Recently, Ben Starr, known for his role as Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16, shared his experience playing as Prometheus in Hades 2. Starr revealed that the character is considered one of the most difficult antagonists in the game, which led him to intense frustration during his gaming experience. Despite having dedicated more than 90 hours to Hades 2, Starr admitted that the difficulty of the combat against Prometheus made him question himself, even to the point of saying that he “hated himself” in those moments of uncertainty.
A boss who brought him down the road of bitterness
“Hades 2 really kept me immersed; the hours flew by,” Starr commented in a recent interview. However, he also expressed that confronting Prometheus was a challenging battle. “When I finally defeated him, I sent a picture to a friend and thought, damn, I guess I did it.”
This is a demonstration of how games like Hades 2 and their difficulty can keep players engaged through the emotional connection that is generated with them. Even if it’s through poor Starr wishing he could take a stroll in the countryside.
