Nothing beats Dead Cells for me

[The Icing on the Cake]

Dead cells combines Difficulty, Grind, Gameplay and content at an almost perfect level. It has a big lore, amazing DLC prices and features from a lot of different Roguelike games... We are all blessed in the Roguelike-community to have this game. I think Dead cells is such a high standard that will unlikely be beaten. The "Roguelike" Genre is so fleshed out from games that just put it in to get monetary value with 0 thought (example: AK Xolotl or We Happy Few). AK Axolotl has just 1 gameplay mechanic that is different, and the rest had no thought. The only selling point was the Axolotl that got (I would say) "Animal of the Year", because everyone was talking about it (Internet wise). And We Happy Few just randomly had that feature in which had 0 purpose.

It is 100% subjective and hard to say what is "objectively" the best (primary) Rogue-like game (explanation: Rogue-like game based on that genre).

The difficulty in Roguelike games is the consistency. Like in MMOs, the distance between Travelpoints is very Important (and other things ofc). Roguelikes need a lot of balancing and the flow between battles is REALLY important ("I look at you Risk of Rain 2").

Dead Cells looks and feels so polished, with perspective of the amount of content it has. That is why I think Dead Cells is the best Roguelike game!

If you Read this, pls tell me your Experience with the game or the one you think is "The best" or "Your favorite" Roguelike game and why, ofc.
