Hades is simultaneously an absolutely fantastic game and an absolutely overrated game. Or to be more precise, it's an 8.5/10 that's being treated like a 10/10. The main thing that the game has going for it is that its art style, music, voice acting, and story are fantastic, especially the latter, as the game is quite innovative in how it went about melding multiple runs through the game into the story.

What stops Hades from reaching 10/10 or even 9/10 territory is that there's not enough to differentiate the gameplay in the different runs. This is critical given its status as a roguelite, as the genre itself skews towards the enjoyment of the gameplay itself, rather than using said gameplay as a vehicle for the story, like an adventure game might.

Really, one of the easiest (yet effective) things that they could do to mitigate the problem is just add in more content. Namely, add in more boons to modify how your character and weapons operate and add in more enemies and rooms so that different runs feel more distinguished.

Despite those critiques, I would still highly recommend the game. I don't regret a second of the time that I spent with it.
