I knew what rogue-likes were before buying so I knew what the pain threshold would be. But other rogue-likes (dead cells immediately comes to mind) offer interesting ways to create a character for each run, play with stats, and just generally make each run feel like they're worthwhile or that you get something from it. Hades has permanent boosts that carry through every run from that point on so you feel like you're at least getting somewhat stronger. Been playing 4 hours now and find the risk to reward is so off balance I'm just not picking up the cursed items - which is most items. Healing and health are also a particular bane. Starting to wish there was a refund option as $70 is a lot of money for... I mean good visuals but not a fun experience?
