~~Game Description~~
Hades is a roguelike action role-playing video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2020, which followed an early access release from December 2018.
Players control Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape from Underworld to reach Mount Olympus, at times aided by gifts bestowed on him from the other Olympians. Each run challenges the player through a random series of rooms populated with enemies and rewards. The game has a hack and slash combat system; the player uses a combination of their main weapon attack, dash power, and magic ability to defeat them while avoiding damage to progress as far as possible. While Zagreus will often die, the player can use gained treasure to improve certain attributes or unlock new weapons and abilities to improve chances of escaping on subsequent runs.
Hades was developed following Supergiant’s Pyre, a game in which they wanted to explore procedural narrative storytelling, but due to the nature of the main gameplay, found that players did not play through Pyre multiple times to explore this. The roguelike structure of Hades gave them the opportunity to tell these branching stories to the player over the course of multiple runs. Hades received critical acclaim for its gameplay and narrative and won numerous awards, including game of the year from several publications.

First
23:04 Poseidon's knock away effects are good for dealing wall slam damage, which can be increased with his Typhoon's Fury boon (you deal more damage – at least +200%, depending on the rarity – when slamming foes into barriers). Granted, bosses can't be knocked away, so that diminishes his utility. Still, Poseidon's duo boon with Zeus (Sea Storm) is nothing to sneeze at (people normally use it with melee weapons), since a single attack with it can potentially trigger (if you have all required boons) Ruptured 2x (Second Wave + Razor Shoals), Lightning 4x (triggered by the first attack via Sea Storm, by Second Wave via Sea Storm, and 2x by Double Strike if you're lucky enough), Jolted 4x (Static Discharge), and Bolt 8x (from the Splitting Bolt boon; 1x/each Lightning/Jolted effect). Also, that works against bosses, even if they're not knocked away.
