The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.

    I refunded Hades, I found it dull. To each their own.

    I bought it for Switch years ago after being peer pressured from the massive amount of glazing and regretted it. It's a good game, I just don't like roguelikes. The constant "I hate roguelikes but this was the best game I've played in years!" comments pushed me to do it.

    I loved the game but the actual gameplay was probably my least favorite part if that makes sense.

    There is just something about Hades that clicked for me as well. I literally never played rougelikes, but Hades just hit different.

    I played it right before Hades 2 came out, and bought Hades 2. I have now completed all steam achievements on both games. So I really understand the

    I hate roguelikes but this was the best game I've played in years!

    Was that way for me too

    I am actually among the "don't like roguelikes but this was an amazing game" crowd. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I can't say exactly what it is, but something about how they nailed the roguelike formula is perfect. Always new dialogue to unlock, new things to buy, resources to farm, prophecies to fulfill, there was just so much perfectly aligned for me. Probably helps that I also love Greek mythology.

    Hades is definitely right down my alley, even though I'd never played anything quite like it before. It's one of the games that reignited my enjoyment for gaming, a hobby that I mostly set aside for about 20 years. It's one of the very few games I can fire up when I have a bit of spare time and even though I've played through the levels a hundred times, it's still so much fun.

    I've tried to get into Hades 2 and so far it hasn't captured that same level of enjoyment. I think I prefer the relative simplicity of the original and the fact that it takes much less time to start feeling powerful in the original. Much more rewarding. Of course, my opinion on that might change.
