Hades is the perfect roguelike for lots of reasons, but one of the biggest IMO: unlike pretty much every other game in the genre, luck never singlehandedly ends a run.
You'll have good and bad luck, but you'll never lose immediately because of a bad spawn, or die over a bad draw, or meet a boss that's literally impossible to beat.
Hades perfectly gives luck sway without ever giving it control, and the more I die instantly/hopelessly in other roguelikes, the more I appreciate that balance.
