I found this video to be extremely helpful for early on trying to get the first clear.
My normal run is god trinkets in the first two floors and broken spear trinket from Elysium on.

You can turn on God Mode. It's not a real god mode, only offers you permanent damage reduction based on how often you died total. It's a good stress reliever without making it too easy.
Getting titan blood for my weapons, I'm starting to need stupid amounts of heat levels, it's getting a bit...cluttered on screen. I hate the timer so I avoid that one.

The heat score is by weapon, so if youve only cleared once, you only have to do 1 heat for that weapon
The game is starting to get a little stale for me. I still put it in my top 10 of the last decade, but I find myself playing it less and less. I've pretty much done everything in the game, except defeat Hades the final time (when you have to kill him 3 times). I've upgraded most of the trinkets, gotten all of the companions (except for Achilles, mother fuck that's annoying), and maxed out just about everything. I still haven't defeated Charon, though I'm not sure if beating him really does anything vital (has anyone actually defeated him? His hit points barely move). I'm really hopeful that a DLC will come out for this game, as I would love to have some new boards to play through. I will say this: for the price, it has to be one of the best games ever made, and is definitely my top game of 2020.

Charon was one of my last achievements because I hardly took the shop rooms and I skipped it a lot even when I saw it or was playing on time limit. Once I decided to go for the chievs and started trying him on some of the higher heats, he would wreck me. I eventually turned it down to heat 0 while doing some of the other stupid ones and he was really easy

I've only got a few hours into it but game is a blast. I think it's their best thus far.
I've seen people say to stick with just 1 or 2 gods for boons; is it just a matter of recognizing and not interacting with powerups you dont want or is there a way to back out of choosing a boon at the select screen?
Also can I de-activate one of these artifact things? Seems like it makes me always have one active.
I like spear and shield the best so far but havent unlocked the fists or gun yet.

No way to back out. Eventually you can either unlock the ability to reroll the chamber bonus you are going into or the boon options the god gives you.
The most important thing on boons is how a particular God’s boon fits with the weapon’s play style. On the shield I’m not hitting enemies that frequently so a debuff on attack or special like dyonisis isn’t that great, but ares doom on special is. Then since I’m relying on doom for my primary damage I want a debuff on attack for the privileged status mirror talent.

More powerful boons have pre-requisites. Visit the wiki page to see what each god's boons pre-requisites are.
By focusing on one or two god's boons you can unlock the higher tier/more rare boons that are also more powerful and usually have good synergies with previously picked boons.

I just had my best run yet with the bow's special + 6 arrows + doom on special + extra doom damage with delay + doom damage stacking on hit + 30% special speed + deflect on dash. Hades melted in like 20 seconds.

Seemed like all the trinkets had their benefits which made it not so bad getting them all to 3 stars. Towards the end I was always mainly using the gods own trinkets to get OP legendary/duo boons and would switch them out between floors depending on what the rng gives you. Like if you start using zeus trinket, but end up getting 2 athena boons on one floor, between floors you can switch to Athena trinket and if youre getting the right prereqs, very likey to start getting the OP boons.

I don't think Supergiant has ever done or is really known for ever releasing DLC. Seems they tend to just release very tight and well made games and then move on to their next project. A lot of potential here but I wouldn't, and am not, holding my breath.

Last I read, they all needed a break. Generally if you're planning DLC you are already working on it before the game launches.

Hades Likely Won't Get Major Post-Launch Updates
It doesn't look like there's any Hades DLC planned.
