I just wanted to start saying that I really love Gods and Glory and I'm having a really really great time with it. I am planning to complete it 100%, including All Bindings and all Radiant bosses. I spent a good amount of time by playing this DLC and I found some things that I wanted to talk about.
First, I wanted to say that just because this DLC is free doesn't mean it can't have criticism.
I'll start from the Pantheons, then Hall of Gods and at the end some extra stuff:
1) Pure Vessel's Sprites and Cut Dialogue:
-You may call this a nitpick but I really think this is important. At the start of the fight we can see that Pure Vessel has his second arm, which is really interesting from a lore prospective, but the problem is that in most of his sprites you can't actually see the second arm, just like in The Hollow Knight sprites. Pure Vessel is an awesome fight and it's really sad that most of the sprites don't even have this really interesting detail.
-Also, the cut dreamnail dialogues are annoying, they are REALLY REALLY GOOOOOOD, they gave Pure Vessel character but for some reason TC didn't put them in the game, I can't find a reason why they would do that.
-Pure Vessel's cut dialogue for those who don't know it:
Do not think...
Do not speak...
Do not hope...
Do not..
...
2) Pantheon of Hallownest
-I really like it, I've seen people complain about it because of the length of it and it's fair but I enjoy going through all the bosses and changing to the best charms for the next wave. The main issue I think is that the new ending is behind it, which I agree isn't the best move from TC's part.
-If you struggle with it and want to beat it, you just gotta practice in Hall of Gods.
3) Absolute Radiance
-I really don't like this new fight because you need to play differently than any other boss in this game: To not get fucked by her overlaps you have to prevent them, there's no way you'll be able to predict them or dodge them all, you need to stay in the middle and dash through the Wall of Light as soon as you can to avoid getting overlapped. I really don't like this because all the other bosses need reactive play while this fight requires preventive play.
Also plz release patch, fake out orbs are annoying in the last phase thx.
4) Bindings
-They are a nice challenge, really really harsh, maybe a little too harsh, but for the first 4 Pantheons it's fine.
-A problem with them is that they don't make the boss fun to fight with, the fun you get from doing all bindings is to overcome the challenge and some people might not want/like that. I don't think they should be changed, especially because they are entirely optional but some bosses need to be changed. (Right below)
-The biggest problem with them is the adds that bosses spawn: Flukemarm is fine because nail still one shots the Flukefeys, Collector in Panth3 is fine because the Nail Arts aren't affect by Nail Binding for now, Grey Prince Zote is really annoying but Collector in Panth5 is the worst thing ever. Please nerf him. Like really.
5) Radiant Fights
-Most of them are fine and not that hard and just need some practice, for a couple of bosses you need to find a good charm setup and a good strategy and pull it off (e.g. Markoth, Collector, Uumuu and maybe Oblobbles and Radiance). I think some fights need to have a little nerf but they are mostly good.
6) Eternal Ordeal
-Ok, It really annoys me that TC decided to spend time to give Zote a little meme game AND a menu screen instead of adding a second arm to Pure Vessel or making Absolute Radiance a better fight (and less lazy).
-I really don't mind for new Zote stuff but this doesn't make sense any sense why it is here, while Grey Prince Zote makes sense because of Bretta.
7) Extra Stuff (that mostly I don't care about but I'm still gonna point them out)
-Godseeker mode is fine, it's a shortcut to Godhome with all charms etc, good for practicing bosses for maybe speedrunning but it's still kinda a disappointment.
-Glorifying Charms: oof
-Not much stuff outside of Godhome, a little bit sad about this.
-Apparently how Godseeker speaks is grammatically incorrect.
-Not much lore outside of the Godseekers.
-No Iselda boss fight.
-The circle things that cover the extra soul vessels when you have Soul Binding isn't a map pin.
And that's it.
I wanted to say that Team Cherry is amazing btw.
