Hades review
Exceptional
by Darragh

The best roguelike ever made. Completely confident and fun and it somehow found a way to approach the roguelike genre with more than a one-note story. It's a game that pushes me to keep attempting to escape from hell and then rewarding me even for the most pitiful attempts with permanent upgrades and new story events and character moments. And everytime you hurl yourself out the window with weapon in hand you learn a little more and never feel unrewarded for your time.

One of a kind roguelike. Super challenging, great energy, never boring.

I think what makes it  different from other rouge like games I played it’s that, it’s less random. The gods’ boons are very clear and distinct, and they have their characteristics. It also has a story that drive me to know more about it, and the first escape is quite touching. However it gets boring after repetitive plays. I really like using the metaphor of roguelike games as the myth of Sisyphus
This is a great game!

Best game I've played since breath of the wild. The fun factor is absolutely tops, art is crazy attractive, voice acting makes the game, and even though I die 100 times I want to do just one more run. Can't recommend enough!

Protagonist is hot with a hot voice.
This is probably the most 10/10 game I ever played. Everything is quality. Visuals, sound design, gameplay, story, characters....Everything!

Once you start understanding the mechanics, you're hooked. Its a nice touch  to keep the player engaged with the random drops for the boons and shop items and you gotta keep tweaking to put yourself in the best position. After running through the final three or four times, I lost interest. Was very fun though.
8.5/10
