Hades, the roguelike dungeon crawler game made by Supergiant Entertainment, has won multiple prizes at the New York Game Awards including the most important one as the Game of the Year.
New York Videogame Critics Circle president and founder Harold Goldberg said:
All of the nominated games were extraordinary, but Hades touched our critics in many ways, and we all kept coming back for more. From the superb acting, to the compelling writing, to the wondrous artwork, to the stirring music, to the balanced gameplay, Hades very much deserves to be the 10th Annual New York Game Awards’ Game of the Year.
Amir Rao, Supergiant Games’ studio director, stated:
We are very grateful to the New York Videogame Critics Circle judges for honoring Hades in a variety of categories during tonight's awards. Our team is all the more thankful to be able to safely work during such a challenging time. We also want to thank our players who helped make Hades what it's become, and who will ensure we can keep making games together for a long time.
