"What's surprising about Hades, to me at least, is how gutsy it is, how vitally in love with connection it is," Christian Donlan wrote in Eurogamer's review. "It lives to clobber. Room after room of hell. You turn up and wait for horrors. The horrors arrive and, jeepers, you shred them. You pulverise them. I have never felt so sorry for the stuff of nightmares." Importantly, you can also pet a three-headed dog. Before working on Hades, Supergiant was known for several other acclaimed titles including Pyre, Transistor and Bastion. Hades was in early access for two years, but the time spent there clearly paid off - and was apparently a riot in its own right.
