Hades 2: The Game We Cherish Most in 2025 and the Reason It Wasn't Awarded a Bestest Best Review


For the last month, we’ve been passionately discussing the titles we deem to be the finest of 2025. In line with our tradition, our choices for the RPS Advent Calendar haven’t been ranked in any order; each title occupies a unique spot in our hearts.

That said, the game behind door number 24 is particularly noteworthy. After counting the votes from our team, it was a tight competition, with just a five-point margin, yet a victor was found.

RPS’s top game of 2025 is Hades 2.

You may be curious as to why we didn’t give Supergiant’s roguelite gem a Bestest Best sticker. Even though it was our leading choice, various factors played a role in the decision, including the game’s reception, its originality, and the influence it has had on the gaming community.

Hades 2 engrossed us with its intriguing story, lively gameplay, and the flawless fusion of myth and contemporary narrative. The game builds on the achievements of its predecessor, bringing in fresh characters, obstacles, and a richly crafted world that encourages players to delve into its depths time and again.

Supergiant Games has once more showcased their skill in creating an absorbing roguelite adventure that resonates with both genre enthusiasts and newcomers. The game’s visuals, soundtrack, and voice performances are exceptional, enhancing an immersive environment that draws players back again and again.

Though Hades 2 might not have claimed the Bestest Best sticker, its position as our preferred game of 2025 speaks volumes regarding its caliber and the enjoyment it has provided to our team. We eagerly anticipate how it will continue to develop and motivate the gaming community in the future.
