    Too short though, a few rooms, that don't vary much from each other and the game it's over. Difficulty curve is too high, it expects you to spend hours repeating and repeating the same things without much variety.    … Expand

    One of my favourite games of all time. I love the gameplay and the story. Can't wait for the sequel.

    Damn this games great. You like Roguelites. This game feels like the ultimate Roguelite, and it has a very interesting power system in the boons. I can quarantee you'll like something about it, whether its the gameplay, the many systems or the story. go play it.

    Hades es uno de los mejores Roguelike que he jugado, un género que no me gusta nada me frustra y termino cansado enseguida, sin embargo, Hades logra lo que pocos con un gameplay muy adictivo (es un peligro lo adictivo que es) y una puesta en escena espectacular con un apartado artístico marca de la casa (amo a Supergiant Games), un gameplay perfecto, unos personajes memorables, unaHades es uno de los mejores Roguelike que he jugado, un género que no me gusta nada me frustra y termino cansado enseguida, sin embargo, Hades logra lo que pocos con un gameplay muy adictivo (es un peligro lo adictivo que es) y una puesta en escena espectacular con un apartado artístico marca de la casa (amo a Supergiant Games), un gameplay perfecto, unos personajes memorables, una rejugabilidad perfecta, una BSO increíble, una variedad de armas soberbia con multitud de builds para cada una, un repertorio maravilloso de enemigos y una sensación de que ninguna partida es igual que la anterior. 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

    Yeah this version isn’t good. It isn’t well optimized at all, it’s rather embarrassing the performance issues this has compared to the other versions. PS5 runs the game way better, just like PC does. Don’t buy it on this.

    Un roguelike con su propio estilo muy entretenido y con una banda sonora espectacular.

    Большое открытие для меня. Не большой фанат рогаликов, но эта игра меня поразила, идеально почти всё.

    Любителям вечно умирать и не сдаваться - рекомендую.

    Good Game I don’t like rogue likes normally but it has an interesting story and the gameplay feels a lot less repetitive than lots of other games in that genre.

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

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

    My first experience with an Xbox Anywhere game.
    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

    I thought it would be very boring to do the same things all over again, but I played the game for hours without getting bored. The game play, the story is really awesome.

    Now this was awesome. Was going to give it an 8 but the journey to actually beating it was phenomenal. How I went from no way, to actually doing it. Super addictive, fun. Overall awesome game.

    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.

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. 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

    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!

    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.

    Um ótimo jogo, ótima gameplay, o design de personagens é perfeito, o fator replay é bom, mas sinto que estou caminhando sem sair do lugar, mesmo tendo chegado bem longe durante algumas idas e vindas no submundo

    Addicting gameplay, a good story, memorable characters, a striking art style, great soundtrack, deep progression and customization, etc. Hades really is the full package, and honestly puts a majority of full priced games to shame.

    This game is absolutely stunning. Enjoying every single minute of it. It has been a long time since I played a game that gave so much fun. Every run is different, endless combinations of boons. Amazing game, highly recommend.

    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).
