I'm not normally one to make reviews, but even with the small amount of time I have put in this game I feel as though I need to make a review on this. I am 100% not a fan of the roguelike genre. Not that I hate it or anything, it's just that I'm not a fan of constantly having to restart without making any progress in my overall playthrough, and I've always kind of felt discouraged from continuing in other games. However, Hades is different.

This game doesn't punish you for dying and having to restart, in fact it rewards you, and I'm not even entirely sure you can beat the game without having to die once (I'm sure someone could probably prove me wrong considering the fact I'm not great at beating games) since you learn more story and features to help you in escaping the Underworld after dying and being sent back to your home. There are tons of collectables that help you increase your stats, and give you other perks, at a pretty steady pace so you don't feel as though you're not making any impact, while also not making it seem like you barely have to work for it. The voice acting and music are also amazing, but that's not surprising coming from Supergiant.

Basically, this game is the perfect game for both roguelike fans and non fans. It's super fun and has a very interesting and compelling story and I 100% recommend you try it out if you have $25 to buy something worthwhile.
