![]() It starts simple: you pick up your weapon of choice, and set about pillaging the lands of the undead in your somewhat directionless quest towards the surface. Using Zagreus – your charismatic, sensitive yet occasionally clueless prince of the Underworld – as a vessel for you to explore the lower reaches of Ancient Greek hell, Supergiant Games manages to make the world and its dysfunctional cast of characters just as important as the swaggering action that fuels it. The problem with many roguelites is the sense of disconnection in what you’re doing versus what the game world recognises you doing: endless attempts to bind Isaac or enter the Gungeon are all well and good, but the genre isn’t famously a story-heavy one.

How ‘Hades’ developers made sexuality part of the power fantasy.Weaving together considered, inspired storytelling with action that could go toe-to-toe even gaming’s most loved roguelite titans, Hades is both exceptional and essential, pitting you as one of the most complete, rounded protagonists you’ll ever meet, rebelling against something he doesn’t even comprehend. It’s attractive, it’s compelling, it’s wrathful (when it wants to be) and it’s got such a gift at getting in your head that you can understand its cult-like reputation amongst gamers and non-gamers alike. Supergiant Games recently released a patch resolving scattered Hades PS5 crashes that users had been reporting after long play sessions with the game.Hades is god-like, in every sense of the word. It’s perfect use of the roguelite formula for both gameplay and storytelling is something we’d love to see brought to other titles. We gave Hades a perfect score here at PlayStation LifeStyle, marveling at another Supergiant masterpiece that we can’t stop playing for anything. Hades also reigns as the best game on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and it may wear that crown for a good while. Scores are subject to change and move around as additional reviews are published and more games enter the list, but for now, Hades isn’t just the lord of the Underworld. ![]() The top-rated Xbox Series X games as of August 20th, 2021 are: Similar to PS4, there is no Xbox One aggregate score for Hades yet, but if it were rated the same, it would be the platform’s fourth highest-rated title. It’s one of only two games to reach 90, the other being Microsoft Flight Simulator right at 90. Even last year’s Switch and PC versions both sit at 93). Hades boasts a 94 over there (the highest rating of all platforms. Over on Xbox Series X, it’s a similar picture. In its lifetime, the PS4 has so far amassed 33 titles that are rated 90 or above. However, assuming it would score near the same, it would currently sit at number 5 on the PS4 list, tied with the likes of The Last of Us Part II, Persona 5, and a few other notable 93s. Hades hasn’t yet received any ratings on PS4, most likely because all reviewers opted to play the new-gen PS5 version.
