I don’t remember it being that bad but in battlefield heroes the weapons and upgrades you unlocked with free points were only temporary (like 2 weeks at a time or something)
Hades 1 early access was everything done correctly. They had very regular updates and you could kill Hades though it didn’t progress the story. The devs took feedback seriously which is why the final game turned out to be so perfect and refined out of the box.
There was in 2011 but the recent ones are essentially remakes using the some of the familiar characters in a new storyline and of course new multiplayer systems.
I like how men look like regular men but all the women are almost anime like goddesses
