10. The Family Reunion Party - Hades

As anyone who has delved into Greek Mythology will know, Zeus and his Olympian family have what could best be described as a dysfunctional relationship. At worst, it could be described as a monumental and utterly implausible disaster of a relationship.

In Supergiant Games’ fantastic roguelike Hades, these family relationships are at the fore. Hades rarely speaks of Zeus, Poseidon and the rest of the godly gang, except in the most contemptuous of tones.

As Zagreus completes more and more runs and the story of the game unfolds, though, Hades and his are reunited with Persephone, and they slowly hatch a plan to make peace with Olympus. This is the true ending of the game, and it takes an awful lot of dedication and in-game time to make it work.

Even more runs later, after Zagreus has boosted his relationship with everybody enough, he individually invites all the Olympians to the House of Hades, for the reunion party to end all reunion parties.

There’s no shortcut to making this happen; no sneaky DLC, and the exposition in this final scene is both hilarious and touching in equal measure.
