Hades is excellent but the procedural generation is not one of its main selling points, IMO. For me it’s the story (elevated mainly by incredible characters) and the combat. The procedural generation is simply a means to funnel you to combat scenarios in randomized orders, but it’s less like diablo where entire levels are created but just a series of interconnected handcrafted rooms that are randomly connected. There is no real exploration, each room basically funnels you to the next by giving you a choice of upgrade and a different door for each. The main gameplay loop is basically - enter room, kill everything, get upgrade, go to next room, restart when you die. So if you’re looking for a diablo-clone, hades is not it - I would recommend Grim Dawn (but this doesn’t have procedural generation lol). Hades is still excellent but it’s Roguelite through and through, and one of the best ones at that.
