finally
a supergiant game with gameplay
It's pretty good, with good writing and presentation as expected of a Supergiant title. Gameplay is pretty fun, but get's a little old once you've played with all the weapons (though you can purchase modifiers to spice things up).
Probably one of the most content packed early access games right now, this could be the final version and I'd be satisfied
Edit: reached the ending
I quite like this game. It remains the Supergiant game with the best gameplay by far, and the official release fixed some things that I didn't like in the Early Access. Roguelike and story go hand in hand in Hades, and make a very good symbiosis. The game still looks great and the designs are beautiful, characters are likeable, and writing is still great.
Still, one gripe I have with it is how repetitive everything is. And yes, I am aware that this is how roguelikes function, but Hades' gameplay isn't interesting enough to warrant every run pretty much being the same. The most interesting gameplay change are some pacts and the hidden aspects but that's about it. After that, you'll see every boon, every boss, every enemy ad infinitum because there's just not any variety whatsoever.
Another problem with the gameplay is how meddlesome it is when wanting to experience the story, since you can only talk again with the characters after every escape attempt, which take about 30 min.. But, as I expressed, the gameplay just ends up feeling repetitive, so unless you're doing suicide runs to unlock more of the stories (since the God mode doesn't really help at all), you'll probably be burnt out by the time you have all the sidequests on you. At times, most of the stories (even the main one) just didn't hook my interest enough to warrant doing another escape attempt.
Still, I can't say this is a bad game cus it's really not at all. This is a huge step forward for Supergiant, and I'm really glad they're getting this much attention. Very hyped for their next game, now that Hades demonstrates they can pull off gameplay.
