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.
