Intense and challenging battles are mixed with amazing characters that populate colorful and lovingly created environments. The tribute words hail and Hades is worth every single one – although we would have liked to have seen more improvements and news alongside the one-year-old Switch version.

Hades remains an absolute must-play modern masterpiece on the Xbox Series X. I’m thrilled to see new ports bring it to a new audience. With a wonderful story, memorable characters, some of the best voice acting around, a stunning soundtrack, variety that keeps things fresh even after dozens of runs, incredibly tight gameplay, and game design, which will allow even those who don’t usually care for roguelites to engage with it, this is a game that every player should try.

Hades is an excellent action game that allows players to find progression even in death. Roguelikes are normally known for their high level of difficulty, but in Hades, the greatest challenge you’ll face is trying to put it down.

Console version of Hades is just a masterpiece as well as PC version. Actually, i can say that Hades is the perfect meaning of a "roguelike action dungeon crawler". Don't miss this game at all.

Hades is a near-perfect Roguelike. The game looks great, plays smoothly, and offers tons of variation. There is no boredom in this game that lets you escape, die and repeat over and over again. You just want to reach the end and after that, you want to do it again and again. There are a few minor details that could have been better, but it doesn't get much better than this.

Hades returned in a very good, albeit predictable, style. This is still a great production, but it is worth knowing that developers do not really take full advantage of the possibilities of new platforms.

Hades is the new standard by which we measure roguelites. A stunningly modern narrative scenario told in bitesize morsels perfectly designed around roguelites, it also manages to have infinitely replayable combat full of constantly changing moves and powers. It demands your skill and a lot of your time, but it rewards you by providing meaning to the grind.

In Hades, you'll die a lot, but this compelling roguelike makes battling out of the underworld a pleasure.

Hades has perfected several elements of the rogue-like genre and does a banging job on the rest. It is, by far, the best game of its type that I’ve played. But don’t let the words “rogue-like” scare you off – it is made in such a way that it is appealing to both fans and non-fans of the genre alike. Hades is a game I firmly believe anyone even remotely interested should play. I guarantee that you won’t regret your time in The Underworld.

Hades is the best Rogue-like on the market. It's only downside is it's genre which will scare away the more casual gamer. Aside from that, everything about Hades is absolutely fantastic.

Hades on PS5 has been my favorite way to play, and I’m excited more people will be able to dive into Hell.

Eleven months after its official release, Hades finally arrives on the consoles of Microsoft and Sony confirming itself as a small masterpiece able to address a much wider audience than you might think considering the genre of belonging.

Hades remains one of the best roguelikes in recent memory regardless of what machine is housing it. As always, the advice ultimately remains the same for those on the fence about the Supergiant Games spin on mythology: go play Hades. Now there's even more ways to do so.

With so many videogames that are totally forgotten a few weeks after their release, it's great to have a title like Hades which has been among the best games of every year since 2018 when it first came out in early access and the home console version continues this winning streak.

If you are a fan of rogue-lites there is absolutely no reason for you to not be playing Hades, and if you aren’t a fan of the genre but enjoy action RPG’s with the above ingredients then you should give this a try. If Hades becomes the gold standard for rogue-lites going forward, then consider me a willing convert and long live the rogue lites!

Hades was an undisputed masterpiece eleven months ago on PC and Nintendo Switch, and it is also confirmed as such in PlayStation and Xbox format. The edition intended for the Sony and Microsoft platforms is in all ways identical to the original, with just appreciable improvements in terms of resolution on the most recent machines, where the glance of 4K is noticeable in exalting the theatrical staging of an ancient Greece very different from the canons and full of personality.

As expected, Hades knocks it out of the park, offering a stellar experience to Xbox players for the first time. It's every bit as incredible as it was a year ago, with punchy combat, an addictive gameplay loop and a cast of characters that prove to be charming and terrifying in the same breath. It's a shame a few frame rate issues sour the experience occasionally, but make no mistake, Hades is absolutely worth your time whether you're a fan of the genre or not.

‎Supergiant Games has very little to prove with Hades in its console version, beyond its performance and optimization. It's not just that he's been nominated for game of the year. It is that this game already managed to massively captivate critics and audiences alike in 2020. If we can add anything, I'd say that Hades evolves in every way every time you play it, both playable and narratively. From what we can highlight the combat, which is the core of the game, is highly satisfying. This is a game you should at least try.‎
