Hades Review

Hades is a one-of-a-kind experience that sets the bar for fully utilizing the medium of video games that should be experienced by all -- if they're up to the challenge.

Review on PC by Nick Limon. Also available on Nintendo Switch.

That was the most 10 sounding nine I've ever seen

[rainando]

the true crime of the review is not saying anything about the art. damn that game is beautiful

[Hyper_Vyle]

This has been one of the best reviews ign has done in a long time, whoever this guy is, keep him around

This is the culmination of almost a decade of indie development. It uses everything they've tried and perfected over the course of supergaints history. It refines the atmosphere and characters of bastion, the combat and build diversity boiled down from transistor, the progressive game and character development of pyre. It's a decade of refinement and mastery of indie game design, I loved it. A master stroke for sure.

Wow, I looked up Nick Limon because this was one of the best written reviews I've ever watched/read. Turns out, this is his first one! Amazing Nick! Keep it up. I'll be following you closely!

Reviews like this is why I wish reviews didn’t have scores attached. He gave a great review but everyone is more concerned that it’s not a 10. What would giving it a 10 do differently for you if everything he said remains the same?

For anyone who got into Hades without knowing much about the genre (like me) ... Trust me, it gets better. Don't let yourself down if you can't progress that much at first. It gets better, a lot more fun and you start to see progress after a while. Hang in there and the game starts to become really addictive.

It's a 10 in my book. As varied and one-more-run-inducing as you could want. That's not even taking into account the quality art and sound, or the huge cast of compelling characters that all have so many unique bits of fun, interesting, well-delivered dialogue that it's kinda ridiculous. It's one of the best games I've ever played. The average time here was kinda eerily accurate, too. My first clear was run #29, and I put 53 hours into it before putting it down (until now, where I'll probably pick it right back up again).

Ok its time for Netflix to jump in and produce a 24 episode anime on this

Just bought this. Looks amazing. The art work is beautiful

[PixelArchitect]

Love how the developers went with new art direction each time - Bastion, Transistor, now Hades. Art always on point!

Got to the real ending yesterday and bought this game since early access: please trust a random stranger on the internet and just buy this masterpiece

[stuartrobinson]

This game is a 10. Playing on Switch and I'm 585 hours and 187 attempts in. The build options alone are staggering, but the story has absolutely hooked me.

Bastion was one of the best surprises I ever played. Definitely getting this

[DoomGaming]

I just got this game a couple days ago, it is easily one of the best looking games I’ve played. It’s art is beautiful and it’s gameplay is amazing.

[tochukwuudu]

been following these guys since bastion amazing company.

[g.george]

Did he just review this game without ever mentioning the INSANE music?

[godbrv]

Who is here from the nominee of game of the year...

[mboettcher]

Why isn't Supergiant Games in the conversation more often as one of the best Indie developers of all time?
