Absolutely fantastic; not only one of the best roguelikes ever made but arguably one of the best indie games ever made! The gameplay is extremely intuitive and deceptively simple, but the nuances of it's hack-and-slash, top-down ARPG systems make it extraordinarily replayable--that, and the shockingly invested storyline. The amount of dialogue this game has is genuinely astonishing, and every line's great; you'll get to love the characters and cast in this game so much. On top of that, the story and the gameplay connect in ways you don't expect; ludonarrative dissonance has no bearing here. Hades also looks fantastic and has a killer rock soundtrack (as well as some veeeery beautiful ballads here and there). And even after you beat the game, there's always more to do. Fantastic!
