Hades

So I started this the other day and there were some doors with some icons above them, am I supposed to know what these mean/which ones am I supposed to open?

As you play more, you'll start to remember all these symbols and who they belong to, etc. But here's a quick guide.

Here’s what every door and Boon symbol means in 'Hades'

Supergiant's sleeper hit roguelike 'Hades' uses a lot of symbols to represent different things. We've broken down what they all mean.

Sweet, thanks.

Had to order a controller because WASD felt very weird. I hate controllers but hopefully it will be a better experience.

controllers are great for games like this IMO, same with platformers

Just discovered there’s an “easy” mode you can play on called God mode. I would have put this on a lot sooner. I just assumed when you died it would delete your save.

With the sequal coming out I may have to return to the original game and finally finish it. I was having great fun with it, but then got to the point where I was reliably getting to the minotaur and Thesus and died to them four times, only once killing even one of them. I think I need to put some more thought into builds...

Keep your distance from Theseus while you whittle down Asterius. And keep an eye out for the little targeting symbol that means he's about to spear you.
Also, you can carry on improving your stats with darkness so you're better each time you meet them - more hearts for instance. The game is designed for repetition - improving at each iteration.

Yeah, I was into the "let's try it again" bit, but got a bit worn out on these guys. They both just seemed to have an obnoxious amount of HP (and there's two of them...), and missing a dodge would chunk most of my health. I think I was about 18-20 runs, so I guess I need to keep going and build my stats up.

15 hours played so far and I have to say that this is one of the most addictive games I've ever played.

I really enjoyed every run so far (about 20 or so) almost beat Hades too, got him to the second phase 2 times but was too nervous to finish the job.

Music, story, art, voice acting, gameplay, everything is top notch. Best 8 euros I've ever spent.

Also, it's MUCH more enjoyable with a controller.

I managed to tear myself away after 175 hours. Still got plenty of runs in me but I wanted to get going on Dave the Diver for now.
