As someone who never played a Roguelike game before, I was a bit hesitant before playing Hades.
Hades is my first Roguelike game and I gotta say... that was a hell of an experience!
Simply put, Hades is addictive; I couldn't put the controller down at times because it's so goddamn fun to play. There are so many different upgrades and builds to keep the gameplay fresh in every run, and the difficulty is extremely balanced. If you find yourself in trouble, you can activate God Mode to make things a bit easier.
Hades' story is surprisingly intriguing and it has a satisfying conclusion.
The characters are fantastic because they're very likable and diverse; the portrayal of the Gods is wonderful.
The art style is amazing and it feels fluid, and the music is awesome.
Also, the attention to detail, the amount of different dialogue and the side-events in Hades keep the game captivating consistently.
Lastly, the most fascinating thing about Hades is how it utilizes the concept of Roguelike games; dying in Hades is not only a part of the progression system, but it's a part of the narrative as well.
Ok, so what about the flaws? Well, normally there's no such thing as flawless videogame, however... I really don't have anything negative to say about Hades.
