Hades is my favorite Videogame of all time

Hades is like a game that isn’t real. It’s a title plucked from your dreams and made reality, it’s fun distilled, it’s carefully thought out mechanics and interactions that bend and twist but never break.. it’s color given LIFE it’s dialogue thats unending and ludicrously situational.. even after having hundreds of hours under my belt.. new dialogue is the “norm”, there’s even specific text for reaching the final boss without any power ups on you.

But unlike an actual dream game, Hades has the benefit of being real, you get to wake up roll over, turn on your switch or PC, and feel relieved that it’s still there, and after you’ve cut your teeth on the first couple of hours things click at a pace I’ve seen in few other roguelikes or videogames, because even if your moveset focuses mostly on three different attacks, what these three moves mean to you hinges so much on the weapon you chose at the beginning and the blessings you get throughout your run. One of the best examples of how much your style can vary is in the Poseidon sword. Typically your special attack for the sword is a ground stabbing AoE you use to bridge your standard attack combos together, but the Poseidon version of this sword has the added bonus of dislodging your magic projectiles from enemies when you use said special. Since you’d normally have to wait for them to dislodge on their own or defeat them outright to get them back, this encourages you to constantly pelt your enemies with crystals before dislodging them with your special to get them back and do it all over again. Compare that to the normal version of this sword (which simply gives you increased attack and movement speed), and you have two completely different ways to use the same weapon.
