Recommended Posted June 26, 2025 on Steam To anyone on the fence, just get it. You will NOT be disappointed. Personally, I've never been into the roguelike games, as it gets too boring too quick. But Hades is truly special. Amazing voice acting, great animations, beautiful art style and music. I had a really good time with Hades and I can see myself coming back to it on my deck every now and then because new runs get quickly addicting. -
Recommended Posted September 18, 2025 on Steam At time of writing, Hades is currently on sale for around $6 USD. If you're questioning whether or not to get it, let's put in perspective what this means: They get: $6 You get: 70+ hours of gameplay and quality storytelling out of the best roguelike ever made Just get it, dude. -
Recommended Posted August 22, 2025 on Steam One of my favorite games of all time. Many other reviewers have said it better. I'm a lifelong gamer, in my 40s, busy with work family& kids, and this is a game that has a story and playstyle that kept me engaged and in love. Looking forward to sharing this with my kids, and, Hades 2. Thanks. -
Recommended Posted October 5, 2025 on Steam That one addicting game you play for 40 hs in a week and then you don´t touch again for years. 10/10, would come back in 5 years again. -
Recommended Posted July 11, 2025 on Steam Helpful tip: You're supposed to die. A lot. Each death is progress. You unlock dialogue, upgrades, lore, trauma, and daddy issues. – Dash constantly. – Boons that synergize > picking random shiny gods. – Deflect is your best friend. – Pet Cerberus. He deserves it. – Don’t ignore Chaos. The void gives great gifts. – Give your skeleton therapist a Nectar, he hands over the best keepsake in the game. I thought I finished the game. But the final boss said, "Do it again." So I did. And now I live here. 10/10. also, the music is an absolute banger. -
Recommended Posted June 4, 2025 on Steam Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played in my life, and I've been gaming for 25 years. The attention to detail that SGG put into this game is absolutely phenomenal. The art and character writing is evocative and insightful. The gameplay feels SO crisp and smooth after a little bit of a learning curve. The replayability ... I have >5500 hours at time of this review, I launched and streamed without steam for around 1100 hours. If that doesn't say replayability I don't know what to tell you. It's a glorious framework for self improvement and growth if you employ the right mindset. Buy this game. You won't regret it.
