I love Dead Cells, but this is even better.

My friends have it on pc gamepass and I can't play with them from steam. Seems like it might be fun otherwise.

- Responsive devs
- high skill cap combination of shooter and moba/strategy skills
- looks great

Enjoyed this more than I expected to. Fast and forgiving enough to not quite feel like a puzzle game, but tricky enough to feel smart when you accomplish a goal. Lots of different ways to complete a mission, and room for varying levels of success (e.g. "bloodless" and "ghost" completions). Very good balance of character permadeath with locked in progress as well. If it looks even remotely interesting to you, I highly recommend it.

Scratches the itch left by Rogue Legacy. Good fun, though I wish it had more of a progression arc than simple unlocks.

I'm surprised and encouraged but what I've seen in the first few hours. There's a lot more going on here than I expected. The crafting/farming/homesteading stuff is well integrated with the more typical RPG survival/combat/progression stuff.
The only thing I'm not super pleased with so far is the blurring between turn based and realtime mechanics. I'm happy with either, but it's unclear to me in many cases how to manage the passing of turns/time, especially in combat. I imagine I'll figure it out as I get further.

The most satisfying ARPG I've played in a long time. I can't quite put my finger on why. Very well executed, in any case.

A very silly roguelike. Under the cute graphics and absurd humor is a legitimately deep and fun game.

It took them 3 iterations to get there, but this finally feels like a true spiritual successor to Master of Magic.

One of the best Strategy games I've ever played. Complete turns the whole empire builder concept on its head. A very different experience from anything else you've played, in a good way.
