    Hades is a fantastic game! As someone who enjoys learning about mythological pantheons this game provides in great detail the personalities and backstories of characters within the Greek pantheon. The gameplay itself is rewarding and the visuals are phenomenal. I would say as long as you enjoy the combat style the game has tons of replay value as well. 10/10 great game!

    Hades é um Rogue Like, repetição e dificuldade são a base do jogo, e apesar de ser o meu primeiro jogo no estilo a jogabilidade, os graficos, a história e a trilha sonora me fizeram atravessar o submundo de novo e de novo, eu não consigo apontar defeitos gritantes nesse jogo, nem nada que justifique uma nota menor do que 10.

    Hades, l’indie sviluppato da Supergiant Games che ha conquistato il cuore del pubblico e della critica al suo debutto su Nintendo Switch e PC, è finalmente arrivato anche sulle console casalinghe e oggi siamo qui per parlarvi della versione Xbox Series X.

    La critica internazionale aveva già premiato in lungo e in largo l’incredibile fuga dall’Ade di Zagreus, definito addirittura uno dei migliori titoli del 2020. I motivi di questa spettacolare esplosione di amore per l’indie di Supergiant è dovuta a numerosi fattori, sia ludici che artistici: si parte da una struttura dungeon crawler ispirata al genere dei rogue lite, con una progressione ciclica che spinge il giocatore a ripetere costantemente i vari schemi di gioco crescendo a livello strategico e migliorando le caratteristiche del personaggio per superare tutti i piani del Tartaro; questa struttura appagante e divertente del gameplay viene poi affiancata da un lavoro certosino svolto anche nella direzione artistica e musicale della produzione, affinata da un comparto narrativo pungente e ironico che reinterpreta in salsa pop la mitologia greca.
    Zagreus è il figlio del Signore degli Inferi, Ade, e il suo obiettivo è quello di fuggire dal Tartaro e unirsi alle altre divinità, le quali si riveleranno gli alleati più fedeli del nostro protagonista, pronti a prestare le loro abilità per garantirgli una facilitazione nella sua fuga dai vari piani del Tartaro. Scappare tuttavia non sarà facile e ogni qualvolta il protagonista perirà sotto i colpi di uno dei quattro boss o dei vari mostri in giro per i dungeon, il giocatore dovrà nuovamente ripartire da capo il suo viaggio, pur mantenendo i progressi acquisiti nelle partite precedenti.

    Lo sviluppatore però è riuscito a valorizzare tantissimo anche la cornice di questa avventura, dando ampio spazio alla narrativa e la scrittura dei vari comprimari che accompagneranno o intralceranno la fuga di Zagreus. Il tutto condito da quest secondarie da completare e collezionabili da sbloccare con cu abbellire le varie stanze. Ludicamente parlando Hades è un prodotto incredibile, ricco, sfaccettato e potenzialmente infinito, capace di rivaleggiare con alcune delle più grandi produzioni sul mercato.
    La versione Xbox Series X di Hades da noi provata è semplicemente pazzesca, merito del supporto ai 4K e i 60 fotogrammi al secondo. Tutti i valori produttivi di alto livello che avevamo già apprezzato su Nintendo Switch qui rispendono maggiormente, a partire dalla palette dei colori ancora più brillante grazie all’HDR e una fluidità dei fotogrammi ineccepibile, che non lascia mai spazio a qualche singhiozzo.

    Ma Hades non risplende solo su Xbox Series X e PlayStation 5, ma riesce a dire la sua anche sulle console di vecchia generazione, tagliando la risoluzione a 1080p, ma mantenendo i 60 fotogrammi su PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Il lavoro di ottimizzazione svolto dallo sviluppatore non lascia spazio ad incertezze tecniche, peccato invece per l’assenza di un sistema di trasferimento dei salvataggi tra le varie piattaforme, che avrebbe contribuito a valorizzare il pacchetto complessivo.

    Da segnalare inoltre che Hades è disponibile anche sul servizio in abbonamento Xbox Game Pass, una vera gemma preziosa a disposizione degli abbonati fin dal day one sulle console della famiglia Xbox. E c’è da dire che la natura ciclica della produzione, proprio come altri rogue lite e rogue like, ben si sposa con l’offerta del servizio Microsoft, sempre più goloso per chi cerca esperienze di questo tipo da alternare ai classici tripla A.    … Expand

    First of all, Hades is similar to a roguelike, so it has a mechanic of being challenging and dying repeatedly throughout the game, so after you die you will restart your journey at the beginning of the map, but that won't frustrate you as after die, you he will come back stronger and prepared to try again to escape hell. Memorizing the movements and strategies of each enemy, which are varied and each with a different combat strategy, and then using it against them is very rewarding and fun. Zagreus' movement is exceptional, being very fluid and polished, the game's combat system is another thing that stands out: Having six different weapons to use, it allows a wide variety of strategic possibilities to beat the levels. And these possibilities increase even more with the blessings of the gods, where each god in the Greek pantheon will allow a different style of play, as each of them offers blessings with different attributes: You can choose to poison your enemies with Dionysus' blessings, or make them weaker and more susceptible to damage with Aphrotide's blessings, or maybe even using Demeter's blessings to freeze them. Finally, the number of possibilities that the zagreus has to escape from hell is enormous, which contributes a lot to motivate him to always return to the path to the gates of hell. But hades not only stands out for its gameplay, the story it tells is extremely captivating, each new character you meet on your journey has a different personality and is very interesting. Each god has a different personality and way of behaving, each with its own charm. As you die and go your way again, you'll meet them again, unlocking a new dialogue that will help you understand more about the character's history, giving you one more reason to keep playing, even if you've already escaped hell. And the last thing I would like to highlight about this game is the soundtrack which is very good and fully corresponds to all stages of the game.

    In short, Hades is a must-have title for fans of roguelike, and also for those who aren't a fan of the style, as it manages to captivate the player in several ways to keep playing: it has a fluid form, understandable gameplay, a huge variety of ways to escape from hell, a captivating and interesting story and characters and an amazing soundtrack.

    Finally, my score for Hades couldn't be anything other than 10, one of the best games I've ever played.    … Expand

Es un juego más completo y complejo de lo que parece. Si te gustan los juegos rogue-like, Hades te va a encantar. Si nunca has jugado a este tipo de juegos, te recomiendo que empieces con Hades, pero ten una buena mentalidad y asimila que vas a morir muchas veces. De lo contrario, no vas a poder disfrutar de un título excelente.

    Loved the flexibility of playing on the TV and transferring in seconds my progress to continue on my pc.
    This flexibility is imperative when you have a common TV situation.

    Great addictive game, both fulfilling and with infinite replaylability

    Hades has a cool idea, and the characters are really lovable and alive, though it is just a glorified grind without much payoff.

You can collect an item to level up your relationships with other characters, and I was very excited to see what would happen when I did, though I beat the final boss before anything did happen. Then the game tells you to do it again and again for the 'real' ending. Even playing 3 hours more I didn't make progress with any characters, you don't even know if you'll find that item out there, or if the character you want to talk to will even be around!

    The combat is that serviceable and then bland feeling Supergiant combat with that same Deviantart.com art style. The music is the same bland music they always have.

    You feel addicted to wanting to upgrade your relationships, home, and character, and the combat to do it feels like a bland and stressful slog, as it is often a gangbang-bullethell game.    … Expand

    definitely for few to finish (I didn't make it myself), but the experience of always wanting more from Hades and for all it has to offer is what makes it not just another game, but one of the best of the decade.

    There is a lot to like about this game: The gameplay is great, the character designs are good and the story is pretty decent. Why then the 6? The GRINDING, the endless grinding! I know that that is part of the game, get a little stronger, die, start back at the beginning, die again, etc. If I was maybe younger with fewer outside responsibilities, I might have had the patience for this.There is a lot to like about this game: The gameplay is great, the character designs are good and the story is pretty decent.

But doing the same thing over and over and OVER to get a tiny bit stronger is not something that appeals to me now. If you have a lot of spare time to work on this game, you'll probably like it. But,if your time is limited and you have to choose how you spend it carefully, this may end up being more tiresome and frustrating than fun.… Expand

    Fantastic game that has many layers to its gameplay. It has much more depth than i thought it would, and I can see that being overwhelming at first. As you keep playing and keep dying, you’ll find this game continues to get better and better.

    Good game. I liked the plot very much. Wonderful self-irony from the developers. There are disadvantages - there is little variety of builds. Monster shields are a very bad decision. It looks like they were trying to quickly figure out how to raise the difficulty.

    The game is incredibly polished, interesting mechanics, interesting story. A lot of different dialogues with the characters and all of them perfectly translated (also the humor is translated to another country), I played the version with Polish subtitles. The character development is very interesting, you want to try again and again. One of the best Rouge Like I've played.

En general Hades es un sobresaliente pero se ve lastrado por la aleatoriedad de sus azarosos power ups que recoger, dando a veces "runs" que terminan en saco roto por pura mala suerte lo que deja a uno pensando si el tiempo invertido ha servido para algo o no, algo muy negativo en un título como este. También me hubiesen gustado más zonas que explorar de las que hay, quedándose algo corto con una última zona bastante mala respecto a las anteriores. No obstante lo demás es una maravilla y funciona tan bien que asusta, Hades es lo que un videojuego debe de ser: diversión, buena jugabilidad y rejugable como pocos.… Expand

    Beautiful to die for, enjoyable to take in hand and terribly addictive, Hades only sins by its structure identical to each run which may displease some. In return, it offers a gripping story carried by a Greek pantheon more charismatic than ever and a perfectly brought together narrative.

    Hades is a near-perfect Roguelike. The game looks great, plays smoothly, and offers tons of variation. There is no boredom in this game that lets you escape, die and repeat over and over again. You just want to reach the end and after that, you want to do it again and again. There are a few minor details that could have been better, but it doesn't get much better than this.

    Based on all the praise and awards Hades has received over the past year, the bar was set pretty high, some might say as high as Mount Olympus (I had to include one bad pun, sorry). I’ve tried to set this aside as I played the game and write this review, but it’s been difficult. Hades is a great game, and I feel safe saying that it’s in the upper echelon of roguelike/lite games, but in the end, I think there are a handful of issues that hold it back from being immortal (sorry, one more).
