"The roguelike for people that don't like roguelike"

Hades excels where a lot of other games in the genre don't. Having an absurd amount of character dialogue and narrative, it provides you with a motive and large variety of ways to play right off the bat which helps sustain the pacing as the game keeps evolving with new content.
I don't think it can maintain the same pace in the late game but it still manages to hold on, you're in for quite a grind if you're trying to see everything the game has to offer.
Also some people might find MC annoying as he often talks to himself and the main plot can be quite cliché but thankfully it didn't bother me.
