    This game is just fantastic. Clearly game of the year. Nice progression and dying doesn't feel as frustrating as in other rogue-likes. All the characters are pretty fleshed out and the House of Hades has so much character, and except for some so so voice-acting, this game is just perfect.

    Super original in its look and overall mechanics. This game is extremely polished. After countless hours of play, I haven't run into a single glitch. Studios like this will eventually overrun the AAA cash cows, even with their micro transaction billions. This game is super fun and it's ability to adapt to you and make itself more challenging is insane.

The replayability of this game is insane, the story great and rewarding (the fact that evey time I spoke to someone they had something new to say even after 60+ hours game time amazes me) and the sound design and voice actors phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Even the dialogue between Zagreus and all the gods seems lost its flavor, just repeating same blablabla again and again. Wish there is a easier mode to push the story goes on without so many failure.

    Tried to use different weapons, but so far 4 out of 5 times shields are used to beat Hades. Feels like the weapons are fun to use but can be better balanced.

    Overall a very satisfying experience, will get back to it from time to time, although probably won't spend too much time on it from now.    … Expand

    What is Hades?

    Hades is the story of Zagreus, a Teenager who “can’t even” with his dad and decides to run away and smash as much stuff as he can on his way out, a plan that is complicated a bit by him being the son of Hades and the house he tries to leave is the Underworld.

    Hades is a roguelike whose isometric look look and combat mechanics owe a debt to Diablo, but instead of an endless climb up the equipment ladder, it feeds you precious story morsels to keep you motivated.

    Hades is a Supergiant Games title, a pedigree that signifies incredible art direction, excellent writing and experimental storytelling.

    Hades is the roguelike I’ve played for 150 hours straight during the last month.

    Why, you ask? Let me count the reasons:

    The combat is excellent: Zagreus, the protagonist, has two attack types, a dash, a spell and one to two ults, all of them easy to pull off, but only studious application of each will see you succeed. He starts each run with one of six very different weapons, and picks up powerups along the way that can alter the gameplay significantly. The system is easy to pick up but has a lot of hidden depth, the action is spectacular at times but almost always legible, each of the four biomes Zagreus can cross have their own, completely unique collection of foes and It. Just. Never. Gets. Old. I grew weary of Diablo combat, and Dead Cells combat. I never grew tired of Hades combat.

    The plot and the writing are top notch, the best Supergiant Games has produced yet, and that’s saying something. The characters in here are now the definite interpretation of the Greek Pantheon for me (did I mention the setting of Hades is the Greek Pantheon?). All the characters consist only of a few still images and a ginormous amount of recorded lines, but they all come across as so human and deep and charming and likable… Ok, Ares comes across as the well-meaning but weird uncle who doesn’t get left alone with the kids much, and Zeus is a bit of a buffoon, but still, you just have to be charmed by even them. They are family. A very dysfunctional family, sure, and the stuff they all go through goes to some pretty dark places at times, but it all finds a heartwarming, hopeful finale.

    Well, ok, Theseus is a dick.

    But what’s really surprising, and what really feels like squaring the circle, is how tightly interwoven combat and story are. Little pieces of plot are dispensed throughout every run, and every death nets you a double dose, when Zagreus returns to the house of Dad and gets to talk to all his friends (and Hades). The action delightfully informs the plot, and the plot provides delicious context for the action. The pacing is excellent: Talky time provides the occasional breather during the high octane action, but it never overstays its welcome. It sounds like a contradiction, but they did pull it off: Hades really is a great roguelike with an excellent story.

    The production values are through the roof: The art is creative, highly detailed, vibrant, wonderful. The soundtrack grabs you and never lets go. Logan Cunningham is the god of sexy voices, but all the other voice actors bring their A game, too.

    Are there quibbles? Well,the poisonous enemies in the final realm can go die in a fire. And I’m a bit resentful that I had to activate Easy Mode to push through a certain difficulty spike. But that’s my personal failing.

    TLDR: Supergiant Games did it again. Buy this game, play this game. And say Hi to my gal Artemis for me.    … Expand

There are 5 worlds, with 4 bosses battles and 1 very good boy. The best part of the game are the characters and conversation. After beating the game for the first time after so many tries, I found out I have to do the same thing 10 more times to get the proper ending and 5-6 times more to get the final ending which is worth it but the game becomes progressively difficult. I was getting tired and just put up a mod and tried all the new blessings and beat the game which felt more fun.

This is a great step forward for cross-platforming, even if it doesn’t involve actual multiplayer itself; but the point here is that a game as investing, frustrating yet rewarding as Hades has this function is definitely noteworthy and something other games are SURE to adopt in the future.

    The story is great: layered even in its ‘repetitious’ Groundhog-Day-like storytelling, the gameplay is nice and punchy, and the soundtrack adds to the relentless challenge that is Hades. As the Son of Hades, Zagreus must escape his father’s clutches or forever suffer the Underworld’s all-encompassing grasp on the world of the dead. Zagreus must break the cycle and find out the truth about his mother, if he can even get himself there.

    Hades is a blast with enough modern vibes and retro ones to make it an experience for newcomers and veteran hardcore gamers alike. Needless to say, this game is a CHALLENGE! But a fun one.    … Expand

As your skills grow, you'll notice your weapon preferences change over time. I initially prefered the bow but now favour the sword. I'm giving the game an 8 not a 10 as I have beaten the final boss a few times and unsure what's left to do. I know there are bounties but I wished the game had more 'stuff' to do. Overall I've played this game for 50 hours and will play for another 50. Unlike what the bad reviews are saying, this game is not a grind.

    I gave it a try. I hate repetition but there have been a few rougelites that I have enjoyed. This is not one of them. Most of the game is well made but the repetition is ridiculous. After the first couple of runs I was already bored with the first level. The poorly named "god mode" is the only reason I stuck it out. I can't bring myself to play anymore after a single completion.

    But let´s speak about the important part, the game.
    It plays super smooth, every weapon feels very different, combined with the upgrades(boons) you get, every run feels different. There is not one overpowered way you have to play to be overpowered, there are many different combinations to make the best of your run.
    Roguelite elements are great and make you try "just one more run".

    But the superior part, which made it a solid 10, is the storytelling and progressing. Every run you learn something new about the situation, characters and the motives. It is superb storytelling in a genre, where most believed there is no actual way to progress a story.

Zagreus tries to escape his fathers realm. He is supported by his mother Nyx who even informed the other Greek gods that will help him. However there is far more to the story than it seems at first. You will discover secrets, reveals, twists and know your family, friends, acquaintances and other gods better. I must praise the characters and writing. The Greek legends are full of conflicts between the gods and those are all related to each other. This is transferred well into the game. They are like a family with a lot of problems. The game even won the literary Hugo Award to give you some perspective how good it is. For me this was amazing and I continued even after obtaining the platinum trophy to see the outcomes of some stories. It is well written, enjoyable and gives you always something to kept your interest. The gameplay is like I said a rouge-like RPG. You start each escape run with no abilities and advance through the rooms of the underworld. Each room has rewards like abilities, benefits, items or currencies. Sometimes you can chose between options. This was something I was worried about but it is not the weakness I thought. It is a true strength. In approx 100 runs I never encounter a truly weak set up. I discovered instead some amazing abilities, combinations and different options. Even some abilities I avoided first were good, some even worth reversing my opinion. For example: My least liked weapon became my favorite and the weapon I thought was best became my least used (The game has an interesting system in teasing you to chose different weapons). I admit that I use some abilities or better said set up more often but the different set ups keep it fresh. The next strength are the things you can unlock. There are so many helpful things. Be it new weapons, helpful rooms, appearing treasures, cosmetic set ups, abilities and bonuses. You always have new stuff to do or unlock. Rarely ever have I encounter a game that succeeds in keeping everything this fresh and enjoyable. Then there is the graphic. The art style is excellent and I like the hand draw graphics. For games like this I would always buy an artbook. The music is even better. You will encounter many awesome tracks and there are 2 characters who maybe give you some of the best songs in the game. To round up this experience I did not encounter a single serious bug or glitch. Overall this is my favorite game of the year and deserves my full praise. Never have I encountered a game that keeps being this refreshing from start to finish. Be it the story or gameplay everything is excellent and well thought out. Even the difficulty is correctly balanced as god mode gives you more resistance with each death until you don't die easily. A well thought out system. An easy 10/10 for me… Expand

    7.5/10.
    It is a good roguelike game. But I still think The Binding of Isaac is still superior.
    The greatest differences between this game to other roguelike are two things: 1- Each time you fail or escape you can collect some items that will make your character stronger in the next runs (darkness, jewelry, titan blood, diamonds, keys). So every new run you will be stronger and    7.5/10.

    The greatest differences between this game to other roguelike are two things:

    1- Each time you fail or escape you can collect some items that will make your character stronger in the next runs (darkness, jewelry, titan blood, diamonds, keys). So every new run you will be stronger and stronger. So, in the first runs, it is quite impossible to even defeat the 2nd boss but once you arrive at 35th-40th run you can pretty much always win because you will be super strong if you use everything the game gives you.

    2- The story is the great differential, although it isn't an awesome story it has some charismatic characters, and the most important thing, the story makes sense, it justifies why you return to the beggining after you die and why you have to escape the underworld over and over again and the characters react the way you died in the last run. IMO, that is really clever.

    For me, this game lost some points because I've felt it is kinda repetitive. It only has 6 weapons (btw I escaped the underworld with every one of the weapons) and most of the buffs (it is called boons in this game) are generic. Only some hammer buffs really can change the way you play (and after some aspects buffs that are predefined buffs) and you can only get 2 hammer buffs per run. I feel The Binding of Isaac has a much more combination of interesting buffs and skills meanwhile in Hades, the buffs are much more generics, generally speaking, they just buff your numbers not the way you play.

    Also, the enemies are way too repetitive, you always fight the same enemies over and over and it is boring especially on the 1st and 2nd floor because they are too easy when you already have escaped at least 1-2 runs. On the other hand, in The Binding of Isaac the game won't get easy because you start your run more powerful, rather you learned how to play and improved yourself (also you need lucky with the buffs, the as same as Hades with the boons).

    But still, for a pass time it is a cool game.    … Expand

    The best game I've played in a while and extremely addictive. At first I wasn't very excited by the isometric view and I was doubtful that it would surpass Dead Cells as a rogue lite but, boy, was I wrong. I finished the game weeks ago, including the epilogue, but I keep playing it daily.

    I had honestly never played a rogue-lite or whatever it's called before, but this game was a great introduction to the genre. The animation style is great and the characters are all unique with interesting voice acting and dialogue. The gameplay is enjoyable and even though you repeat a lot of the same areas it stays very fresh and fun. One of the best games of 2020 and hell 2021 so far.

    - Style (-uniqueness): The game has a cartoonish but very stylish look. The menus have this usual Greek feel to them. (10/10)
    - User Interface: Everything is fairly easy to see and understand by a glance. (10/10)

    Sound: 10/10

    - Voice acting: This is one of the best parts of the game. The voice acting is amazing, and every character has a very suiting voice that conveys their personality. (10/10)
    - Music: There are incredible hits in this game with and without vocals. My favourite little thing is that after you clear the room, all the instruments stop except the bass. (10/10)
    - Sound effects: Every little thing has its own sound effect, my favourite is that every god has their own little effect when you get a boon from them. (10/10)

    Gameplay: 8.8/10

    - Controls (ease of use): The most important part of the game. I tried keyboard and controller as well, I like the controller better. You have to dodge a lot in this game and there’s a lot of button smashing, I feel like just holding down the button should elicit the same result – yes, one of my favourite buff. (9/10)
    - Unique systems: Well, standard rouglite-deckbuilding formula. You get stronger and stronger as you progress. You can also get temporary buffs & debuffs. It is possible to create nice combos, but I wouldn’t say there’s much very surprising. The delightful thing is that there are a lot of weapons that you can also edit. A lot of variety here. (8/10)
    - Difficulty (settings, scaling, etc.): I think there is a steep learning curve here, but after you understand all the enemies and bosses you can feel quite competent. I heard that there is also a “god mode” so if you are only interested in the story, it is possible to just enjoy that. You can also make the game more difficult later on, so fair play to the developers here. (10/10)
    - Grind: There is a lot of content here that you CAN grind for. I think that completing the main story takes a bit too much time, but I never really had to grind for anything. (8/10)

    Story/Lore/World: 9.8/10

    - Characters: All the characters are from Greek mythology and I think they are all fleshed-out pretty well. Their personalities are well reflected in all aspects of the game, e.g., in the case of gods, even their boons reflect their personalities. (10/10)
    - Writing quality: Incredible and smart writing. The mythology really comes alive, the characters and the world feel alive. (10/10)
    - World design: I think it was really clever how the developers could fit a rougelike game in the Underworld, you really feel like you are progressing through it in an attempt to escape. I would have preferred more locations. (9/10)
    - Story/Lore: Greek mythology, what else do you want? Of course, there is a lot of material to work here, and I think the developers have done a fairly good job of showcasing the Underworld. There are a lot of stories and lore here (10/10).

    Technical: 10/10

    The game is a pretty good roguelite. What is good is that the story and characters are just soo interesting that dying is not as bad as it is. The gameplay is very fun although it gets repetitive at times due to the small level diversity. The game has soo much to do in it and can give you 70+ hours of fun.

    It's amazing how easily I get caught up "doing one more room", thinking "oh, this is a great build" or "Is that Artemis up next?". Even though I should be bored at this point, going through only 4 levels, having to play about 25 minutes at a time (approximately the time of a run) to get a tiny drip of story, the idea of having a tiny bit of exposition revealed by running into one of the gods is incredibly tempting. "Oh, Artemis is up! I wonder what she'll say this time".

    The countless "sidequests" are so well integrated into the gameplay and story that it's hard to think of them as sidequests. The rewards are also quite good, so the incentives are both materially useful and thematically satisfying. Chatting up Artemis and getting all her boons gets you gems and access to a weapon's secret form? Sign me up for a Zoom call right now.

    Considering how varied the skills can be, it's actually pretty amazing how narrow the gap is between a bad run and a good run. Sure, a 2% increase in critical hit chance from Artemis doesn't seem like much, but add in her skill that shoots out tiny arrows with every attack - also seemingly useless - and the damage can rack up surprisingly fast. Thanks again, Artemis!

    More seriously, I have some minor issues with it. Sometimes I wish I could get more story without going on a full run. I wish I there were an auto-kill to go back to the beginning instead of continuing on a doomed run or just letting myself get killed (which can take a lot of time with a few Death-defiances left). I wish I could run into Artemis more often without using her trinket. But really, that's about it.

    One thing that people don't mention is how quick the game flows. The only loading in the game happens at startup, a few seconds here and that's it. Zero loading otherwise. After playing FF15, Hades feels incredibly refreshing. The gameplay is super tight and responsive and fun. Picking up stuff is easy, fishing doesn't take forever, every interface is extremely efficient. The fact that I can jump in and out almost instantly is very beneficial to keeping the ultimately repetitive nature of the game fun.

    So yeah, Hades is an amazing game. It has a compelling story and characters, an enjoyable and addictive gameplay loop, beautiful visuals, great voice acting, tons of side content that is actually rewarding, and all this executed superbly with no basically no load time. A+

    I went into the game not really knowing what to expect. I am not a big fan of top-down RPG games or roguelike games as they do not feel interactive and are very grindy. However, Hades has been very addictive and fun with its interesting storytelling and its combat and boon mechanics. Although there is a grind, it is always satisfactory every time you escape.

    I have never been a roguelike fan but this game really got me into it. Let's separate some of my points here
    STORY
    There are rarely or even any roguelike games that ever told a story in anyway but Hades takes the cake with this.

The characters you meet in this game is memorable, funny, mean, and every other personality one would have. I have played this game for 40-50 hours now and there are still new dialogs to find and I don't know how these voice actors even manage to keep quality and quantity at the same level. The story and the gameplay compliments each other very well and you will never see any sort of dissonance.
    VISUALS
    The visuals in this game is very underrated. The animations and the art style of every part of the world is memorable and just beautiful. It's like a really high quality anime.
    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay in Hades is very fast paced. The game barely gives you anytime to breath and you just gotta keep going and it's always addicting. The amount of weapons and how different they felt really increased the replayability of this game and the mode you get after completing your quest is a nice cherry on top.

    NEGATIVES
    There isn't really much negatives that I could really say. The biggest thing probably for me is that the game gets tedious at times and I just got really bored after 20 hours and I left the game without finishing it. A couple days later I felt like I wanted to go back to the game and so I did and I continued to love it. It might not be a game for everyone but I feel like anyone who buys it will not regret it.

    It's not exactly a hot take to say that Hades was one of the best games to be released in a long time. Even amongst a sea of Triple-A titles in past years, this game really shines through in every aspect that matters: Good story, top tier voice acting, addictive gameplay, plenty of replay-ability, and an amazing soundtrack. The death theme being tied to Dies Irae is a wonderful touch.It's not exactly a hot take to say that Hades was one of the best games to be released in a long time. Even amongst a sea of Triple-A titles in past years, this game really shines through in every aspect that matters: Good story, top tier voice acting, addictive gameplay, plenty of replay-ability, and an amazing soundtrack. The death theme being tied to Dies Irae is a wonderful touch.

    One of the things that really makes it stand out is that, as games continue to push limits of realism in graphics, Hades takes a more refined approach, letting a rich and colorful environment keep the eyes busy during the fast paced top-down gameplay, while boasting an attractive art style and character design that helps push the narrative parts of the game.

    This game reignited my love for Greek mythology through some refreshing re-imaginings of classic characters in a way that seems to pay respect for the origins while also offering new perspectives on a handful of Olympians and others of note.

    Now for my actual hot take: I feel like Hades is possibly the best example I've seen in being "woke" without feeling like pandering at all. The lack of AAA production keeps a level of soullessness out of the equation, allowing for the storytellers to represent LGBTQ+ characters as a natural part of the world without it feeling forced. There are gay, bisexual, polyamorous, and non-binary characters, just as you find in the mythology on which its based, and the inclusion of those themes alongside and intertwined with the story beats around family, love, and loss is refreshing.

    With over 70 hours invested so far, I'm starting to feel addicted.

Ancak mesela Children of Morta güzel bir örneğiydi. Hikayesinin sürekli akması tekrar hissini kırıyordu. Farklı karakterler ve combat şekilleri de bunda etkiliydi. Bölümü geçince harita da değişiyordu ama düşmanların saldırı şekilleri hep aynıydı.

    Hades oyunu ise hem hikayeyi çok iyi aktarmış, dünyasında dolaşırken bile keşfedebileceğiniz bir kaç yer koymuş, hem de combat çeşitliliğini inanılmaz bir yere çıkarmış. Bunları yaparken düşmanların da gelişmesini ve değişmesini sağlamasıyla oldukça keyifli bir iş çıkarmış. Her öldüğünüzde, evde şimdi nasıl muhabbetler dönecek acaba diye düşünerek meraklanıyorsunuz mesela. Oyunun hikayesi türüne çok iyi uyuyor. Ölüp ölüp dirilmenin, Hades'i yer altı dünyasından kaçmaya çalışmanın mantığı hikaye ve oynanışla uyumlu.

    Combat çeşitliliği şimdiye kadar bir oyunda gördüğüm en üst seviye olabilir. 6 tane yakın ve uzak mesafe silahın yanında, büyü ve kaçınma vuruşlarınız da var. Tüm bunlara tanrıların rastgele verdiği özellikler ve onların komboları da eklenince neredeyse her oynayışınızda farklı şekilde ilerliyorsunuz. Farklı farklı tanrılar çoğu zaman farklı farklı hediyeler vererek sizin oynayışınızı derinden etkiliyor. Üstelik bunlar sadece silahın gücünü artıran yüzde artışları falan değil. Çoğu zaman direkt oynama şeklinizi değiştiren özellikler. Oyun ilerledikçe size yeni özellikler ve geliştirmeler sunmaya devam ediyor. Tek eksi yanı aynı yeri 10 defa bitirmek zorunda olmanız. Evet yer altında 10 defa çıkmanız gerekiyor hikayeyi bitirmek için. İlkinde çok tatmin etse de diğerlerini aynı şevkle oynayamıyorsunuz maalesef. Sonraki seferlerde düşmanlar biraz değişse ve güçlense de temelde aynı şekilde davranıyorlar. Oysa bunun yerine Children of Morta'nın yaptığı gibi yeni harita ve görsel olarak yeni düşmanlar olabilirdi. Böylece hikayede verilen bu ilerleme hissi görselle de desteklenmiş olurdu.
    Oyunun görsel yanı çok çok iyi. Böyle hızlı bir oynanışa rağmen asla karışıklık yaşanmıyor. Müzik ve seslendirmeler de yine çok güçlü. Supergiant Games'in Bastion ve Transistor oyunlarını oynamıştım ama Hades her açıdan onlardan çok daha üstün.

    Oyun credits'ten sonra bile devam ediyormuş ama ben orada bıraktım. Sonuçta 25-30 saate yakın oynamış oldum. Her silahı kasmayla uğraşmak istemedim. Netice itibariyle oynadığım en iyi indie yapımlardan birisi oldu.    … Expand

    Hades é um jogo que a mera proposta já mostra que estamos fora da caixinha, com o protagonista tendo uma rodada para chegar até a superfície com Buffs aleatórios, mas que a cada vez pode ser gerenciado de forma melhor, com isso é difícil o jogo se tornar repetitivo, porque dessa proposta, existem várias coisas que podem ser feitas, e parte disso só se pode se experimentar jogando, mas não é apenas na jogabilidade que jogo triunfa, mas nos visuais, nas mecânicas, nas coisas simples que se aprende, mas demora se para domina las completamente, na História que não termina quando o jogador termina de primeira vez o game. Hades é um jogo que há muito tempo não se via, uma completa experiência que vai agradar a muitos, se não todos que puderem ter o prazer de ter esse Jogo.    … Expand

    It's flowing. Nice gameplay, nice theme. Now take it out in different styles too. Sometimes it's boring to be constantly dying and coming back to life.

    Hades es uno de los mejores juegos indie que han salido hasta la fecha. Este roguelite ha llegado a ser uno de los mejores exponentes de su género gracias a su exquisita jugabilidad, sistema de progresión y curva de dificultad.

Este roguelite ha llegado a ser uno de los mejores exponentes de su género gracias a su exquisita jugabilidad, sistema de progresión y curva de dificultad. La manera en la que cambia cada partida según el arma que elijas, las bendiciones que utilices y las decisiones permiten que el juego se haga muy entretenido de jugar, ya que cada partida que realices va a ser totalmente distinta a la anterior. Aquí entra el único punto débil del juego: la repetición de los enemigos para llegar hasta el final del juego. Tras finalizar la primera run, hasta llegar al final del juego hay que volver a pasárselo un número significativo de veces y, a pesar de que tras este final se añaden algunos enemigos e interacciones nuevas (incluso algunas mecánicas nuevas que dificultan el juego a cambio de una mayor recompensa), se hacen bastante escasos para la cantidad de veces que se te pide finalizar la run para llegar a los créditos. Esto provoca que las últimas runs que se realicen se hagan un tanto repetitivas ya que, además de este factor, las bendiciones ya no son sorprendentes y la repetición se hace notar demasiado. Añadiendo a este problema las interfaces poco intuitivas y mejorables, este juego es perfecto en todo lo demás. La historia me parece muy buena, intrigante y que consigue a través de su sencilla premisa que sea fácil de seguir y que te enganche. Cabe destacar que los arcos argumentales entre los personajes, que a su vez todos ellos son excelentes, son cada cual mejor y los hilos que se generan entre ellos generan que la historia sea muy completa y coherente. A esto se le añade el sistema de regalos, lo que permite profundizar sobre todos ellos. La mitología griega está perfectamente implementada en el juego, mediante diálogos, interacciones, intervenciones del narrador y descripciones de personajes y enemigos; siendo este uno de los pilares fundamentales del mismo. A nivel artístico es increíble, con personajes y escenarios memorablemente bellos; y la banda sonora también es excelente. He tardado unas 30 horas en pasármelo pero la duración puede variar mucho según la destreza del jugador. Un juegazo recomendable para todo el mundo. 9,2/10

    Hades opens up wonderfully, with a beautiful art direction, strong sense of audio visual identity and a smartly crafted narritive that is intertwined with it's roguelite structure.

The voice acting is really good, and sells the expository dialogue well. What also helps is that all the character designs and voices are really distinct from another. This also helps you get invested in it's main narrative as well as any side story you choose to get into.

    The core gameplay is completely fine in the first half. Where the experience really begins to suffer however, is in the latter half of the game. I don't think the game is to difficult, it's probably one of the easiest roguelite/like ever made. But you will be required to do the same thing over and over again, and there is a serious lack of enemy variety. The boss of the second and third chamber are so excruciatingly dull and boring that after a while I just turned on easy mode to go to the ending, but at that moment the game already jumped the shark for me.

    A lot of people say that the variety in this game stems from the runs being really different from another, which I really don't agree with. After a couple of successful runs you can make a pretty good formula in your head you can follow of what items you should pick up and you will basically always win. The combat feels a bit floaty so after you figured out how to make a successful run it just gets stale.

    What really helps is the very beautifully written dialogue and voice acting combined with the music at each successful run. However, the kind of true ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, especially since I didn't expect the game to be over since there wasn't really any build up towards it.

    Still I think Hades is really worth your time, especially for the price tag. If they had done a better job at making more enemies and bosses, and paced everything better the game would probably have stayed fresh for me at the end.

    7/10 for me.    … Expand

    Do you know what I'm going to do after writing this review? Play Hades again - for fun. It's just so damn good. Maybe I'll be able to escape hell, maybe not, but I'll be happy to try again.

    As with previous titles from Supergiant Games, Hades features stellar artwork and music, masterfully creating a world of Greek mythology. The fast-paced action feels great, and the roguelike elements create a synergy with the game’s story, resulting in a truly addictive experience.

    Hades is a roguelike action RPG developed and published by Supergiant Games. It set a new bar for roguelike games with amazing visuals, character development, and storyline. Hades does have a few minor issues that plague most roguelikes. But these don’t impact the overall experience of an amazingly great game.
