(Except for Transistor, but that's a personal thing that if prompted I can go into)įor me, I love each of them almost equally for different reasons. So Bastion.īut Hades is a superior game in every way. It was the first game I can think of that carried a message of moving forward instead of endlessly trying to cover for mistakes. And the message at the end (granted, from one of the endings) is something so rarely seen in media it knocked me on the floor. But the way the music and story blend together, the moment to moment experience, is superb. A ton of fun, and very well designed, but its the first game from a new team so of course there are some gremlins. I still voted for Bastion because Bastion means something to me in a way that's difficult to express. Its as close to a perfect execution of a project as you can get. It is endlessly replayable, the mechanics are engaging. With minimal exception, every design choice is flawless, the music is flawless, the story is flawless. I will caveat this by saying Hades is far and away the best game Supergiant has made. Managed to get a win on my third escape attempt yesterday after starting fresh on GP, which I was super happy about. and I'm enjoying it maybe even more than I was when I first got into it. Transistor would be the closest to it for me, but I've run through past the epilogue on Hades, done two more full playthroughs past credit roll, and just started it up again now that it's come to Game Pass. Plus I'm just someone who wants more of the things they like, and Hades is that kind of game to an absolute tee, right down to its fine-grained customisability on the difficulty and challenge of the runs you're doing. Bastion still probably hit me the hardest of any of their games on first playthrough I think Transistor has the most interesting design and mechanics, as well as probably my favourite of their soundtracks and Pyre is where I'd say my favourite character work of theirs lies.īut as a complete package Hades kinda has it all - it's maybe not the best of their games at any one thing (aside from gameplay, perhaps), but every aspect of it comes close to their best work in that area.

I think it's Hades, which is more a factor of its repeatability than anything.
