Very fun rogue-lite with solid gameplay loop. Very high quality animation, design, music, VO, etc. I played through Bastion and didn't really enjoy it because the combat was so slow-paced, but Hades is much improved on that front.

Minor point, but everyone loves the voiceovers in this game and I agree they are of high technical quality, but subjectively I find many of the characters' voices kind of annoying. Meg has a weird vocal fry, Zag's accent sounds like someone half-assing a non-native accent, and Dusa is squeaky and annoying. But that's just a style choice and a minor quibble. The only other complaint would be that sometimes aiming can feel a bit wonky due to the camera perspective, but this is rare as well (I only played Mouse and Keyboard, maybe controller is different).

Anyway, great game overall. Recommended.
