Hades for PS4 offers thrilling, fast-paced gameplay with a rich story, gorgeous art, and challenging battles. A must-play title in every aspect!

Excellent game. Iconic even. What else is there to say really. Get this and then play the second one. Nice to have a hard copy.

As a fan of Supergiant Games, I had this game on my list but was hesitant due to it being a roguelite (I don't typically play roguelites). When it won Game of the Year in 2020, I was happy and excited to see it, but still it remained on my backlog. Then I saw the trailer for Hades 2 and couldn't stop watching it. I loved everything about the trailer and figured hey, maybe now would be a great time to check Hades out! It was on sale and available nearby and I figured why not? And let me tell you... Play this game! If you're unsure, don't be, just play it. It's that good. I regret waiting so long to play it, it's amazing. The art style is eye-catching and a true delight, the hand-drawn backgrounds are absolutely beautiful with a ton of attention to detail. The music is phenomenal, it fits the game perfectly and really helps set the mood (as well as just being an overall masterpiece, worthy of being listened to as a soundtrack for your everyday life). The voice acting is believable and filled with emotion. The characters are multi-dimensional, well written, and each with their own distinct personalities. The story is intriguing and unique. And the gameplay… wow! The gameplay is fun and fast-paced. You will die a lot in this game but it's how it works. Every run you get more powerful, so you're not starting from scratch each time, and the progression feels natural and fun. Each time you return to the hall there's new conversations to be had with each of the characters, gifts to give and relationships to build, points to spend to increase your combat capabilities or maybe buy a new room type, weapons to unlock / upgrade… The dungeons are dynamic and with a variety of different weapons to choose from, and different boons from the different gods, it keeps it from feeling repetitive or boring. You can sit down for a quick run or you can binge it, the replayability is high. Everything about this game is great and you can tell everyone who worked on it really put their heart into it. If you like roguelikes, get it!! If you're not sure, still get it! It has so many positives and is a ton of fun.

The game is pretty good but not for me. I like the art style and the combat but I just can’t really get into roguelike games. If that’s your cup of tea, this is definitely one of the best.

Somehow this hack-and-slash rouge-like game has me loving every bit of this. Pro-tip: die early on, repeatedly. Just spend like 10 minutes repeatedly dying. After enough times, you can enable a permanent damage reduction which makes life a bit easier. You'll still struggle throughout the game trying to reach the end, but you'll have a blast the entire time. The narrative from SuperGiant games is always fun and the music is always great. All of my runs seem to create unique lines too! If you hate dying a lot, I'd still suggest giving this a try. It's worth it.

I don't usually play rogue-likes/roguelites, but when I heard this game was nominated fro game of the year 2020 I had to check it out. This game in it's story, art direction, gameplay, characters, and challenging enemies are all done masterfully well better than some triple A games out there. This is a Must-Play

fun game cant go wrong with it alot of action and excitment

The game itself is packed with addictive combat, rich art direction and an engrossing narrative, which all together make this a stellar game over all that's worthy of the accolades it has garnered over the past year. As for this physical edition specifically, it feels like it has enough value that warrants adding it to your collection. What I found to be a nice surprise for the PS4 version is that it offers a free upgrade to the PS5 version. As someone who does not yet own a PS5, it's nice to know that I can enjoy it now and still have access to that version's features when I eventually do get a PS5. This also includes a small "character compendium" which is more of a collection of portraits of the main characters and a code to download the digital version of the game's amazing soundtrack. Over all, I'm very satisfied with this physical release and highly recommend it.

Good game. Fun to play. Purchased as a gift for my teen who also likes it.

Hades on PS4 is an addictive and beautifully designed roguelike. The storyline, engaging combat, and stunning aesthetics make it a must-play. Be prepared to lose track of time while escaping the Underworld. Highly recommended!

I already loved this game on Switch and knew I had to get it to continue my physical Supergiant PS4 game collection. If you like roguelikes, you'll probably like this, and even if you don't, it's a forgiving enough one that it's still worth a chance. The characters are great, the art is incredible, the voice performances are strong, and of course the music rocks, in all meanings of the word. As noted, the PS4 version includes a free upgrade to the PS5 version, so you lose out on nothing by getting this!

Game of the year edition for $20 is an absolute steal. Great game that can be played over and over. Highly recommend
