I love narrative-driven games and this one is a hell of a masterpiece, one of its endings made me really emotional, and I don't doubt most of them would. Furthermore, the mix between gameplay and story made the pacing so enjoyable, totally changing my first glance at the game - to be honest I thought I'd be soon bored by its simple nature.
I could keep writing on about what I love in the way its narrative feels so natural as you progress to the game, but being honest I'll just say that if you love intense narrative-driven games with compelling characters with strong stories, but also with fun rpg-like gameplay, I'm sure you'll love this - especially if you are a collectivist, such as myself. If, otherwise, you are unclear whether this game is for you or not, we also have Lem and his lovely daughter, Mina, which is really all the reason you need to play this game.
To finish, I have to say that I haven't played Citizen Sleeper enough to talk about its full experience, but, so far, I couldn't be more happy that I did play it.

It took me about 50 hours to have a romantic relationship with Thanatos and it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worth every single second. Not because there's a dating sim in Hades - there isn't -, but because the game is good in every aspect.
From a first look, the main aspect of Hades is the gameplay, which is very good indeed, so much so that it's always fun to have another run, despite having beaten Hades so many times that I don't even get tense during the boss fight anymore. But, from someone who has paid attention to the story and read many codex descriptions, the game doesn't only rely on its gameplay, rather it instigates you to go further to get rewarded to hear more of the history and the characters. As an example: I've only played this long - which is not even that long - because I wanted to finish the main history and, obviously, date Thanatos, and man, that made every run count so much more.
Every time I returned to House it didn't feel as though I was just about to restart the game, but rather I got anxious to talk to everyone - especially Thanatos - and progress in every interaction. So, by recreating a lively House with interesting characters the game made me play much more than I would if this was just about beating mobs and bosses again and again. For example, Thanatos made every run so much more interesting, because every time he showed up I was excited to meet him there and, hopefully, in the house later. Their silly interactions while competing to see who can kill more gave a deeper level of reality to this game that is rare to find, and this happens with many other characters too.
But, to be very honest, I am very in love with Thanatos and that's why I kept playing, and even though I've reached the maximum relationship with him, meeting him just gets even more satisfying. So, thanks Hades to create the best boy: Thanatos.
In conclusion, play the game, really, just play it. Take your sweet time to appreciate the characters, the fights, the mobs, the history, and much more. Take your time, don't rush, it'll make everything much easier.

Apenas incrível, o Dev team está de parabéns. Triste mesmo é que o jogo é feito para ser jogado em multiplayer e conheço pouca gente que gosta.
