Hades- Video Games As Art

Hades is the multi-award winning and highly regarded rogue-like based on the Greek mythology that told the story of Hades’ son Zagreus trying to escape the underworld. Being Hades though the escape is extremely perilous so you die, a lot, before finally getting through the different levels of Hells.

I bought the game on the Nintendo Switch earlier in the year and alongside Skyrim, it is the game I poured most of my hours into. After nearly 100 attempts I finally managed to escape and see the first ending. I won’t spoil it but it was sweet release.

Now, speaking to a few friends I know you’re supposed to beat it about 10 times to see the ‘true’ ending but forget that… I’ve got my pile of shame building up! However, I loved my time with the game and its gorgeous art style is singularly spectacular.
