HADES is Eurogamer's 2020 GOTY

Resoultion doesn't look 1080 while docked (you can see how blurry it looks at times) but it's much sharper in handheld. And frames can possibly drop when chambers are full of enemies. Other than that it's been a near flawless experience.
runs great for me so far (handheld mode, haven't tried docked). 15 or so hours in.

This feels like Shakespeare in Love when Saving Private Ryan is just staring you in the face.
I haven't played it, so I'm not saying it's a bad pick, but based on what I know, it's hard for me to imagine Hades achieves more in the medium than TLOU2.

It runs great. Just be warned that in handheld mode the text is incredibly small and really difficult to read at times. Hope they can add a setting to change text size.
Runs near perfect on Switch
50+ hours on it and after the Patch It plays smooth 95% of the time
For real. Hades fans are hyped. Nobody talking about TLOU2 until TLOU2 fans bring it up. Lol.
I'm not saying anything about TLOU2 but Hades is one of the best games I've ever played and clearly many outlets agree with me. It is super deserving on many levels. It isn't that hard to see when it essentially perfects a whole genre of games in one swoop.
Maybe you should give it a try rather than dismiss it like this.
Well some people like Gweneth Paltrow getting sexed up. Don't be so narrow minded.
Every year we get people filling their diapers over variety in taste. So funny, always.
I've played it for a dozen hours or more on the switch in handheld mode, works perfectly fine. Even better docked of course.
Honestly I think it's a perfect game for the switch.
Also, TLOU2 is an amazing game and probably still my GOTY for 2020, but I can think of no development team that I am happier for right now in receiving the accolades they are than Supergiant Games. They are a team of really cool people and each game they put out has been a blast, oozing with style and unique gameplay.
Thanks for all the responses. I would definitely prefer to play it on the Switch, buying today.
It is on sale right now for $20 on both Steam and Nintendo E-Shop. Normally it is $25
The only issue with Hades on Switch is the resolution is a bit low when docked....but you'll get used to it within 10 minutes. It doesn't bother me anymore (and apparently resolution is perfect in handheld). Overall, it's one of the best games on Switch, period.
You are massively underestimating the storytelling and everything else in Hades.
I haven't played TLOU2 yet (just installed it last night!). Hades is really good though so I'm not surprised. This is coming from someone who considers TLOU one of the very best of all time. I can't wait to dive into two though and see for myself.
it runs perfectly fine. I've played it for more than 50 hours in handheld and didn't have any problems
Why even play yourself and offer your opinion on a subject when by your own admission you don't have the requisite experience to do so?
I didn't offer any opinion on the game itself. I'm only saying the awards dynamic feels like critics intentionally avoiding the obvious choice to reward a plucky achiever.
absolutely this. It doesn't have millions of dollars spent on mocap and cut scene visuals but storytelling is amazing.
As someone who thinks TLoU2 is brilliant, particularly in how it handles narrative and structure...
...I think Hades' handling of both is far more interesting.
Both games are worthy of their accolades.
If you haven't played it why are you even commenting about what it does or doesn't do? Shit makes 0 sense.
Or maybe they just like Hades more?
I got no interest in TLOU2 so it's not gonna be my GotY either.
I don't think I will ever get the appeal of rogue-lites. If it weren't for predatory monetization in any form, procedural generation would be the worst thing to ever happen to video games.

If that's true then you've piqued my interest, but my point stands separate from HADES.
You are offering an opinion on the game by implying it isn't worthy of the awards it is getting.
But this is a thread about Hades; so do your research and make your point elsewhere
I'd be surprised if there has been year since this site existed when there hasn't been a thread about Eurogamer's GotY
It is one of the bigger gaming publications.
In what way do you suspect TLOU2 achieves more in the medium than Hades? Does the story of brutal vengeance inherently mean more in terms of storytelling than what's in Hades? Does a linear third person shooter mean more in terms of gameplay than what Hades offers in comparison? What metric are you using to base this off of?
congrats! i hate roguelikes but love this game. idk how they did it but the game is amazing
that's I think why I'm happy it's winning. it made a genre accessible and fun to someone who typically dislikes it

The guy hasn't even played Hades and somehow knows that TLOU2 did more the medium. Serious clownshoes
