Help! I have a choice to make between Hades, Psychonauts 2, and Doom Eternal. What do you guys think? I'm more of a casual gamer but enjoy a bit of challenge (I liked doom 2016 a lot, but I was told eternal is harder).
I also recommend Hades. Don't be afraid to use that "God mode"
Hades would be my choice if you're looking to be challenged. Give it a few tries on normal difficulty, and if you're getting your ass kicked it has a great casual friendly accessibility option to turn on a slowly scaling damage reduction that will eventually tune the game to your skill level. You can turn it off at any time, and there are no penalties for using it.
Psychonauts 2 is also a solid choice. Overall it was an excellent sequel and definitely worth playing, but if you're looking for a challenge look elsewhere. It's a casual platformer through and through. It's still a great game in it's own right, though IMO it doesn't take as many risks as the original Psychonauts and didn't quite hit the same emotional highs.
Thanks!
Hades is an amazing game that you can play forever. It is as challenging as you want to make it but to complete the entire story you'll have to play a lot.
Psychonauts 2 is a great platformer. Very good for casual play. The story is great and it's very funny.
I like doom eternal better than doom 2016 only because it has more of a rock, paper, scissors feel to the combat than 2016. Meaning you will perform a lot better switching your weapons to fit the enemy. As opposed to 2016 where you can just use whatever you feel like.
