Top 512 — Week 1 — Poll 4

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round of 512!

Each game is seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools. Every game in the Upper Bracket has defeated multiple other games in 1-on-1 polls to get to this point. These are still the best of the best.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

God damn, this is one of the hottest top-bracket matchups we've seen so far in the 2020 edition. Hades caught a low seed partly because it came out right as this event was starting, so fewer people had a chance to play it. Now, YEARS LATER, it has obviously picked up steam. I like it. I still think Arkham Asylum is a better overall game, though. It's a tight, well-designed 3D Metrovania puzzle explore-action game with a great story and great voice acting including by the late great Kevin Conroy (may he rest in peace).

This was much simpler for me as I haven’t played Hades yet and it’s not even on my to-play list presently. Arkham Asylum though is pretty outstanding in design and presentation. I actually played this one finally due to a previous BGE round years ago.
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.

Hades rules, but I do think I have to go with AA here. One of the tightest action games ever.
You got BOOST power!

Hades is 10/10 game, an absolute masterpiece.

Batman AA was a really good game, 9/10. Need to go back and play it again

Hades wins. I'm not a roguelike/lite fan but this game just kept me coming back
