In Hades, there’s a lot of clever banter that makes the game stand out, but the boss battles amp things up even more. When you face off against Theseus, it might seem less like a battle and more like a polite tea gathering. As one player put it, “The conversations in Hades sometimes make me think I could skip certain boss fights because they seemed so friendly.” This shows how playful the game is, as the chat before the fight gives you the impression that perhaps, just perhaps, you could avoid the impending beatdown if you manage to win Theseus and his golden calf over. While humor is a big part of this, it doesn’t make the game any less challenging; instead, it adds an extra layer, making the sting of defeat a bit more bearable, especially when you think about the absurdity of the dialogue just before the fight.
