"Hades" on Playstation and Xbox, the tartare raised, prepared as you like it

For a part of the specialized press and the public, here it is, the best game of last year, does not displease a The Last of Us Part 2 Hegemonic in terms of awards.Excluded PC, then Switch, Hades arrived on the PlayStation and Xbox machines with its action game formula in isometric view, at the Diablo, which he joined in the hellish torments lived handle in hand.

And for good reason, here we are in the underworld of Greek mythology, hosts of the little benevolent God of the dead.It’s a teenage crisis at Hades because his son Zagreus, whom you direct, run away to join Olympus and more benevolent family figures, Zeus, Poseidon and others.As we are not supposed to flee tartare and other regions of the Kingdom of Dead, Hades sends witches, colossi and creatures with grenades and lasers (!) Kill this iconoclastic and phlegmatic offspring offspring.A treatment that has the effect...to send it back to its starting point with each death.

The context was conducive to a good old "die and retry" (game which consists in dying regularly and trying again) but Hades knows how to spice up the recipe.In terms of graphics, superb in their aspect of pages of bright colors inked, like narration, the game is shiny: each new leak modifies the course of Zagreus, the order of the rooms of the underworld, the characters crossed,And changes, by very successful dialogues, a more complex story (more tragic?) That it might seem.

The hero's repeated deaths really serve the game mechanics.Thus, the resources collected on the battlefield make you more capable of bringing you closer to the exit of hell and a confrontation with Papa Hades which will not be limited to verbal spikes, by unlocking new weapons, new capacities.We cannot decently bet on the playability alone, any energetic and fluid as it is, to reduce the waves of enemies in ashes!The developers have even thought of a welcome optional mode which strengthens you (very) gradually with each death.With very reduced loading times on new consoles, we can't wait to go back.

A supergiant game games on Xbox Series and One, PS 5 and 4, send.30 €.Exists on PC and Switch.PEGI 12.

It seems that Hades is the first appearance of Zagreus in contemporary arts and leisure.Son of the God of the Dead (we let you discover in the game which is his mother), he is sometimes also described as illegitimate offspring of Zeus, which the Courrouce Héra had cut into pieces, a massacre as only his heart was recovered.A part of the myth makes his resurrection the character of Dionysos ("born twice").All of this is ultimately quite faithful to what the player will live in hand!
