Worst: Hades

I still sense my blood pressure rising when I think about how long it took me to beat Hades, the award-winning roguelike from Supergiant Games—and I never once tried it high. Hades requires too much of your attention, has too many opportunities for a tiny mistake to cascade into chaos, gives you very little wiggle room for anything less than perfection. You have to make educated decisions during every Hades run that are entirely dependent on the weapon you’ve chosen to take into it—the boons and Daedalus hammers you choose, whenever you get a chance to choose them, can make or break you. Going through the wrong boss door could put you in the river Styx.

This game simply has too much room for error, and when you’re high as hell trying to eat Oreos with one hand and navigate Alecto with the other, you’re wasting both your time and the Gods’.

Hades is the gaming equivalent of taking the SAT—and you don’t want to do that stoned.
