Hades is an exceptional game. It's got a fun gameplay loop, incredible visual design, good animations and a ton of story and dialogue (and it's all voice acted!). Definitely Supergiant's best game to date, and a must-play both for roguelike fans and newcomers to the genre.

Hades introduced excellent storytelling that keeps renewing itself the more you progress in the story, in addition to the spectacular presentation of greek mythology with superb dialogues, all of this combined with memorable soundtracks and amazing art direction that enriched the experience and gamer's attachment to it, this game is a masterpiece created by Supergiant Games and a masterful addition to the Rouge-Like genre.

Hades is an incredibly polished title that excels in every way and proves that the roguelite genre still has plenty of ways to evolve.

If you’ve read this far and aren’t convinced that Hades is a must have on your Switch (or PC, if you prefer) then I’m sorry to inform you’re already dead yourself. Now on their fourth release, Supergiant Games have proven themselves masters of interweaving narrative and gameplay. Though their previous games were rooted more in a singular, linear experience that offered plenty of choices and customizations, they’ve found a way to bring that excessive excellence to a never ending rogue-like.

Hades is an action title that manages to combine different aspects in an exceptional and impressive roguelite adventure. Exploring the Underworld in intense combat is exciting, and each run offers a unique experience because of the different rooms and powers. An extensive variety of content makes the cycle of dying and starting over rewarding, and there are many options to customize the game, such as weapons and alternative skills. The narrative extends intelligently through the runs, and the universe is immersive, with stunning visuals, great voice acting and quality music. In the end, Hades is one of those addictive and difficult-to-drop titles - even though I have escaped several times, I'm still playing and getting surprised with the possibilities.

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.

‎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.‎

To that end, I'm headed back into Hell with a smile. Hades is some of the most fun I've had playing something, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hades throws us into the middle of a family untie, in which the juvenile Priests of the Underworld cringe to know a new world. Supergiant Games offers a packed croissant and one of the most interesting productions of 2020. Play!

Hades is a rare breed of game. Supergiant’s design confidence is almost reflected in the cavalier attitude of the game’s protagonist, Zagreus; capable and arrogant, young and vibrant. But evermore charming as a result. I’ve used the phrase before, but this is absolutely a franchise-in-waiting, and more, if the studio and Private Division were so inclined. But know this, at the very least: those accolades? The ones that kept coming? We’re adding to them -- a year on, and now with a new audience and new homes, Hades is still near-perfect and an absolute must-play. Don’t miss the bus again.

Hades is a complete package. The writing will make you laugh, the gameplay will make you smile, the bosses will frustrate you, and the art will make you stare in awe. All of which combined makes Hades a must-play, and once you start, you won’t want to stop.

Surprise and variety mean no two attempts are ever the same, and for that alone Hades is immediately intoxicating.

Do you know what I’m going to do after writing this review? Play Hades again - for fun. It’s just so damn good. Maybe I’ll be able to escape hell, maybe not, but I’ll be happy to try again.

Whenever I play a new Supergiant title, I always find myself absolutely enthralled with it, transfixed by its visual allure and engaging gameplay. After playing their second title Transistor, I was convinced that they wouldn't be able to top themselves, but I stand corrected. Hades is a perfect amalgamation of everything that makes Supergiant Games one of the best independent developers out there, with a killer gameplay loop, heartfelt story, and writing that will have you hinging on every single word. This game deserves all the attention it's getting and more, and I implore you to play it for yourself.

Supergiant Games has reached a new pinnacle of its craft with Hades, and I can now count the number of rogue-like games I enjoy on one finger. Even pushing to get through it for this review, I never felt bored or frustrated. The game doesn't have a single real flaw. It's not the perfect game for every single gamer, but if you enjoy an experience that rewards skill and has an amazing story, spot-on voice acting, beautiful music, and - I can't emphasize this enough - the ability to pet Cerberus, Hound of the Underworld, as many times as you want, then it's definitely the game for you.
