Eurogamer writes: Hello! And welcome to a special article where a bunch of us sit down to talk about our game of the year. And for 2020, that game is Hades. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and we hope you're leaving such an unusual year with some good memories of the games you've played.
Hades, which released all the way back in 2018, has just seen the highest player count on Steam ever - with Hades 2 fueling the surge.
The current discount of 66% off probably helps. Was good enough to convince me to finally buy it.
New magic system shines in the game's early "Technical Test" period.
Looking forward to this. Hades is easily one of the best games of last-gen. Just hoping they nailed the characters again in Hades 2, because they were fantastic in the first game.
It will be very hard to top.Zagreus as a main character btw.
I was addicted to Hades, the loop pulls you in and doesn't let go. It helps the gameplay is so much fun. Working towards beating the max heat level was the most enjoyable and satisfying challenge I've had for as long as I can remember.
Over 200 hrs in the first Hades without even really realizing it. Can’t wait for 2.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
IGN, GamesRadar, Polygon, Eurogamer and Destructoid, all have given their Goty to Hades.
I have never seen an indie title win Goty from so many big critics against a top tier AAA game.
Picked up Hades this morning on Steam. All these GOTY awards have me intrigued.
My pick as well. Really great game!!!
Terrific story and characters. Still haven't been able to beat Hades on Hell mode, yet
Is a great game held back by short length which gives way to repetition. That first full run though is brilliant.
As great as it is, putting it ahead of the likes of ff7 remake, tlou2, demon souls and spider man is a bit ridiculous tbh but to each there own i suppose.
