Hades
Supergiant's roguelike is a masterclass in loop design and character writing. You control Zagreus, Hades' son, battling through shifting dungeons to escape the underworld. Every run advances the story — gods, family, and the house feel dynamic and responsive.
Combat is snappy, build diversity is huge, and death always moves you forward with unlocks or narrative. Art and music are outstanding; the writing is sharp and emotional in equal measure.
Hades has rightly earned its place among the best indies of the decade. A must-play for action fans, roguelike fans, or anyone who loves great storytelling.
