Hades is a roguelike action dungeon crawler video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. It was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2020, which followed an early access release in December 2018. The game released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on August 13, 2021.

Players control Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape from the Underworld to reach Mount Olympus, at times aided by gifts bestowed on him from the other Olympians. Each run challenges the player through a random series of rooms populated with enemies and rewards. The game has a hack and slash combat system; the player uses a combination of their main weapon attack, dash power, and magic ability to defeat them while avoiding damage to progress as far as possible. While Zagreus will often die, the player can use gained treasure to improve certain attributes or unlock new weapons and abilities to improve chances of escaping on subsequent runs.
In this video Dreamcastguy reviews Hades on PS5 showing off lots of PlayStation 5 gameplay and why this game looks and plays even better in 4k and 60fps.
Hades was developed following Supergiant's Pyre, a game in which they wanted to explore procedural narrative storytelling, but due to the nature of the main gameplay, found that players did not play through Pyre multiple times to explore this. The roguelike structure of Hades gave them the opportunity to tell these branching stories to the player over the course of multiple runs.

A commercial and critical success, Hades received praise for its gameplay, art direction, music, narrative and characters and sold over one million copies. It was named 2020's game of the year from several award ceremonies and media publications.

10/10 game. Already have this on Switch (DIGITAL). If i get this for the 5, it will be physical.

...and on XBox too ! Thanks GamePass 🥰

Returnal introduced me to Rouge-like games. Now I'm playing Hades on PS5. I can say Rouge-like games are by far my top 2 favorite game genre now. RPGs my top favorite‼️

I went through lots of the comments. Most gamers are playing this game on Game Pass for Xbox and PC. Plus gamers are still supporting the developers of the game through Game Pass. Microsoft already paid the developers for the game to be on Game Pass.

quick resume made this game better, i don’t need to sit down and complete in one go, jumping between this and hellblade and flight sim atm

Nice. I installed this on Series X from Game Pass and looking forward to checking it out. Video gets me fired up to boot it up tonight.

So glad you mentioned the ssd and loaf times(or lack there of)it is a game changer. Almost everything you play is faster, smoother and more enjoyable because of this feature. It the controller too with haptics and triggers and 3d audio. It's not just about next gen games but a "next gen experience" once you play on ps5...you can't go back to a ps4, that is certain. Even the playstation store is graphed into the hardware making a instant, seamless transition from the home to the store(everything is faster)it is just a different way to play and you get way more gametime. I have played my ps5 almost everyday since launch when I got it(nov. 12)is hades a physical release as well as digital?

Dreamcastguy your acting like a fanboy here. Game plays good on ps4 abs on series s/x

[rayharvey]

You paid $30 for it for PS5?...You don't have XBOX Game Pass???

I totally agree with the 10/10 rating. This is one of two games I bothered to write a review for using an Xbox controller. I also gave it a 5 stars rating and it plays on my Series S like a dream! I already own it on the Switch but never finished it mostly because I have a ton of backlog to go through. That said, I cannot deny that having achievements gives me more motivation to finish it. I just love everything about it! I highly recommend it on your platform of choice. Gorgeous game!

Absolute monster of a game. What a game it is. I haven't been able to put it down since yesterday.

Are you going to review physchonaughts on ps5 even tho it's common knowledge x box has the better version lol 😆

[drztopgun]

I'm most definitely going to try this on my series X but I'm Not buying it. Game pass baby😛

[jmporkbob]

This is the best version of Hades, compared to what? The Switch, sure. But compared to Xbox and PC? I don't see how you can say anything but they are equal at best.

Weird fanboy-ish conclusion here—or at the very least, poorly researched/thought through.

[gosusteele]

PC version at 4k 120fps is still the best!

[kevinlee]

Definitely a lot better than the Switch port.
I'm playing this in GamePass on Series X.
Definitely going to buy it, it's amazing 👏

[lastchance]

I’ll be playing it on my series X thanks to gamepass, super stoked to try it out from scratch after beating it lots of times on Switch! I’m interested to see how long it takes to get my first clear this time.
