    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

    This game is impressively splendid, if it wasn’t for gamepass I wouldn’t even give it a shot, story is great, gameplay is absolutely perfect, it runs smooth in S|X and also great for cloud gaming, 9/10 for me because I wish there were more scenarios other than Tartarus, Asphode and Elysium but still the replayability is good and I came back for more and more, this game is a masterpiece

    I'm excited to see where they could take this with Hades 2, because I do think there's a few improvements that could be made that would improve the game, lots of cool things they could do with future games in the series.    … Expand

    I can not reccomend this game enough. It is the best game of its genre I have played and probably one of the best games I have played in a long time. Sound, art, and dialog are amazing. Progression is fluid and rewarding and the challange is just right. Should have gotten more rewards than it did.

    For the first few runs, I was frustrated, as I didn't feel like I was making any progression, I kept on getting to the first boss and dying hopelessly. When you push through, there's an incredible game though. I got absolutely hooked on both story and gameplay and have now done over 60 runs with over 10 finishes. It's worth getting to at least 10 finishes, try it.

Each time you fail you get more stronger as you progress.

    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

    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).
