Just now replaying Hades, having finished it last year. In general, I dislike action games, don't want to learn key combos, and like to be able to save my progress. Yet for all that, Hades is probably (for me) the best game I have ever played. Action within each room is hectic, but in between (after you clear one and go to the next) there's time to think, power up, adjust your strategy, and then plunge into it again. The game handles death so well I actually wanted to die many times just so I could go back to the starting point and check new powerups. It was frustratingly hard (for me, casual gamer that really doesn't play action games) but even on those times I kept pushing because of the story. It's surprisingly good foe a rougelite (and action games in general). All this is to say, if you haven't played it, give it a try (at least a few runs, and explore the other character). You might be surprised.
