I haven't really played rogue-likes before. It's not my genre of game. I went into this game having seen some gameplay in trailers and thinking "Oh. That looks really cool." Then I started seeing it raking up award after award and I was like "Ok, now I really have to give this a try."
This is hands down one of the best games I've ever played in my life. No contest.
Hades is abnsolutely addicting. The artwork is outstanding and emthralling. The voice acting is impeccable with such a small cast. The story is deep and compelling; there's still new dialogue I'm reading/hearing after 200+ hours and I've had my jaw hit the floor from twists or details several times. The music is wonderful and engaging. The action is constant and manic, yet you know exactly what's going on at all times. The main character is likeable! That's big for me. I actually give a care about him, his goals, his connections and his story. And best of all, the idea that once an encounter is done that you have another room ahead is actually where the game pulls you in.
Each encounter you clear presents you with loot or power-ups to either help you with your escape or boost your stats for later. But you're presented with multiple pathways to the next encounters with a reveal of what you get in the next room which forces you to think and plan ahead for what you need. It engages you to prioritize and learn as you play, which is how a masterpiece should be.
Hades is just that. A masterpiece. If this isn't a genre you've liked or played before, it doesn't matter. This game should be in your library. It's a game that should never, ever get a sequel because on its own, it is filled to the brim with story, charm and action. Stop reading my rambling and get this into your collection immediately. It deserves every single award it has won.
Hades is the best game to exist in the last decade, bar none. Get it.
