It has been discounted 55 times in the 7 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Hades II ($29.99, scores 91) and Dreamscaper ($24.99, scores 67), are both worse buys on this math.

Hades is definitely a must-try for every single gamer out there who hasn't played this masterpiece yet.
