I love the slight 4th wall breaking in this game. I haven't done/seen everything. but it's obvious the prince has a small amount of meta knowledge. Just enough to hear the narrator or other "player only" things. Sometimes playing off other things. Like saying to Thanatos "How else am I supposed to show my affection?" when you give him Nectar, like he knows that's the only mechanic available to him. But it's only slight. I don't think he actually knows he's in a game.
@@rocovailo2862 "How else am I supposed to show my affection?" - I think this mean that Zag does not see any way other than smal tokens of affection that could be understandable by other person and taken into heart. I don't think it's anyhow meta, mate.
"Wait, isn't this... Eurydice and Orpheus?" That they are, Zagreus. And this tune was definitely worth the 5 Diamonds. Every single one... and every single run up through Hell.
@Zatchooze Naut So the end credits play a different song depending on your progression in the story ? That's awesome, but knowing Supergiant I shouldn't be surprised. They did that for Pyre too.
Zatchooze Naut the game isn’t done after beating hades 10 times tho only the main story is done but you can still continue the rest of the story and bring everyone together
*Starting the game:* ''Ok it's all about killing monsters and just getting out of here.'' *After some million deaths:* "I love my family, I love you Dusa, I love Skelly, I love Meg, I love my house."
Can you imagine being part of the Supergiant team and Darren's like "Yeah, I finished the credits song, you guys wanna hear?" And then he plays you one of the best video game songs of the decade and doesn't even realize it cuz he's such a humble dude.
Have you seen the behind the scenes of In The Blood with Austin Wintory? Immediately, he was like, "Darren did a really good job composing for orchestra for a guy who claims he can't compose for orchestra."
I really don't see what's so liked about this song. I heavily prefer orchestra over rock or metal, and I find the songs in this game with rock/metal segments to be better than this. The vocals are just really meh and the instruments are also meh compared to what you hear the rest of the game. Wanna hear actually good end credits music? All 4 variations of weight of the world from NieR:Automata and all 3 variations of ashes of dreams from NieR replicant. Now THATS good ending music worth calling contenders for best songs of the decade
“Home is not where you live but who cares when you’re gone.” Lyrical genius, and highly quotable. Thank you, SuperGiant Games, for a moving finale, and an excellent Early Access game as well! All the ambrosia in the world belongs to thee.
The lyrical quality of Darren Korb's work is what makes Supergiant Games my favorites, and what rockets them beyond any other games in their genre, in my opinion.
@@warriorfire8103 I agree. Each time the song plays on repeat, all the good chills come over me. This song is amazing, along with all the other Hades Tracks
@submalevolent grace Looks like he literally said that sometime in the last 10-15 years. It takes a lot more than that to be a proverb, or even a well known quote. It's a good sentiment though.
Cant get over how this game is just $18. It has so much content. I thought the whole die and start over would be linear but after 10 hours in im still seeing new places all the time, new dialogue constantly, bosses switching it up, tons of abilities, tons of weapon upgrades.... the game never stops surprising you and throws new stuff at you. Definetely my favourite game this year.
Such is the nature of a rogue-lite, but Hades manages to differ by having every single line of dialogue fully voice acted. I swear, the VAs for this game must live in the studio.
I'd say hades is on the upper end of rogue lites, in terms of gameplay hours and in terms of quality. Hell, I'd buy it just to sit and listen to eurydice and orpheus, the quality gameplay is just a bonus
Couldn’t believe when Hades just stood aside. I had a rough run that final time, lost a deaths defiance to Theseus and another to the satyr cultists. Fully expected to lose and he just let me pass. Then this song.
Same. Crap run with the spear, no DD left, I knew the 10th win was something special, but I also know there was no way I was winning this fight. Then I did.
I had the complete opposite actually. I had the best loadout id ever gotten (with poseidons exclusive access boon) and I was so ready to ace the fight.. but then there wasn't one. The song made up for it though
Funny enough, I finished a bunch of Prophecies at once because Hades let me through. I had the "Only one Second Chance" Mirror upgrade and the Gauntlets left to finish those prophecies, I left the temple at half HP, ready to give it my best shot... And I was allowed to go through. Gotta say, easiest prophecies I've ever fullfilled xDDDDDDD
for me, I had all death defiances, aphrodite/zeus duo (gain 1% god gauge every .25 seconds, capped at 25%) and posidons call at a high level. I was ready to crush him, but he just let me pass
Man, the exact same thing happened to me! Was trying out heat for the first time and the run was getting really rough, and I was resigning myself to defeat. Made everything hit 10 times harder, especially because I wasn't even counting runs and didn't expect this to be the one.
This was a journey I never expected to go on or care so much about. It started as an escape to the surface. It ended with a ferry ride home and a broken family that you bring together. Supergiant, i really can't thank you enough for this. In the name of Persephone the Queen, you have opened my heart.
Hades is one of those games that, at a glance, seems repetitive and shallow. But the minute you give it a chance you realise just how clever and interesting it is.
For me Hades is probably the best game I have ever played, gameplay, story, graphics/art direction, voice acting is all perfect, it may not have won GOTY because these awards don't work like that and AAAs will always win awards over better games but there will be many people who feel the same as you and I.
*spoilers* I had the biggest smile on my face watching zag and persephone travel home on the river styx, and this song made it 10x better, what a great ending
you just smiled ? man I almost shed a tear, the ending the story the scene the family finally reunited and this song all mixed together is so fcking damn emotional

This song can only be described as bone chilling. Listening to this at the end of the game destroyed me emotionally, I cannot believe I exist in the same timeline as this masterpiece.
I got very emotional by this point in the game. This game is an absolute masterpiece. Worth far more than it's selling price. My upmost respect to Supergiant Games. You have a new fan.
Game pass twat here who just achieved 10 escapes and got to the credits with this tune and I also felt very emotional. Not entirely sure why but wow, amazing game.
Having played since the game first went into beta I also got emotional and cried a little during the credits. Such a perfect ending so the long journey Supergiant went on making this amazing game
This song is so gratifying and emotionally charged from all the character's angle that it floored me watching the boat ride at the end. It was a great journey; thank you Supergiant for the depth and impact you bring to the gaming world. Time for another escape. Cheers.
I want to read a hades graphic novel, blood and darkness i would read a whole series. See Zag go to Olympus, interact with mortals...if they ever could figure out the whole bound to the underworld thing...
A theory I have with this. Zagreus was still born. Due to Hades' occupation as the Leading Lord/God of the Underworld he was told he would never have an Heir. Persephone unable to bear the pain of losing her son felt she had no more connection to the underworld and left to live on the mortal plane away from humans, gods and the underworld. Nyx intervened and brought Zagreus back to life. In the subsequent parts of the game as you learn the true story. Zagreus cant stay on the mortal plane for very long. He only has a few hours at best. Before the River Styx takes him back to the underworld into his home. Zagreus though brought back to life still died. And due to the Fates' prophecies. Zagreus was never suppose to be alive to begin with. And in so letting Nyx bring Zagreus back to life the Fates have forever bound him to the Underworld. I'm hoping in future latches we can. Meet the fates and actually see what is the reason why Zagreus truly cant leave the Underworld
I was having a generally difficult run and wasa thinking "I dont think ill be able to kill hades with what i have." Completely put me off guard that run.
i went into this game basically blind 2 weeks ago, i was expecting a fun roguelite, what i got was a deeply impactful story, amazing music like this, beautiful scenery and animations, amazing characters who i adore talking to every time (dusa is probably my favorite), as well as it being some of the most fun in a game ive had in ages. this song playing during the credits mightve been one of the tipping points in making this game one of, if not my absolute favorites of all time. i have almost 100 hours in jt now and im not stopping till i 100% this game i swear
I mean... they used a real orchestra for their OST, not some software but real instruments... I am speechless and grateful as a musician! It makes it a 1000 times better!
@@elend1236 well the only example i can think of is of 2 wii games compare twilight princess and skyward sword twilight princess wasn't orchestrated and it shows at times, mostly in wind instruments, like trumpets and that sort of things there's way morr depths in instruments when.. it's real instruments and not made only on a computer
@@elend1236 real instruments have a gritty imperfection to them, the quality of the sound isn't perfect, no matter how good someone is, and that makes it better. real humans have imperfections, little crookedness to their noses or ears, their limbs. artificial robots made to look like humans freak us the fuck out because there isn't anything wrong. kind of the same concept! the overall result is richer, more natural, and our ear likes it better.
I moved out of my moms this year. I’ve been trying my hardest to accept that this is home now ““Home, is not where you live but who cares when you’re gone” I felt that.
Honestly, that wouldn't be too wrong of a title. If Hades is the God of the Underworld, basically the realm of the dead, and Persephone is the Goddess of Spring, the return of life, it'd make sense that their son would be the God of blood, something representing both life and death simultaneously.
@@kaylenvee8150 It also ties into Hades' theme of Family, since blood is what ties them all together, and Zagreus ends up being the catalyst for old feuds being laid to rest and family coming back together
I beat Hades main quest after about 40-50 hours in a 3-4 marathon during a long weekend. I haven't had a game suck me in like that since I played Divinity Original Sin 2 for the first time like four years ago. Hades is an absolute masterpiece and I regret having only just recently picked it up.
I had just gotten the credits today and damn. You fight your way through all of these hellish places, facing against the most ferocious monsters Hell itself can pit against you, and you die so many times just to achieve the outcome Zagreus is looking for. And that outcome was a ride home alongside your mother, passing by the places you fought tooth and nail to get through, going back to the place you were running from. I love this game.
I like how, when they sing about home being people who cares when you’re gone you can hear a few notes of Hades theme. Another evidence that Hades truly cares about Zagreus
I just got to the moment this song hits and I can't believe how beautiful and emotional it was. Thank you SGG for this journey and absolute masterpiece that's called Hades. My only regret is not having played it earlier. Without shadow of a doubt, my GOTY 2020.
i wish their is GOTY for indie games they are many master pieces great music , art , gameplay , even the story is amazing can domnate most of AAA games
Darren Korb is probably my favorite composer when It comes to game music. Each OST has its own special traits. Loving the energy and atmosphere in the music of Hades!
the guy who wrote the soundtrack is damn genius, i mean every song from the ost i play i immediately like and it fits the vibe of mythology and stuff but also it's so cool and catchy, no matter its a ballad or fire battle theme
I'm so happy knowing the two people who did the vocals for Bastion's music made a return as Eurydice and Orpheus. Such a great duo who make god-tier music.
Hearing Hades' leitmotif expanded into the full song really gave weight to the ending. All those deaths, hearing that theme over and over, all those victories, and hearing that theme culminate in this true masterpiece made for one memorable boat ride back home.
My boyfriend finished the game yesterday and I was so happy when this started; he was very surprised I already knew the song. Thanks randomly generated TH-cam playlist! Orpheus' voice blows me away every time.
Run all you like From the place you belong It’s always there It’s in the air Your dearest kin Below the skin This has to be, easily, my most favorite part of the song because of the impact it has. 10/10, love you supergiant, Darren, and Ashley
Literally when I thought this song couldn't get any better, I see it's produced and orchestrated by Austin Wintory, who I've been following since the Journey OST!! DAMN y'all givin me CHILLS over here!
Supergiant, I know this would never happen but for the love of blood and darkness, I just want more of Hades, DLC or something, it doesn't even have to be free, I'll be more than happy to pay for it. Absolutely love this game and I haven't enjoyed a game for years and this game deserves every bit of praise and awards it has rightfully gotten. I'll even settle for a Cerberus petting simulator.
I hope if they can bring Heracles or Odysseus to be bosses in the Elysium, to give more variety after so many times defeating Asterius and "the other guy"
Fates Weave their threads Our lives are sewn Born To a life All but our own We feel it inside Our bones It’s in the blood It’s in the blood It’s in the blood Loves In your life Live ever on Home Is not where you live But who cares when you’re gone They’ll follow you to The beyond It’s in the blood It’s in the blood Run all you like From the place you belong It’s always there It’s in the air Your dearest kin Below the skin It’s in the blood
Next time someone tells me that video games are not artistic endeavors I'll just link this song to them. This game is such an excellent piece of storytelling and this song is the massive gem atop a mountain of gold.
I’d you didn’t cry when Zagreus and Persephone rode Charon’s boat through the River Styx while this banger of a song accompanied their return home… then I don’t know what sort of person you are. This is art. And one of the greatest video game stories ever told.
"loves in your life live ever on, home is not where you live, but who cares when you're gone, they'll follow you to the beyond" interpreting it in a more lively way, it reads as "love can last forever, home isn't a place, but rather the people you love in that place, they'll follow you anywhere you go" interpreting it in a more morbid way, it reads as "memories of love live forever after you die, the realm of the living isn't your home, you shouldn't care when you die, because they will join you in the afterlife eventually" the people who made these lyrics deserve a medal
I've been working on this game all summer and I finally beat it last night. The credits gave me chills. This will always be one of my all time favorite games.
This song caught me so off guard in the BEST way! I almost wish that every time you escaped you can watch the credits again. I would get excited every time.
After the announcement for Hades 2 earlier today, I couldn't resist coming back here, now feeling nostalgia rather than simply excitement and fulfillment back then for completing the story. God, I hope the sequel is gonna be either be as good or even better than the 1st game. To anyone here with me enjoying the song 1 more time all, I can say is Cheers! 🍷
Got credits to roll over the weekend. The goosebumps from this song persist. I love this game unconditionally and dearly. Hearty thanks to all staff and talent.
I just lost my mother about six months ago after a long battle with breast cancer, and bringing "mom" home at the end, plus this song... it brought me to my knees. It felt like it was made for me. I'm not ashamed to say I cried. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Finished the game story yesterday. I have never been so attentive to an end credits music. And of course the story with it. I spent a lot of time in the game to make Orpheus song again, and after hearing him in good ridance, In the blood was perfection. Hades, best game :D Thanks you for this masterpiece.
God. I cleared the main story last night and I was so hyped to use my awesome combo on Hades. Then he just let me go. Then I got to hear this amazing song and it just... de-escalated me. This song is so beautiful.

I want to read a hades graphic novel, blood and darkness i would read a whole series. See Zag go to Olympus, interact with mortals...if they ever could figure out the whole bound to the underworld thing...
A theory I have with this.
Zagreus was still born. Due to Hades' occupation as the Leading Lord/God of the Underworld he was told he would never have an Heir.
Persephone unable to bear the pain of losing her son felt she had no more connection to the underworld and left to live on the mortal plane away from humans, gods and the underworld.
Nyx intervened and brought Zagreus back to life. In the subsequent parts of the game as you learn the true story. Zagreus cant stay on the mortal plane for very long. He only has a few hours at best. Before the River Styx takes him back to the underworld into his home.
Zagreus though brought back to life still died. And due to the Fates' prophecies. Zagreus was never suppose to be alive to begin with. And in so letting Nyx bring Zagreus back to life the Fates have forever bound him to the Underworld.
I'm hoping in future latches we can. Meet the fates and actually see what is the reason why Zagreus truly cant leave the Underworld
@@Monk_TheG A DLC where Zagreus fights the Fates so he can maybe leave the Underworld would be neat.
a fight with the fates would be fuckin awesome
HONESTLY
@@andreasballe7470 YOO that sounds fucking great
the fact that this song slaps THIS hard, absolutely unbelievable, incredible
"Home, it's not where you live, but who cares when you're gone"
I really love that line
I was having a generally difficult run and wasa thinking "I dont think ill be able to kill hades with what i have." Completely put me off guard that run.
omg same!!!
haha same! was a terrible run, went there with barely any life left and lucked out :))
It was the opposite for me. 2k crit Excalibur run and I didn't get to test it :(
I was like "aw man... I spent that gold for a death defiance for nothing?!"
I was worried because i suck with stigyus but i thought I could take hades
NOPE
Supergiant Games will always dominate when it comes to music!
And games lol
Listen to Danny B and swiftly change your mind. CotND has an amazing soundtrack. Also the Celeste soundtrack
@@Time_Ripper1 why can't you have all 3 dominate?
@@RushWheeler actually, good idea
I can't believe how can Darren get better and better
i went into this game basically blind 2 weeks ago, i was expecting a fun roguelite, what i got was a deeply impactful story, amazing music like this, beautiful scenery and animations, amazing characters who i adore talking to every time (dusa is probably my favorite), as well as it being some of the most fun in a game ive had in ages. this song playing during the credits mightve been one of the tipping points in making this game one of, if not my absolute favorites of all time. i have almost 100 hours in jt now and im not stopping till i 100% this game i swear
This song reharmonizes the death leitmotif and I'm absolutely floored, this is the greatest OST to a game I have ever heard
I mean... they used a real orchestra for their OST, not some software but real instruments... I am speechless and grateful as a musician! It makes it a 1000 times better!
Can you share what’s the differences to be picked up? Im uninitiated
@@elend1236
well the only example i can think of is of 2 wii games
compare twilight princess and skyward sword
twilight princess wasn't orchestrated and it shows at times, mostly in wind instruments, like trumpets and that sort of things
there's way morr depths in instruments when.. it's real instruments and not made only on a computer
@@elend1236 real instruments have a gritty imperfection to them, the quality of the sound isn't perfect, no matter how good someone is, and that makes it better. real humans have imperfections, little crookedness to their noses or ears, their limbs. artificial robots made to look like humans freak us the fuck out because there isn't anything wrong. kind of the same concept! the overall result is richer, more natural, and our ear likes it better.
I genuinely got chills when this song started playing during the boat ride. Just a beautiful ending to what has become my favorite game in the genre.
I moved out of my moms this year. I’ve been trying my hardest to accept that this is home now
““Home, is not where you live but who cares when you’re gone”
I felt that.
This has to be the first time in my life in which I cry while listening to a non-sad song
Yep, this track can pull a drop or three.
I came back to listen again and it got me again, damn it
Imagine hearing this in The Game Awards!
Edit: Welp.
I wish
@Poo fingers Mcgee legit cant tell if thats a pyre reference or not. oh wait your username tells me its not
I wish man but the jury already pretty much unzipped Neil druckman’s pants
knock on wood!
yesyesyesyesyes
The biggest hurt in 2020 isn't Covid, or the elections, or anything else like that. It's that Hades didn't win for soundtrack at the game awards.
so true
DOOM*
I'm mad that this game didn't fucking sweep at the Game Awards
@@dafroakie9984 I still don't know how Hades didn't get a single award, like come on it's better than half of the nominated games.
@@renato0013 what? Hades got best action game award...what are you talking about?
This becomes far more impressive when you realize every non-lyre instrument is just Eurydice and Orpheus beat boxing and scat singing
*I payed 5 diamonds to hear this masterpiece and didn't even get to hear the singing*
same, mate, same
I guess it's because of the consistency, maybe if u sometime find them together they will sing this
@@Nagaharo i wish...
I mean, the Instrumental is still pretty good.
Ya fooled me for a second there
"So Achilles thinks I'm the God of Blood?"
The Blood is the Life.
Blood the hunt and resurrection
Honestly, that wouldn't be too wrong of a title. If Hades is the God of the Underworld, basically the realm of the dead, and Persephone is the Goddess of Spring, the return of life, it'd make sense that their son would be the God of blood, something representing both life and death simultaneously.
@@kaylenvee8150 It also ties into Hades' theme of Family, since blood is what ties them all together, and Zagreus ends up being the catalyst for old feuds being laid to rest and family coming back together
"we are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone, by the blood"
Anyone here because a new chapter in the tale of Hades is coming?
Me too
Im curious if zag will b in 2nd part
No im here because its just art
Nah
No, just defeated Hades in the 10th time
I've always felt that brass instruments belong in metal music
You might want to look into Diablo Swing Orchestra.
@@charlesajones77 Thank you, kind man! That might be all I've ever wanted
Check out Ottone Pesante! It's an Italian metal band comprised exclusively of brass instruments and drums. You'll love it!
@@MrMrFreddy this is perfect! Thank you
its ska time
This song just start at the perfect moment in the game. The feelings... I didn't feel that since a long time in a video game.
i get diablo 2 and 3 soundtrack vibes from this game...
Same
I beat Hades main quest after about 40-50 hours in a 3-4 marathon during a long weekend. I haven't had a game suck me in like that since I played Divinity Original Sin 2 for the first time like four years ago. Hades is an absolute masterpiece and I regret having only just recently picked it up.
I had just gotten the credits today and damn. You fight your way through all of these hellish places, facing against the most ferocious monsters Hell itself can pit against you, and you die so many times just to achieve the outcome Zagreus is looking for.
And that outcome was a ride home alongside your mother, passing by the places you fought tooth and nail to get through, going back to the place you were running from.
I love this game.
the chords are the main theme in a different key. amazing.
Same chord progression in the same key (C). Still very cool.
Ashley Barrett has such an incredible voice. Like holy Hell, it's so good
I got chills when this song starting playing during the credits. Absolutely amazing game.
Reached this ending now. What a game and what a song. Totally perfect for the ending with all of this symphonic metal vibe.
Got that right \o/ 😎
I like how, when they sing about home being people who cares when you’re gone you can hear a few notes of Hades theme. Another evidence that Hades truly cares about Zagreus
I love that I wasn't the only one who noticed! The composer really outdid himself with this one!
I just got to the moment this song hits and I can't believe how beautiful and emotional it was. Thank you SGG for this journey and absolute masterpiece that's called Hades. My only regret is not having played it earlier. Without shadow of a doubt, my GOTY 2020.
i wish their is GOTY for indie games they are many master pieces great music , art , gameplay , even the story is amazing can domnate most of AAA games
@@ammariessa7424 there is an indie category at the Goty awards
@@matthiaskopp9305 yeah I just forgot that or didn't notice one of them was divinity orginal sin
rip
Darren Korb is probably my favorite composer when It comes to game music. Each OST has its own special traits. Loving the energy and atmosphere in the music of Hades!
i like how the url has "yes" in it
Hah, nice catch.
@@disnagburnazog9552 you could even say... a perfect catch...
@@000-kiuu I CAUGHT A STURGEON!!
the guy who wrote the soundtrack is damn genius, i mean every song from the ost i play i immediately like and it fits the vibe of mythology and stuff but also it's so cool and catchy, no matter its a ballad or fire battle theme
The guy who composed all the OSTs is the same guy who voices Zagreus and Skelly.
I'm so happy knowing the two people who did the vocals for Bastion's music made a return as Eurydice and Orpheus. Such a great duo who make god-tier music.
Hearing Hades' leitmotif expanded into the full song really gave weight to the ending. All those deaths, hearing that theme over and over, all those victories, and hearing that theme culminate in this true masterpiece made for one memorable boat ride back home.
My boyfriend finished the game yesterday and I was so happy when this started; he was very surprised I already knew the song. Thanks randomly generated TH-cam playlist! Orpheus' voice blows me away every time.
Run all you like
From the place you belong
It’s always there
It’s in the air
Your dearest kin
Below the skin
This has to be, easily, my most favorite part of the song because of the impact it has. 10/10, love you supergiant, Darren, and Ashley
fits the theme of the game so perfectly
below the skin
The bloodline of the gods
and if you focus on the cello melody, it's the same as On the Coast
The fact that that part also has a leitmotif to the surface theme, which plays when you try to leave your home.
Literally when I thought this song couldn't get any better, I see it's produced and orchestrated by Austin Wintory, who I've been following since the Journey OST!! DAMN y'all givin me CHILLS over here!
I wanna see a Bond-style Hades intro set to this song
oh my god I'm getting so many ideas, I wish I knew how to draw well and how to animate. I would have gotten started right away!
YES IT FITS SO NICELY
@@GlydeBorealis learn. staring now. make a guy swing an axe over his head
that needs to be a thing.
Supergiant, I know this would never happen but for the love of blood and darkness, I just want more of Hades, DLC or something, it doesn't even have to be free, I'll be more than happy to pay for it. Absolutely love this game and I haven't enjoyed a game for years and this game deserves every bit of praise and awards it has rightfully gotten. I'll even settle for a Cerberus petting simulator.
I hope if they can bring Heracles or Odysseus to be bosses in the Elysium, to give more variety after so many times defeating Asterius and "the other guy"
I'd love an Apollo dlc.
And I might be the only person that wants a continuation of Transistor story ot a game set in that universe. :)
Thy prayers have been answered
sequel
2:37 is amazing, getting goosebumps all over
Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn
Born
To a life
All but our own
We feel it inside
Our bones
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
Loves
In your life
Live ever on
Home
Is not where you live
But who cares when you’re gone
They’ll follow you to
The beyond
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
Run all you like
From the place you belong
It’s always there
It’s in the air
Your dearest kin
Below the skin
It’s in the blood
they're in the description tho

thank you kind sir. Now we need to get this pinned!
oh it's actually in the description now, nice!

not to say the best of ik theres some 0
I was genuinely open mouthed when I beat Hades and this song was playing. This is a genuine fucking masterpiece
before finishing the game this game sounded so melancholic
Next time someone tells me that video games are not artistic endeavors I'll just link this song to them. This game is such an excellent piece of storytelling and this song is the massive gem atop a mountain of gold.
I can’t even explain how good it feels to finally be able to listen to this
The first time you return home without dying, this theme truly feels like triumph over everything you’ve been through.
I’d you didn’t cry when Zagreus and Persephone rode Charon’s boat through the River Styx while this banger of a song accompanied their return home… then I don’t know what sort of person you are.
This is art.
And one of the greatest video game stories ever told.
I get chills everytime listening to this, it even made me cry. Masterpiece.
i think its because its in the blood
absolutely agree
When 3:02 hits... * aggressive headbanging *
Lawd, these horns!
Saw a playthrough and was not disappointed when hearing the ending credits...instantly looked for this masterpiece
"loves in your life live ever on, home is not where you live, but who cares when you're gone, they'll follow you to the beyond"
interpreting it in a more lively way, it reads as "love can last forever, home isn't a place, but rather the people you love in that place, they'll follow you anywhere you go"
interpreting it in a more morbid way, it reads as "memories of love live forever after you die, the realm of the living isn't your home, you shouldn't care when you die, because they will join you in the afterlife eventually"
the people who made these lyrics deserve a medal
I've been working on this game all summer and I finally beat it last night. The credits gave me chills. This will always be one of my all time favorite games.
This song caught me so off guard in the BEST way! I almost wish that every time you escaped you can watch the credits again. I would get excited every time.
It's awesome to know that we're going to be getting more music like this soon.
After the announcement for Hades 2 earlier today, I couldn't resist coming back here, now feeling nostalgia rather than simply excitement and fulfillment back then for completing the story. God, I hope the sequel is gonna be either be as good or even better than the 1st game. To anyone here with me enjoying the song 1 more time all, I can say is Cheers! 🍷
Another beautiful song from our godlike duo
literal chills wtf. now im playing the sequel. feels like a dream
Bruh... Darren went so hard on the OST. Well done on v1.0!
Congratulations on the release of the most fun game I've played this decade!!
We were all really waiting for the 1.0 release just for the Ashley Barrett feature
I mean she's been in since Asphodel with "Good Riddance" but it's always great to hear more!
and it was worth it
Nobody told me this game was the Greek Mythology version of Parent Trap.
Masterpiece.
I think the only credit song I got literal chills from omg
Every day I fall more In love with SGG soundtracks.
JOIN US. ONE OF US
Got credits to roll over the weekend. The goosebumps from this song persist. I love this game unconditionally and dearly. Hearty thanks to all staff and talent.
I just lost my mother about six months ago after a long battle with breast cancer, and bringing "mom" home at the end, plus this song... it brought me to my knees. It felt like it was made for me. I'm not ashamed to say I cried. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Greek mythology, good life lessons, killing monsters... It really is the whole package
It's a game about family!
Dude- hearing this song during the credits was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. I also *totally* wasn’t sobbing
Guys, I think it’s in the blood
whats in the blood tho
STARFYLOVESCHU, it is
@@hikawagetsbitches boiling blood, the one that makes you take double the damage
Its
covid19?
...
wait.
I love how during the chorus at 2:10 you can hear pieces of On the Coast playing as well
Finished the game story yesterday.
I have never been so attentive to an end credits music. And of course the story with it.
I spent a lot of time in the game to make Orpheus song again, and after hearing him in good ridance, In the blood was perfection.
Hades, best game :D Thanks you for this masterpiece.
Remember when I cleared for the first time n this speaker knocker played while chillin w the homie Charon 🤌👌 hyped af for Hades 2
God, this game deserved GOTY so fucking bad.
God. I cleared the main story last night and I was so hyped to use my awesome combo on Hades. Then he just let me go. Then I got to hear this amazing song and it just... de-escalated me. This song is so beautiful.
I never thought I'd be headbanging to a rock harp song... yet, here I am.
