I've been playing Hades the last few weeks. Easily one of the best games in its genre. I just wish the boons weren't mutually exclusive so that you could get more interesting, emergent kits like you can in The Binding of Isaac. With Binding of Isaac, there's always a more ridiculous kit out there which makes it addictive to play again and see what unfolds. You can pick up lasers, bouncing bullets, and homing upgrades, and now you have homing, bouncing, lasers. (The code to make every upgrade synergize with every other upgrade must have been a real feat.) With Hades, you just get to choose between the same few boons that don't stack with each other, so the game never really changes. Your attack causes frost damage or it crits or it pushes enemies away or it reflects projectiles or it weakens enemies, but—dual boons aside—you never get to have fun mixing them together.
