Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
171 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the core gameplay is relatively simple, it's fun, even after 25 hours; and the visual style, animations, music, worldbuilding, and constant variety elevate it to excellence.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the one hand, this means you won't always have a totally busted build by the time you get to the final boss--on the other hand, that means the combat has to be good enough to let you win anyway, and it is.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hades’ soundtrack is immediately recognisable and amplifies story beats; Absolum’s mostly supports the atmosphere.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main co-op issue, namely swarming players with enemy numbers, was fixed.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The team should be proud of this game, the art, the soundtrack, just all of it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters, the graphics, hit boxes, story and music is all beautifully done.
