped on theme to a generic twin stick shooter.

I picked up DUSK on Steam. This is a throwback FPS very much in the style of Quake. Good fun, running at the speed of light, blasting fools. No fall damage. First entire chapter was pretty easy, but the first level of chapter 2 amps it up quite a bit.

Couple of hours in and it is a blast. Having a firefight break out in a crowded area and seeing bystander aliens and droids get cut down in the crossfire (OK ok, maybe it is mostly me with a SMG) is oddly tragic.

The story itself is interesting, but I am not fond of the gameplay. It would probably be more tolerable on the PC, but my biggest hang-up would apply to any platform. You start to find a set order of events that you need to influence, and every time the loop starts over, you have to re-do that whole setup, which just gets longer and longer as you learn more. I do believe there are some shortcuts to this, but frankly I'm not finding the actual playing of this game to be worth it. It just devolves into tedium.
I don't know if I'll keep hacking away at it or not.

That was a tough track to come to terms with and had a practice session in the rain too. I ended up qualifying 4th and that speaks more to the low AI than my skill. My goal is to keep upping the AI and adjusting the helper functions until I don't need them.
Awesome game.
