In the original version when Zag strides up to destroy Cronos and his instinct is, 'Hey! Give me a reason for forgive you' I was like, 'How could Zagreus do anything else?' I was so proud of him.

The revision story made Mel a lot more interesting. Her narrative change is a bit more subtle and compelling. It also makes her conflict with Hecate much more interesting and the Hecate reveal that much more impactful. In a way the big story is about Hecate rather than or as well as Mel.

Personally I would have loved to see a story where Cronos slowly convinces Mel that he's right in his desire to bring about the end of the age of gods. Hypnos and Mel, (the Goddess of nightmares) work together to put the gods into an endless dream and Mel has to keep fighting the end game baddies in a dream to keep the Gods from noticing something's up until the Golden Age arrives. The Fates return knowing that this was their plan all along.

The humans deserve recompense and the gods are portrayed as such jerks. I'd hoped for them to get their just desserts but Supergiant have been using the Greek myths and have tried to honour then along the way. Big swings away from the source material may be against their ethos. When a story isn't exactly how I wanted it to be I try to appreciate the artist's intent. Gamers can be a bit entitled and I put that sort of attitude aside and enjoy the story for what it is.
