How she delivers "Oh, the cruel Fates! My son!" hits me in the heart. The VA knocks it out of the park with the delivery. It's incredible.

She's gonna be crying her heart out yet again when she meets her grown up daughter

this game is crazy good, feels so alive inside! i screamed when we're back to tartarus

First escape: mother please i love you (dies) Later: hey little snake wanna be friends (dies)

I love how Zagreus is sassy on reflex with the "No." immediately as Hades asks him if he knows what time it is. He has that attitude embedded at this point.

i did not cry here i did not cry here i did not cry here

it''s sad that he fought his way out of hell to be with his mum, only he's unable to stay on earth :(

Gotta love the "little helpers" it can spawn. :)

I wish in the sequel, they figure out a way for Zag to stay in the surface world without issue

Its funny to me...the fates deemed zagreus would die at birth...but as a son of the god of the underworld.... while his living thread was cut...his godly thread was spun

I really love how in Greek mythology, the afterlife and the mortal world aren't very different. In fact the mortal world just feels like the basement of the Earth and we just have house rules that if you die, you're not allowed to get out of the basement, though some have tried and succeeded.

You said with cutscene and skipped it…. Smooth 🫤

“However long it takes” 40 minutes later “Mother, I’m back”

Is this the only time Hades laughs?

"Thats the sun" he says as he stares at a glowing fish.

Not many games make me cry, but Zagreus dying again and again just to have more and more time with his mother always gets me. And that damn music

I love Zagreus's voice acting here and with that background music, I ended up crying during this scene. That kind of strained voice he had where he's confronted by a fate he can't escape but he's also being hopeful within the realm of actions he can still take.

Zagreus until this point is killed in so many painful, humiliating, and violent ways. This makes his death after meeting persephone so beautiful for the fact that for the first time (possibly in his whole life) he dies a peaceful death in loving company. It’s so touching. At first it was bittersweet. Looking back, it’s so touching even though he has to go

I got my first escape attempt today! It was so cool, and seeing both of them together just touches my heartstrings. 💜

I love that, unlike in most modern Greek myth stories, Persephone isn’t a naive young girl. She’s a wise, powerful, mature woman and it’s easy to see why she’s regarded so highly as a goddess.

The absolute feeling of triumph when I first reached this point, after two dozens failures I finally made it to the end and believe me: I SAVORED this moment.

I wonder if there's a different version of the dialogue if you clear the game on a fresh file.

I cried like a baby

I escaped for the first time today. Felt so rewarding finally beating Hades, exploring the surface and meeting Persephone. I said to myself " I'm gonna miss playing this " and then, plot twist, Zag can't stay on the surface for long, so that means, I can play more and more and still get more content out of the game. Absolutely genius by Supergiant. I love this game so much bro

This game is just another level❤❤

3:20 the shift of the song always makes me sad

I love how Hades just denies that the last run happened.

And it was this scene that made me realize this is one of the greatest games ever made

"You cannot stay here. You can't stay here." My heart SANK.

Her dress has POCKETS

Does anyone else want them to meet their Lore Olympus counter parts

Damn people in this comment section kinda suck at this game huh, it only took me 11 tries to beat him.

Damn… I remember, in my first play through of Hades, and learning the story as it goes on, that I was very determined to defeat Hades himself. And with that, this scene of Zagreus meeting his mother for the first time is genuinely heartwarming and made me cry. And the interactions between every character in this game is just beautiful and feels real despite taking place in Greek mythology. And now, knowing the second game will come out next year it’s gonna be amazing with the story they can tell and I will be there to see it same as everyone else who enjoys super giant! ^^

I just got up to the surface I was so overjoyed when I finally sent Hades back to his house. But the fact that Zagreus is bound to the Underworld is so upsetting 💔

3:20 You can HEAR the hug here

I don’t think any one moment has ever effected me in a game than this moment in hades ✨

The music still makes me cry a little but Hades' approach to the whole thing is very 'gaslight gatekeep girlboss' and that makes me laugh a little so it evens out

All good games have a fishing minigame

When I played this, I started crying when he said "That thing, that's the sun?" The voice acting was so good there. It hadn't occurred to me that our guy Zag had never seen the sun, that he'd be seeing it for the first time. All the dead have seen the sun, and most of the gods and incarnates. This is the moment where we really get to see what it actually means to be born and raised and trapped in the Underworld. The way the line is delivered conveys genuine wonder. You can hear it in the voice that he's trying to understand what he's seeing, only knowing it from being told about it. It's such a simple thing but for me it packed an emotional punch.

This game is so pretty man

Wished you had let shown the sun rise.

Zagreus immediately thinking his Mom kicked him out instead of knowing that she means well That boy fr had very little loving family members growing up and Nyx could only do so much.

1:02 so that’s how you’re supposed to dodge that attack

They need to sell seekers at sporting good stores I'd buy one

I swear this is probably one of the best videogaming story moments I had in a decade.

I remember finally defeating hades and getting here so hard at level one I recently completed heat 32 and I bet a new game without the mirror would be a cake walk

I never came acrass the portal torret, only the portal beam. I beat the game with the portal beam.

I wish they'd hired a good voice actor for Zagreus, rather than the hipster sound guy hiring himself. Actually had to stop playing it because I just wanted Zagreus to die in the fire and stop being so smug.

The song that plays here, "On the Coast," is a genuine masterpiece. It plays out your death, but not in the sudden and violent ways you have before. It plays out the desperate sadness of being instead gently whisked away by the Styx. And the way it blends so smoothly into Zagreus' pained last words to his mother is heart wrenching.

THIS SCENE MADE ME CRY PLS
