I do agree that I find Hades to be limited in the variety of enemies and in its level design. But on the other hand, I find that Hades has enough variety in the weapon and power-up styles to satisfy me.
In my most recent play-through I set up intentional limitations to how I went through my runs, including:
* Always swapping to the weapon with Dark Thirst
* Always choosing Boons/Upgrades that were on the Fates list (and prioritizing to get every Duo and Legendary Boon when making choices).
* Not reusing Keepsakes that were used in previous runs until I cycled through them all.
* Max leveling the Hidden Weapon Aspects and completing full runs with them.
All of these served basically the same purpose, to force me to not rely on the same strategies each time and make me need to use different playstyles in every run. The repetitiveness of the enemies matters very little when you have to take them on in many different ways because you have a mis-mash of a build. That's probably not going to be fun for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.
This is how I played my first time. I found there was plenty of variety through my 95 hours.
