    Ótimo jogo. História incrível, combate muito bem estruturado, os personagens não muito bem escritos e desenvolvidos. Vale a pena.

    An amazing game that won me totally over. It is an action RPG / rouge-like game. You are playing Zagreus who is the son of Hades the Greek godAn amazing game that won me totally over. It is an action RPG / rouge-like game. You are playing Zagreus who is the son of Hades the Greek god of the underworld. 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

    Beautiful art direction, amazing music and voice acting. Gameplay is so satisfying and balanced that it will make you come back for more. IBeautiful art direction, amazing music and voice acting. Gameplay is so satisfying and balanced that it will make you come back for more. I tend to get frustrated with rogue style games, with Hades is somehow different though. It is a short game but finishing it several times does unlock some cool stuff, gameplay modifiers and also lore info via different dialogs. One of the best rogue-like games I have played so far. Supergiant Games fourth game is simply brilliant.… Expand

With all the raving reviews you would expect a masterful history, but sadly just isn’tHades is a good game but a bit of a disappointment too. With all the raving reviews you would expect a masterful history, but sadly just isn’t there. At the beginning the game promises you a very good history and that promise keeps you hooked at the start but it never fully delivers its promise, the history being too dragged over the course of the game and never that deep of meaningful.

    I found fun the jokes and humor for the most part but they felt directed too much for angsty teenagers and a weird mix with the supposedly epic Greek drama. That mix didn’t work well for me.

    The gameplay is solid with different weapons that allow for replayability and the random generation of “dungeons” keeps it fresh for a while, if you play long enough it starts to feel samey though.

    Hades is a very fun game to play for a while before it gets repetitive but not the masterpiece I was expecting.    … Expand

I really like the art style and game play. But what I don't like is how the story is just drip fed to the player. So for me, I just wanted to get back to the game after dying but the game feels like you need to sit through 3 minutes of dialogue of story with multiple characters. I skipped that crap. By the end I didn't care about the plot much. Something about finding your mom? Whatever. I didn't like how it was very RNG to finish characters bond quests. It made things tedious and boring.

    The game play is fun and how you get better weapons over time. But it gets boring after the tenth time or so. I got the platinum in about 80 runs.    … Expand
