Hades

Hades | Perfect Game Review
(100% Completion at 72 Hours)

I picked up Hades because fans of the rogue-lite subgenre wouldn’t shut up about how top-tier it is. Now I’m one of them, raving about this brilliant escape simulator where dying is just part of the journey. Plus, I’ve always been a sucker for Greek mythology, so this game was basically irresistible.

Gameplay: With many weapons, keepsakes, and boons offering diverse playstyles and synergies, you could be dashing through enemies with twin fists one playthrough, and desperately kiting a room with an automatic rifle the next. No matter how your run plays out, this highly satisfying, fast-paced rogue-lite will pull you back for more. ★★★★★

Graphics: The game presents a visual feast worthy of the gods. From the molten glow of Asphodel to the scenic paradise of Elysium, every detail bursts with colour and personality. And let’s be real—everyone in this game is unfairly attractive (even Skelly, somehow). ★★★★★

Sound: The music in Hades contains a variety of blood-pumping battle themes and soothing melodies, and the voice acting is equally stellar, bringing every character to life with charm and personality. That said, in a fast-paced rogue-lite, there comes a point where you might start mashing through paragraphs of dialogue just to get back to the action. ★★★★☆

Story: The witty, character-driven storytelling in Hades keeps things engaging, and watching Zagreus’ many relationships evolve is just as fun as battling through the Underworld. However, the narrative doesn’t quite reach the level of high-stakes drama or thought-provoking themes found in other story-driven games. ★★★★☆

Replayability: Just like any decent rogue-lite game, replayability in Hades is near-infinite. Between various builds, difficulty modifiers, and side quests, the game makes sure there’s always something new to try. ★★★★★

Final Thoughts: If you’re like me and obsessed with Greek mythology, Hades is a must-play as it brings the gods to life with stellar voice acting and gorgeous visuals. Whether you’re tearing through enemies with an absurd build or getting roasted by Hades (the god of the dead) for the hundredth time, Hades (the game) is a hellishly addictive experience you won’t want to put down.

Overall Rating: 9/10, would defy the god of the dead and then die again, and again, and again…

Hades stands not only as the finest, most well-crafted game from the exceedingly talented developers at Supergiant but as one of the pinnacles of the genre.
If you never looked at rogue-likes seriously before due to differences in personal tastes and what you believe that they represent, this might be the very title to change your mind.
Live. Die. Repeat.
10/10

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!

Hades is a roguelike, which means that each attempt at playing the game will be unique. After death, Zagreus returns to his father's palace where he can upgrade his abilities, acquire new weapons, and receive advice from other characters. This allows players to gradually become stronger and better understand the game mechanics.
The combat system in Hades is very dynamic and diverse. You have access to different types of weapons, each with unique attacks and abilities. Additionally, you can use divine gifts that temporarily enhance your characteristics or provide new capabilities.
Visually, Hades looks simply stunning. A bright color palette, stylized characters, and animation create an unparalleled atmosphere of Greek epic. The music also deserves special mention—it perfectly matches the mood of the game and helps immerse you into the world of ancient gods and heroes.
Hades is an excellent game that combines engaging gameplay, a deep storyline, and a magnificent visual style. It suits both fans of roguelikes and those interested in Greek mythology. If you're looking for a game that can keep you entertained for hours, Hades is an excellent choice.

This game is seriously fun.
Finally after completing all achievements in this game, I can say Hades is one of the best games I ever played (if not the best) whose replayability never gets boring. This game follows rogueslike pattern and has a really nice plot to boot.
The visuals of this game is why I even bothered to try it in the first place. I started this game after I played Hades 2 and somewhat managed to understand it. Levelling up in Hades is way more intuitive than Hades 2 imo but that falls under a game that has not even been completed yet and this review is about Hades so I will stick to this game.
The soundtracks of this game is something you will want to save in your playlists. All of them are excellent bangers created by Darren Korb and they compliment the fast paced action of this game.
If I had to complain about one thing, its the nature of this game itself (but that's subjective and it doesn't mean it wasn't fun for me). The random power ups mean that you cannot use a fixed set of builds for yourself all the time and sometimes you will end up with really bad powerup combinations. Normally I am against rng in almost any game, but the randomization is also why there are so many possible varieties of builds that sometimes perform unexpectedly well.
All in all, this game has fun combat mechanics, excellent soundtracks, one of the best visuals out there, fun levels and environment, runs well and almost no bugs. This game gives value for every single buck.
