Hrm, I generally prefer Rogue-likes but for specifically lites...

1. Hades
2. Enter The Gungeon
3. Slay the Spire (I like Card games a lot)
4. One Step From Eden
5. Dead Cells
6. Into the Breach
7. Dungeonmans (Meta progressive elements make it a lite, IMO)
8. Cryptark
9. FTL
10. Binding of Isaac

Isaac is at the bottom since I kinda hate BoI as I feel it gets stale extremely quickly, especially the imagery. I do like the themes though. IMO, Into the Breach is a fantastic game since it's like a streamlined FTL but feels like playing chess. Hades is #1 because I like the hack n slash gameplay but I really enjoy the themes, characters and attempt at "innovation" by blending a Story like experience with a Rogue-lite one.

Hades is my clear favorite. I'd put Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, and Enter the Gungeon afterwards. Most rogue likes are really bad.

Great games already listed. I want to toss in Everspace. Best arcade-style spaceship dogfighting combat I've ever played, and extremely beautiful, too. Dodging shots coming in from a dozen directions while wearing down a frigate so its heavy lasers don't pound me to space dust is great fun.

Ones I've played that haven't been listed:

- Spelunky: Helped make the genre popular with 360 version, 2 just released
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon: Older phone roguelike
- Crypt of the NecroDancer
- Dicey Dungeons: Lots of really interesting mechanics, reccomended
- Darkest Dungeon

Honorable mention to Caveblazers me and my friend love play couch coop

Game far from perfect but when you got a good run going is very fun

A lot of good ones already listed here. I'd just add in:

-Risk of Rain 1 and 2
-Dungeon of the Endless
-20XX

I'm sure there are plenty of others I've sunk hours into, but it's hard to remember them all off the top of my head.

1. delver
2. darkest dungeon
3. dead cells
4. wizard of legend
5. word of horror

Some could be considered not rougelike but i think they fall under the genre for the most part.

1- Hades
2- Wizard of legend
3- Rogue legacy (excited to see how the 2 will turn out)
4- Darkest dungeon
5- Void bastards
6- Moonlighter

Roguelite/like is clearly one of my favorite genre, always exciting when a new good one is coming out.

Gunfire Reborn
Immortal Redneck

Both are great FPS roguelites.

If there are any collectors here, WARLANDER is getting taken off steam soon
It's a mix of slay the spire and hand of fate roguelite gameplay

Ziggurat is my favorite. I liked it even more than Hades back in a day.
Apart from the ones already mentioned, I really enjoy

Trials of Fire
Gordian Quest
Griftlands
Star Renegades
