The best roguelike ever made, hands-down. Hades adds an entirely unique spin on the genre by having every single run enhance and progress everything around you. They enhance the characters, improve relationships, add depth to the history of the world, progress the story, gives you the ability to change and improve the abilities of your character, and modify the aesthetic of your House. The story is great, giving interesting interpretations of the entire Greek Pantheon and many connected mythological figures. It was a joy to speak to every character, and the dialogue is wonderfully written. As with most roguelikes, the end is never the end. Hades has post-game content, post-post-game content, and post-post-post-game content. Even after you completely drain the story dry, there are hundreds of unique dialogue options still to be found from side content, missions, relationships, and upgrades. It took me 400 hours to 100% this game, so you will not run out of things to do for a very long time. The roguelike combat itself is great. It feels very intuitive and smooth, and all of the different combinations of powers, weapons, and boons allow for each run to feel entirely unique. The whole game is masterfully crafted, both in gameplay and story. A must-play for any roguelike fan.

Hades is, without a doubt, one of the best games in its genre. What stands out the most is the sheer amount of possibilities in combat thanks to the combinations of weapons, blessings, and items you can choose from in each run. Each time you play, you improve and discover new synergies, making it very addictive and varied. The characters are very well developed and have tons of interactions, although they are sometimes somewhat random. This can make completing certain parts of the story or unlocking specific dialogues a little slower than expected. However, the base game is just long enough to keep you engaged without feeling too short or too long. Highly recommended for fans of roguelikes and action games!

If anything about "isometric hack-'n-slash roguelite" appeals to you, you should play this game. - The controls are simple and responsive with only four different buttons you need in combat other than movement. Despite their simplicity, they make comboing and animation-canceling satisfying. The gameplay is fast-paced and provides a lot of room for skill expression. - There's a wide variety of weapons which all bring something unique to the table; no two of them feel the same. Most of them feel good to use, too, with clean attack animations and clear hitboxes. The exception for me is , which I think feels kind of clunky because of how long you're locked into the attack animation, and it lacks stagger on hit. It's still fun, though, and I can just avoid using it because you're never required to pick a certain weapon. - There are plenty of different enemies, which all have their own strengths while feeling fair to fight. It's easy to tell most of the enemy types apart, other than a few that are palette-swaps. - The powerup choices given to players during escape attempts are meaningful and diverse. The boon system is intuitive and pairs well with the weapons, and Daedalus hammers provide interesting playstyle changes. Some boons are clearly stronger than others (looking at you, deflect dash), but there's usually some situation or synergy that can make a boon worth taking. - The metagame progression feels nice, too. Mirror upgrades and keepsakes are powerful and diverse (if you haven't noticed yet, the theme of this review is "options, options, options"), but you don't need to grind for all of them to escape the Underworld. I also like . - The sound design is excellent. The sound effects are distinct and make it easy to track what's happening, and the music pulls together the whole "Greek mythology with a touch of modern aesthetic" theme. - The cast of characters is memorable, if a bit cliche, but that's par for the course with mythology. Yahtzee said in his Zero Punctuation review that the voice acting "sounds like it's all coming from very sexy people," which I think is dead-on--at first I found the soft and occasionally oddly sultry way that some of the characters speak to be a little weird, but it's definitely unique and contributes to the somewhat-moody, fire-lit atmosphere and charm. I'm still playing the game long after the credits have rolled to see what happens in the characters' subplots (even though I already learned in school how most of them go). - decorating the house is fun and Cerberus needs all the toys I can buy don't @ me Overall, this game is great and I only have a few gripes with it. Co-op is the only thing I feel is really missing, but with how tight the gameplay is, I can understand not wanting to compromise that with netcode. There's so much content in this game and all of it fits together into a cohesive and entertaining experience. I recommend this game.

ive never seen a game quite as perfectly made as hades. - the gameplay is smooth and engaging, riveting enough to want to play the game for its own sake - the roguelike aspect of it is balanced amazingly, there are very few boons or items that dont seem like they could be made powerful if you focused a build around them - being only a roguelite, there are some permanent upgrades and you cannot keep the run going forever, but this makes it so that the run never truly gets out of control and loses its gameplay value, and the permanent upgrades make it so that if you feel stuck, you can hopefully push yourself further with more upgrades. - the shop in general is great, ive never seen a cosmetic shop for a SINGLEPLAYER GAME that i so thoroughly enjoyed buying thing out of - this game has the most likeable characterization of any video game character ive ever encountered, its *that* good. its definitely helped by the absolute gargantuan amount of stellar voice acting the game has - the story is something also really well done, but i'll not spoil it here, what i will say is that the game also has a bunch of mini-stories that slowly progress as you play, keeping tings fresh and interesting - the pact of punishment is a perfect way to add difficulty without feeling cheap. the player controls their own difficulty??? thats so cool@!!!! 10/10 good game play it now
