The latest game from Supergiant, and I continue to love everything this studio makes. To give you an idea of how addicting this game is and how much I enjoyed playing it, I finished almost everything the game has to offer, and stopped playing it at just shy of five days worth of playtime. The combat in this game is polished to a shine, and all the different combinations of weapons and abilities granted by the various Greek gods keep each run feeling fresh enough to make you want to keep going. While the story is probably my least favorite of the four Supergiant games, the way they pace out the story between your runs through the underworld keeps you wanting to play more, either to see the next story beat, or to try out a new build on your next run. I typically don’t go for roguelike games, because I always thought that the procedural generation of the levels make them lose some uniqueness, as you quickly learn all the components and they stop surprising you. I don’t think Hades completely got rid of that feeling in me, but the core gameplay loop was just so much fun that it didn’t matter, and I was compelled to keep going anyways.
