Excellent game and the best rogue-like I've ever tried with a greater incentive to keep retrying and improving as the game has a great sense of progression after every run. The combat is really fun and the boons offer so much variety with each run that I just had a lot of fun expirimenting with different weapon types and boon effects for different attacks to see what would be most effective. It did feel like some boons and weapons were way more powerful than others but as I got better I learnt how to take better advantage of the others. The presentation is simply fantastic with gorgeous environments, awesome character designs and such an immersive world they've built with so much character and an insane amount of dialogue that really makes you feel like you're really experiencing this in Zagreus's shoes making the story all the more resonant. After beating the main story there's still a lot of things to do with more side quests and social links that I'd be down to do if I didn't have other games to play lol.

I did sometimes struggle with the enemies overcluterring the screen/attacking from off-camera which did get annoying and at times playing through the same four areas did get tiring. However all in all Hades was an absolutely superb experience and a fantastic experience that I loved getting through.
