Hades is one of those games that are hard for me to rate. I love a lot of things about it. It's a piece of art, and a great one at that. The combat is generally fun. There aren't many weapon choices but they play and feel very differently, making each run feel different. But I also hate a lot of things about it as well. It's grindy as hell (no pun intended). The weapons aren't well-balanced; 1-2 of them are objectively better. Most of them are useless for the final two bosses, unless you luck out and find the best possible upgrades for them. Finishing a run is, honestly, very anticlimactic. Beating or not beating the final boss doesn't make much difference, in terms of the rewards you get. I got 30+ hours of (mostly) fun gameplay out of it, so I'm not complaining. But I can't help thinking that it could've been a much better experience.
