4. Hades

Few games are as meticulously designed and expertly crafted as Hades.

A clockwork mechanism of unlocks, character builds and enemy weaknesses, the secret sauce is how this roguelike structure is mapped - for the first time in gaming - to a powerful, nuanced story of main-man Zagreus discovering what happened to his mother.

With weapon upgrades shining a light on character relationships, story triggers hitting after so many runs and the overall picture of what Supergiant created not unfurling until you've banked over 40 hours of gameplay, Hades is a straight-up masterpiece that everybody should check out.
