Hades is fun as hell (pun intended). Mechanically, it's the Supergiant title with the most refined gameplay in terms of responsiveness and fast-paced butt-kicking. I was never a fan of roguelikes/lites simply because the idea of repeating the same thing over and over until you got better didn't really appeal to me. Hades changed that perception.

Of course, this was within my expectations when I got the game. I had no doubt that it was going to be really fun with a lot of unique variations to make each run an interesting experience. What surprised me however, was how much the story/character/writing aspect really shines in this game, There are so many fully-voiced dialogue lines between the characters that are discovered each time you progress (or fail to progress) that it's hard to wrap my head around how the devs managed to pull it off without losing their minds. This is probably the roguelike/lite game with the most heart and soul simply because of all the interactions you're able to have. And it's still in Early Access so I'm eagerly looking forward to the updates they have in store for more additions to the story and gameplay.

Supergiant Games, you did it again.
