Supergiant's roguelite action dungeon crawler game Hades has won the first-ever (and only) Hugo Award in the gaming category.
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
Interesting list of nominees.
Hades
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Spiritfarer
Final Fantasy VII Remake
The Last of Us: Part II
Blaseball
Hades is great and deserves it
Well Deserved. I personally prefer Final Fantasy 7 but Hades was VERY WELL DONE. I love the voice acting especially.
Out of this list I would pick FF7 or TLOU2 . Hades was pretty good but not my favorite rogue like/lite game . I’ve played many games like it before Hades so it’s not as big a deal to me as others who maybe haven’t played games like it . The banter was very funny and I think that is what it made it good more than the gameplay
