I don’t think Hades came as a surprise to anyone who was already a fan of the devs from Bastion and Transistor.

As for transistor, the story is basically "futuristic world is being destroyed by virus-type-invaders and your sword/companion is the key to beating it", with a predictable end and almost zero character dev.
Being able to make ok games doesn't translate to the skill to make a masterpiece.
It was a quantum leap.
It would be like saying you can deduce Divinity Original sin 2 would be amazing because you played the first one.
