Hades isnโt just another roguelike โ itโs a myth-filled adventure that stole the hearts ๐ of gamers everywhere. Tight combat ๐ฏ, rich Greek mythology ๐๏ธ, and charming characters ๐ made it one of the best indie games ever. Butโฆ when players reached the ending, some felt a little let down ๐.
Letโs dive in ๐โโ๏ธ and see why this epic tale had fans cheering ๐ and groaning ๐ฉ at the same time.
๐ Whatโs the Ending All About?

After countless battles โ๏ธ, failed runs ๐, and triumphant victories ๐, Zagreus finally defeats his father, Hades ๐๐ฅ. What follows? A short epilogue / Olympian party ๐๐ท โ a gathering of the gods ๐. Itโs a big dealโฆ but for some, it felt too short โณ.
๐ Why Fans Are Upset
1๏ธโฃ Effort vs. Reward ๐ชโก๏ธ๐ฌ
Players spent hours upon hours โฑ๏ธ grinding runs, collecting nectar ๐ฏ, unlocking weapons ๐ก๏ธ, and building bonds ๐. After all that effort, the ending felt like a quick cutscene ๐ฅ โ not the grand finale fans dreamed of ๐ค.
2๏ธโฃ Party Feels Flat ๐โก๏ธ๐
Many wanted a more interactive party ๐ โ chatting with gods, dancing ๐, celebrating ๐พ. Instead, itโs mostly dialogue bubbles ๐ฌ. Fans expected fireworks ๐, but got sparklers โจ.
3๏ธโฃ No Big Emotional Punch ๐
With Zagreusโ emotional journey ๐ขโก๏ธ๐, players wanted closure ๐. The ending gave answers, sureโฆ but no massive tearjerker moment ๐ญ or heart-shaking reveal ๐ฅ.
4๏ธโฃ Expectation vs. Reality ๐คฏโก๏ธ๐ถ
Community hype ๐ had people imagining crazy finales ๐๐ฅโก๏ธ โ huge cutscenes ๐ฌ, godly betrayals โ๏ธ, or epic family reconciliations ๐จโ๐ฆ. Instead, it wrapped up quietly ๐คซ.
๐ Why Some Fans Still Love It โค๏ธ
Not everyoneโs upset ๐. Many argue the ending is:
โจ Bittersweet but meaningful โ The journey mattered more than the destination ๐ฃ๏ธ.
โจ Replayable โ Thanks to endless dialogue cycles ๐, you can still discover new scenes.
โจ Short & sweet ๐ฌ โ Some feel dragging it out wouldโve ruined the pacing.
๐ก What Could Have Made It Better?

Gamers had plenty of ideas ๐ญ for a stronger ending:
- More cutscenes ๐ฅ with gods laughing ๐, feasting ๐, and clinking glasses ๐ท.
- Letting players walk around the party ๐ถโโ๏ธ, chatting ๐ฃ๏ธ with everyone.
- Extra closure ๐ for character arcs โ like romance ๐ or rivalries โก๏ธ.
- A โPost-Credits Free Roamโ ๐ก to chill in the House of Hades after the big finale.
๐ฎ Final Thoughts
The ending of Hades is like a Greek tragedy ๐ญ โ powerful, beautiful, but a little sad ๐ข. It gave us closure โ , but many wanted MORE ๐ฅโก๏ธ๐.
At the end of the day ๐ , if players are still debating ๐ฃ๏ธ and dreaming ๐ญ about what could have been, it means Hades truly struck a chord ๐ถ in gaming history ๐.
๐ Some left disappointedโฆ
โค๏ธ Others left satisfiedโฆ
๐ฅ But everyone agrees: Hades is unforgettable.
