“If you like 2.5D games and haven’t played Hades yet… what are you even doing? You play as Zagreus, prince of the Underworld, whose main goal is simple: leave. The problem? The Underworld has a strict “no exit” policy,…”
“fun game but couldnt really care less about the story. Good to play when you are bored or watching something in the background. Really cool visuals and fun/interesting gameplay”
“Nothing more can really be said about Hades; I have nothing new to add. Everyone knows it's an incredible game. Undoubtedly one of the best I've ever played. Supergiant Games are in a class of their own amongst both…”

“I haven't been locked into a game for its challenge aspect in a long time. That's not to say it's difficult, rather it is very approachable. Fast-paced, every run is varied and unique. I'm late to Hades and wanted to…”
“Hades was my first time properly getting into a roguelike, and honestly, it completely sold me on the genre. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but the way the game is designed just makes everything click. Dying…”
“One of the best roguelikes I’ve played—fast, satisfying combat with tons of build variety that keeps every run feeling fresh. The story and characters are surprisingly deep, and the art and music are top-tier. Dying…”

“It's insane how much gring is in this game. You grind everything, story, weapons, music, decor. You name it and you can be sure you will grind. It's way too long and repetitive for what it is, every run is the same, the…”
“Good game, but not for everyone, too repetitive, they are aware of it, but they made the game change with the same enemies and scenarios. Im playing because i cant get a refund, only buy it if you really want to play…”
“8,5/10 Its a hack and slash with a satisfying feel to it, the movement feels natural and is thought out well. I wish they would have added some more maps (ways out) for more variation. Normally I dont play games like…”

“I went into Hades expecting a fun roguelike, but ended up getting addicted to “just one more run” for hours. The combat feels insanely smooth, every weapon has its own personality, and the progression never feels wasted even when you fail. What surprised me most was the story.…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“In short, this masterpiece is about fighting a drunken father who won't let you go anywhere, searching for a mother who realized you were playing Dota and left the family, or how to become a mutant teenager at 15. I started playing Hades expecting a fun roguelike, but ended up…”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“There's not much to talk about this. It's simply one of the best Roguelite games ever. Btw I thought Hades should be the protagonist, the same goes for Zelda :D. I have been wondering why did 2 those games have the name like this. May anyone explain to me :D”
