VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "After a deluge of high profile AAA titles in 2019, 2020 was something of a quiet year for the action genre. Nevertheless, several games still stood, especially in the indie sphere. So who benefitted the most from the relative lack of competition?"
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
Highly deserved. Hades is a truly great game. I'm loving it.
Unpopular opinion perhaps but, would love this to come to PS5 too.
Best action game of 2020? Nah, I'm sorry but Nioh 2 destroys this game and all the others on the list (in combat), and it's really not even close. Not saying Hades is a bad game btw, quite the opposite. Also FG is an action game? Lol, since when?
Not a single playstation exclusive got nominated, interesting considering how ghost of tsushima, FF7 remake and the last of us 2 were amazing games and personally better than all the games nominated on this website.....
