Supergiant’s 2018 dungeon crawler Hades won several end of year awards for its aesthetic prowess and just how good an overall package it is. Set in the underworld of Greek legends, it’s a fresh take on the genre and is oozing with personality.

The idea of totally completing a rogue-like, with all of its randomly generated dungeon goodness, can be a daunting task. Thankfully, due to Hades’ addictive gameplay you’ll find yourself filling up that 100% completion goal without even really thinking about it. The “just one more run before bedtime” mentality is strong in this one and it’s all too easy to spend entire nights just trying to get that little bit further.

What keeps players so invested in Hades is the variety of combat styles and the fact that the game isn’t shy to reward or offer progress to the player. The more times you fail, the stronger you become and new conversations with the game’s wonderful cast open up along the way.

Over the many times you’ve gear up for your next great underworld escape attempt, it’s impossible not to grow closer to those around you. As such, the game becomes not just about your own survival but about fulfilling the requests and stories of Hades’ incredibly well-written and well-performed cast of characters.
