Hades is excellent. Seriously very excellent. A level of excellent that has quickly seen it become one of my favorite games ever.
Top notch combat, a terrific blend of RPG and roguelike qualities, amazing writing, graphics, and music. Hades’ mythological tale of family conflict is just fantastic.
Easily Supergiant’s best work, to the point where I really don’t have a bad thing to say about it. And that’s that!

I love it when Jim loves a game…
What's the title of the song in the beginning of the vid?
This is the most enthusiastic review I've heard in a long, long time. And I absolutely get why. This game makes you feel like a kid discovering videogames again. Those times you couldn't stop playing because they were so, so fun. 5 stars game, 5 stars and heartfelt review.
Why is this game so addictive? I need to see Dusa's storyline to the end, too. Jim, as always, is on point.
I was really on the fence about this game but hearing Jim Sterling's praise for it has very quickly persuaded me to take the plunge into HELL and buy this game. Was able to get it for just $10 on sale on Epic Games Store. Not typically a fan of their store and launcher but for the price to get the game 'Hades' I'm super excited. Sincerely thank you Jim Sterling for your content and honest criticisms of the games industry. Hearing you praise a game still sounds so foreign to me ^.^ but if you love Hades that much then it must be a great game. It's downloading now and I hope to play it into Halloween for some spooky hell vibes.
I am so happy Supergiant Games finally get the recognition they deserve. You lot enjoyed Hades ? Go play Bastion, Transistor and Pyre. Awesome games and god tier OST ^^
Cool review, nothing to add, but one thing to change: The game is a rogue-lite by the Copenhagen definition. It is inspired by the features, but not compliant which would make it a "roguelike". Pretty good and clear defined terms.
Me at a Dionysus party: Where are the human sacrifices?
Cyberpunk hasn’t come out yet
Yep, bought it and loving it. Thanks for another great recommendation Jim!
Edit: awesome into song, just listened to the full version.
First time i beat Hades and saw the first ending I actually cried. Truly special game
I’ve always been iffed by rougelike games, and especially random generation. I’ve tried enter the gungeon and OG Binding of Isaac and I didn’t enjoy them. The only game that it has really worked for me is Minecraft, if you count that. The idea of dying and restarting over and over scares me, especially because each level is randomly generated. What if the rng keeps making bad levels that always work against you? I do want to try Hades though. Super Giant games have always eluded me so hopefully this will be the game that wins me over.
Further proof that all games with fishing minigames are the best.
Did this man just say he played through to the credits and give game of the year to hades while still thinking the objective is to get to Olympus????
I never watch game reviews, but I've been playing non stop for days and it's so amazing that if I can't be playing right now (because I have to eat on order to keep living and thus play more) then I'm gonna listen to somebody talk about how amazing this game is, I just love gushing about things I love and to hear others gush about them too
FACT!
Apparently it's not good enough to come to Xbox. So frustrating I just want to play this game on the console I've already invested money into.
Highly entertaining review. XD
I really want to play it! Thanks Jim<3
This may just be my favorite game ever.
Fishing spot = dumb
Game is perfect. Thanks for review Jim.
Zeus gives you the power of Promiscuity.
Hadees gonna hade.
It´s my game of the year too. Solid quality allround, polished in every aspect, superb artwork… a game that understands fun.
The character designs ALONE in this game are NEXT-FUCKING-LEVEL.
Even 'Dusa! A floating head!
To say nothing about the stellar writing and in-universe, diagetic storytelling and HOLY SHIT, it also happens to play incredibly well!
After a month of hearing people hype this game up, I finally bought it today. So far, it is really damn good.
Bought it cause of you and it did not disappoint.
I actually thought you were being sarcastic when talking about Athena’s boons (I’m autistic and have a hard time picking up on sarcasm), but after playing the game several times, I now know that you were being completely sincere.
This and dead cells are just peak rouguelites both itch the same scratch for me and I go in between them for hours
It’s on sale! It has easily become one of my favorite games of all time. Can’t…stop…playing!
I started this video and just had to stop it immediately. Jim loves it, and said it was like Children of Morta in progression style. Enough said, gotta play it and then I'll finish the video after. Hah!
Most boring and repetitive grindfest I've seen in a while.
Art direction is great, but as a game this is awful.
13:30 you can carry a mouse with you but I don’t think there is a visual effect shown with it
While this isn’t quite my game of the year (sorry but LOU2 effected more than anything game I’ve ever played) however I will say that objectively, hades is one of the few “perfect” games out there. This game does everything I can think of greatly, and that’s a achievement not my GOTY but a close second.
i wanted to have a game where i could let out my stress and be gay at the same time
and i found it
I have so much to say about this game but seriously the fact that its only $25…. i could never have imagined how good it was going to be when i bought it. I'm going through reviews just to hear people compliment it bc its SO GOOD
That lovely Epic Athena dash on 13:36
When you get it, you know this attempt could be the one
8:45 why doesn't he get an aiming reticle when using the bow? Is that the 4th aspect?
