Hades - Gameclub

Listen Later

Hades is the latest release from Supergiant Games, a studio that consistently releases some of the slickest and most stylish games of the generation. This is the best yet.

You are Zagreus, a son of Hades, determined to break free from the Stygian realm of your birth.

A roguelike (roguelite?) that will test your twitch skills with weapons and power ups that make each run unique. Maybe most remarkably it has a nearly endless trough of voice lines and story beats that punctuate each run and unfold over the many deaths that await you.

The game can be a little daunting at first, but we loved this game and bet you will to. Check it out.

Next game for the gameclub is Outer Wilds: https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/
