God of War's Valhalla DLC does a lot of interesting things with the roguelike genre, and the upcoming Hades 2 should take some notes.

The Valhalla DLC in God of War Ragnarok is surprisingly robust, offering meaty gameplay and narrative moments that are rare in free, surprise DLCs.
Valhalla's roguelike design is creative and thoughtful, with features that its contemporaries should emulate, such as Supergiant's upcoming game Hades 2.
Hades 2 should borrow ideas from Valhalla, such as the addition of major, static upgrades, allowing players to use multiple weapons at the same time, and the inclusion of meaningful, temporary debuffs for greater rewards.
