It was worth buying a Wii U for.

I try to tell people what a witty and charming and emotionally moving game this is but no one will listen because all they want to talk about is Granny Cream's Hot Butter Ice Cream you take the hot butter mix it with the ice cream freeze it up cool you can see it on your screen put it in the microwave make it real hot like a soup or a dip we call it heat 'n sip very tasty and healthy too Granny Cream's Hot Butter Ice Cream
This game's writing is atrocious. I enjoyed it, which is the worst part.

I would recommend this game to anyone with even the vaguest interest in video game storytelling. Or JRPGs. Or generally experiencing emotions.

Average and enjoyable in kind of a remarkable way. The dog care system can feel kind of tacked-on at times, but I don't think the dating sim aspects of the game would be nearly as enjoyable without it. The game is also still getting bug patches and cute little seasonal updates, which is nice.
I marked as complete after finishing one character route, but I would like to go back and do some more. Maybe it's the sort of game to play in chunks over a long period of time, because after I finished my first route I was all... boy, I don't want to do that all over again!

It's better than Crush Crush.

"The unforgiving gameplay is integral to the narrative" I say as I lower myself further into the Singing Machine

I don't like platformers, but I have to make an exception for this game. There's nothing like the feeling of being so engrossed in a game that the controller melts away in your hand and you FEEL like you're in the game.

I can only really recommend this game to someone who already likes Sam & Max and is willing to forgo their Gamer Pride and use a walkthrough. The often vaguely offensive jokes, dated cultural references, and Ye Olde LucasArts Jank asks a lot of the modern-day video game player--but if you're just here for the McGruff the Crime Dog and his jovially murderous lagomorph life-partner, then it's easy to look past that and enjoy the game for what it is. Mostly.

This game gets repetitive. Right? Of course it does. Once you git gud enough to escape once it gets repetitive. Game grows stale, put down game and play different game. But you don't. You keep doing it until you get the true ending. And then you keep doing it until you unlock all the aspects and experiment with every boon and Daedalus buff. And then you keep doing it because you want to max out everyone's affection and deck out the House with fun furniture that angers your dad, and maybe even date someone, or play the lyre, or achieve more pointless Ranks, or do increasingly absurd challenge runs, or maybe you've just become so accustomed to the small dopamine hits granted by this game's satisfying combat system that you just. Can't. Stop.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be done playing Hades.

Made my brain melt in a really, REALLY fun way.

A short and sweet game--and a surprisingly warm take on a format I've only really seen used for horror games. It's a nice way to spend an afternoon.
Aggressively mediocre--which is a shame, because the art style is so endearing!
