    The reason I fell in love with Hades was that the dying and restarting was not only canonical but thematic. The point of rogue-likes is that through extraordinary effort, absolute stubbornness, and endless skill, you can achieve even the most ludicrous of difficult things.
    In Hades, your enemy isn't dragons made of bullets or dangerous cave creatures or whatever. You fight causality itself. You fight the concept of Death and Destiny. I haven't played enough to know if you win, but either way is a story worth telling

      It's capped off when you look at some of the genuine mythology there. The actual mythological Zagreus is somewhat undefined, mixed up and conflated with Dionysus in some myths, but there are some fragments.
      It makes sense that Zagreus refuses to stay down, dying repeatedly and shrugging it off, because aside from Achilles' musing on Zagreus being the god of blood and life, he's referred to as the god of Rebirth.
      And what better protagonist for a roguelike?

      @Descartes' Apparition Idk the technicalities, but the reason why I buy the game on Steam is because they have this features, while Epic don't have this yet.
      On Epic, the game is 60% pricier because of that.
      Maybe its just a feature that Steam offers to developers. I also got Halo collection for basically $13 full price all 5 games at launch because of that lmao.
      Its just good business, its easier to sell the products to more people, if the majority can afford it.
      Edit: I kinda get why they sell Halo (and practically all fighting games) so cheap here, its because Halo is practically unknown in South East Asia. So they need to make it cheap, so people can fill Asia server with player.
      But Hades is single player game, and they do that anyway which is awesome!

    It's not discussed in the vid much, but on top of everything else Hades does a really great job of including LGBT characters. Zagreus is canonically bisexual, the romance options are male and female, there's a non-binary character, an asexual character, Achilles and Patroclus being the best couple. You can romance all the romance options at the same time if you want without any consequence. It's not considered cheating, there's multiple bits of dialogue where those involved communicate clearly that they're ok and happy with a polyamorous relationship. I've literally never seen that before in a game. Ever. It's fantastic.

    Really think it’s underrated how, in the first three zones, you get to hear 2 tracks per zone (maybe 3, if you include the first few rooms of Tartarus which have a fixed track, and barge of death has a fixed track). Each track is split in 2: the “normal” version, and the metal version. The harder and crunchier rock variant is reserved for bosses/minibosses, where it takes the preestablished melody that you’ve been listening to for a while now and then decides “metal time” and the music becomes something out of doom.

Hades being willing to give players rewards for playing makes it so new players can play the game for long enough to like them. I have no idea why any other rouge lite or ever rouge like ever considers doing the thing Hades did, but at least we got a good one now. They might even make this the new standerd for rouge lites.

    I'll be honest I'm only here to find secrets that I haven't uncovered like the fan in the stands! Did you notice that they named the builds as well? The specific combination of different boons will name your build at the end of the run.

    bought this game cause I was nostalgic for my Greek mythology phase with Percy Jackson, I was *very* surprised to see that I actually enjoyed the gameplay as someone who didn't seem to get into the rouge likes I've tried (sorry into the gungeon 😔). the characters already had a small soft soft as a knew most of the Olympic God's but it was super fun to see more, I've done some causal research just from curiosity and boy do I wish I could convert to Greek like it's a religion.
    haven't beaten hades as of this comment but I feel closer every time and that's definitely the charm of this game, as explained so wonderfully in this video. I've got to go talk to bouldy now cause I've played for hours and never knew he fricking talked lmao, loved the video too!!

      Don't understand the first part of your post. What's the point of it?

    You transmitted the excitement directly to me, I was grinning the whole video. I knew the game was cool and all, but not to this extent, now I NEED IT.

    The important factor here when it comes to dying in hades is that Every death isn't because of some horeshit gimmick, abused build or lack of foresight on the dev's part like in other games, it's usually due to a fuck up on your own part
    The game's great, amazing on all fronts
    and every time I die, instead of getting pissed off like when losing a game of league, I feel the drive to try again because "Huh, this time they almost died. I think i've got the pattern down, let's try this again"
