Hades
The Roguelike That Changed Everything
9.4/ 10
Hades does something no roguelike has managed before — it makes dying feel like progress. The narrative weaves seamlessly into the loop, with every failed escape revealing more about Zagreus and the gods of Olympus. The combat is tight, responsive, and endlessly varied thanks to the boon system. Supergiant have crafted a game where every single element — art, music, voice acting, gameplay — operates at the highest level. An essential experience.
