HADES is Eurogamer's 2020 GOTY

I've still yet to buy Hades as I'm holding out in the hopes for a current/next gen version but it's so cool to see Supergiant mopping up all of these awards.

Bought it in a recent Steam sale and it's one of the few 2020 games I'm still itching to play. Hope to get to it soon. I'm not really a fan of roguelikes even though I like challenging games (always hesitated to start Dead Cells too), but it seems doable to at least finish this once. Friend of mine was hooked and put a ton of hours into it.
Deserved. Went in thinking I wouldn't get on with it as I'm not generally a fan of roguelikes/lites but it turned out Supergiant had catered specifically for people like me.
Well deserved. The OST, gameplay, characters, writing and voice acting are all top notch.
I really love how they took f2p-esque multiple currencies and used them in a game without Mtx. Almost seems like an intentional statement.

Same. Hades is a good game but its not my favorite, but I'm super happy that Supergiant is getting the recognition they deserve.
Was it due to the gameplay? Hade's gameplay is more like Bastion's but far faster paced.
I wouldn't compare it to your experiences with any of their other games. It's chalk and cheese.
Do you like rogue-likes and fun combat systems? That's how you know if you'll like Hades. Compare it to something like Dead Cells or Rogue Legacy, not Bastion and Transistor.
Good for Supergiant for the eurogamer nod, but I disagree with this framing. Hades is not hostile to the genre it technically inhabits; I would argue that it's more accurate to say Supergiant fully indulged in the roguelike genre's replayability to further deepen their own storytelling and gameplay goals. Hades' characters are charming and likable which goes a long way, but laying Hades' success squarely at the feet of its cast is a disservice to its intentional and holistic design.
It's definitely more Bastion and Transistor than it is other roguelikes.
Well yes, I didn't find very satisfying wacking enemies around, but Hades does seem more fast paced and varied, I guess I'll bite while it's on sale on the eshop.
Of the "typical nominees" for GotY, this is definitely my personal pick; however, Yakuza: Like a Dragon will always be GotY in my heart.
it's my #2, that just speaks to the strength of hades that it knocked down a yakuza game on my list
Agreed, it's not a bad game by any means but not GOTY for my tastes. I much preferred Dead Cells.
I might prefer 2018 Dead Cells, but current-day Dead Cells has a difficulty balance problem and is getting too bloated for its own good. It doesn't appear Supergiant is going to be adding any significant new content to Hades, which means it will ultimately end up as my preferred game between the two. It's a wonderful, complete package as it stands.
I didn't really like Bastion and Transistor but LOVED Hades. They are all quite different.
I guess a lot of people must be "wrong" then seeing as Hades is winning a to of GotY awards.
What may I ask is the "right" answer?
