this game is awesome, even if after like 20 hours you feel like you need a break. The very next day, or even a few hours later, you want to do the next run. I was playing wow pre patch, then i saw your video and instantly started hades again. Instantly felt that excitement like you just bought a new game and are on the way home. Feels very similar to this, every day. I think that's a game that you can play for years and years, whenever you feel bored you just do one or two runs.
Your experience with the game is pretty representative of mine. It's hard to say that a single aspect of Hades is amazing but all of it put together is still very good quality and very well polished. If I have one complaint it's that some builds, particularly dash attack builds can end up feeling a bit too mindless as you zip around almost button mashing a lot of the time. But that's probably the only complaint I can think of. The story is the one part of the game that I would call amazing. Not because of the quality, which again is very good but doesn't rival games I'd consider to have the best stories. But it's amazing in how it's delivered to the player and how it accompanies gameplay. Having a decent and very well presented story be the reward for spending time with the game has motivated me to play Hades more than any other Roguelike. The voice work is similarly amazing in volume and context, with voice lines for fucking everything. I played the game in early access and the game contained voice lines up to the quality of the finished product with cleverly written explanations or jokes communicating that the game wasn't finished whenever you ran into stuff that had yet to be added. They really put effort and polish into every facet of the game.
I don't think the music in Hades is the best Supergiant has done but it's probably the most unique. You've got metal fused with mediterranean folky stuff you could imagine was played millennia ago, fused with fucking SPOOKY GHOST music from a Theremin or similar instrument. And it somehow works.
I haven't seen you this full of energy since the early PoE days lol. Nice review, thanks
Been keeping an eye on this one, thanks for the review, now I want it even more!
