Zagreus is adorably ignorant about a lot of things, since the Underworld is all he’s ever known. The amount of new dialogue in each attempted runthrough shows a wealth of characterisation, and the game’s sense of worldbuilding always feels natural there are no information dumps here in the Underworld.

Supergiant Games puts a strong emphasis on their characters being the driving force in their stories, with Hades being no different. In Hades, we play as Zagreus, traversing the many levels of the Underworld in the hope of freedom: the ability to break away from his father and discover his origins. He’s not just great fun to play as, but being him makes the journey all the more appealing. So instead, let’s celebrate its leading man for being another reason to pick this game up right now. Aphrodite is deserving of her title of the Goddess of Love with such an alluring design and luscious voice Dionysus is fitting to be the God of wine since he makes us thirsty on sight and I’d take a one-way ticket to the Underworld just to bump into Thanatos, even if that means certain death.Īnd since we, at Rice Digital, are known for going about topics in a different way, we’re not just talking about how good Hades is overall - since we all know and have seen enough of the game to convince us. We’ve got plenty of options thanks to the charisma of the Gods, and Jen Zee’s gorgeous illustrations seen throughout the game.


Or maybe it’s because I’m in agreement with a few others on the game’s many offerings of eye-candy? It may very well be a nice mix of the two. Of course I’m no stranger in covering titles not at home in Japan, but hopefully we can all understand why this game had to be covered here. It is worth mentioning that it is secretly player-friendly for those of us who suffer from hitting a wall all too often when it comes to the tough roguelike genre (hint: find the ‘God Mode’ in the menu under options). Meanwhile, Hades has got it all, with fantastic voice acting, a really well paced narrative offering something new with each dungeon run - new lines of dialogue are very frequent and are always wonderfully written and delivered - and addictive dungeon crawling mechanics. Each of their games feels entirely new with an original premise, and they’re always equipped with engaging narratives, polished presentation, stunning art and splendid original soundtracks.īastion had an insanely lush and detailed world with a hilariously charismatic narrator, Transistor transports you to a vibrant, futuristic city with a truly stunning soundtrack and brilliantly dynamic gameplay, while Pyre has incredibly deep characters and an engaging party-based roleplaying system. Supergiant Games have continuously struck gold since being established, with their earlier titles Bastion and Transistor getting limited run physical copies, and their third title Pyre being my personal favourite.

The wait was worthwhile, since the physical copy comes with an artbook and a digital code for the soundtrack packed inside the case.
