Ha, this one will take a looot of time. I'm not sure how you are planning to 100% this one, as it's suuuuper RNG.
Morning man! Good game. I never got massively into it, in fact I never beat it. Make sure you pet cerberus 10 times for a achievement
I am looking forward to the 100% review in 2024.
Incredible game, so addictive and only gets better the more you play
I think this game is incredible. I very much enjoyed completing it. One of my absolute favorites in years and I really look forward to the sequel.
This game is a masterpiece, have fun with it ✌️
This game is fire. Ive played 200h+ and is still super fun/challenging
The style of the game is not for me i dont really like it.
everyone around admired Hades as a roguelike, but playing it after The Binding of Isaac, it's obvious how far behind Hades is. It's certainly not a bad game as an action-story game, but as a roguelike there are several games head and shoulders above Hades.
Roguelites sre so boring.
One of the only rogue-likes that utilizes the genre tropes to help tell its story. 10/10
I would highly recommend playing Hades with a controller. I almost always play games with keyboard and mouse, but this games just feels and plays so much better with a controller.
And resource director doesn't count for 100% … It just doesn't.
Great video! I really enjoyed this game for about 40-50hrs but the rng eventually killed the experience for me. Just became frustrating knowing I wasn’t getting good matching boons so I couldn’t progress as far. Especially when the bosses become harder and harder. Overall a great game for the time I played though.
Getting all achievements is around 100-150 hours, but 100%-ing the game is a lot more. The completionist broke down and gave up, as it is a lot of grinding. Take my advice as a fan of the game who has platinumed it – don't try to review after 100%. 🙂
My 2021 GOTY
oh nice great choice.
Hope you do Celeste and Hollow Knight as well as Crosscode
May you wander in wisdom, and have an amazing day
Hades is such an enigma to me. I despise the characters since they're the epitome of American millennial culture, and I hate how the game is pretty much balanced around certain mirror upgrades so players think they're slowly getting better when really they're just chipping away at an artificial difficulty wall placed in their way by the devs to give them the illusion of improvement, and once they get past that point it's basically impossible to not get a clear. But at the same time, I just 100%ed it for the 3rd time a few days ago, with something like 400+ hours played across PC, PS4, and PS5 🤷♂️
Well, these first impressions are certainly long overdue…
Loved that game. Couldnt 100% it because I couldnt get the story beats for the Nyx achievement.
Over 200 hours in. bit mad but dont regret the time spent.
Supergiant don't miss
100% is gonna be tough and hell of a grind ^^
One of my favourite games. I've done all achievements, heat 40 but didn't manage to beat Hades in first possible run. In a genre which I don't play often.
RNG is not that bad. I think if you want to play up to heat 30 it is not a problem as there are a lot of ways to boost Zagreus and change his boons, that you can always beat Hades.
Boring tbh
I heard great things about this game, and I played Bastion and Transistor beforehand (both often go on sale very cheap). Not sure I really gelled with the hack-and-slash top-down combat but they were interesting, and short enough, to keep me sticking around to the end.
With this one, I had a quick go just to see what it was like, and again not sure how I feel about the combat, but also I have found recently that I'm not sure Rogue-likes are my thing. I much prefer something that's laid out and you can plan your approach. I guess it's like the difference between improv and scripted theatre (of which I always preferred the latter). So I'm not sure if I'd like this for 20+ hours as opposed to the 6-ish hours of their previous games.
Returnal is quite similar to this, I think, in terms of its systems and gameplay loop, and I bounced off that one after a couple hours – though that was partly due to the visuals being quite harsh on the eyes. Would be interested to see how you feel about it though.
Little late to the party on this one man lol.
Another suggestion: Pyre. Really good game from Supergiant, with elements of RPG and a lot of choices, variable of outcomes, depending on your performance during the Rites. Sorry for bad english(not native)
This is a slickly polished, and fun game to play. Even in the few hours I spent with it, the quality and craft of it was obvious. And I did enjoy it. But it's too twitchy for me to be any good at. There's a reason I stick to strategy games, CRPGs, and turn-based games. Once the button mashing becomes frantic, I'm out. 😛
After you unlock god keepsakes you can basically force any combinations of stuff you want in any run. Late game suffers from low RNG if you abuse all systems that you have.
But yeah overall it is a magnificent experience with unique storytelling and engaging combat
I really like this game, but my potato can't run it properly even if it passes the recommended specs. Makes the higher heat levels very frustrating when it's stuttering all the time and frames are dropping to sub-20. I might revisit it if I ever manage to acquire funds to buy a decent PC.
Hades is very fun 100hours will definitely fly by in flash.
