Zagreus really is a god-like (ayyyye) protagonist! Truly a breath of fresh air in comparison to other, edgehead protags out there. He knows how and when to apologize for the bad things he's done and takes no shame in being wrong. He has an open admiration for people in his life like Nyx and Achilles, and he isn't afraid to tell them how much he loves them. He's humble and kind, always helping people and giving them unsolicited gifts, because he knows as a prince his duty is to help the citizens of his realm as best he can. He's also got a great sense of humor! He's always cracking jokes and quipping at random times. Sure, Zagreus has his flaws. He's reckless and hasty, always making decisions without thinking about consequences, he's incredibly stubborn, and is probably just at least a little bit stupid. But none of that detracts from Zagreus' biggest character strength: He's nice, and he likes being nice. He's not ashamed of being a big, soft himbo. He likes being that way! And that's what makes me love him so much 💚
That and, ya know, he just looks cool!
Hades is a fantastic game that quickly rocketed up to one of my top spots for games. Highly recommend to everyone who hasn't played it
