Gotta say I am not very good at this game lol. The shooting just feels extremely off (also you can't counter-strafe to control bullet spray for some reason). It took me a while to actually get the first ending.
It has grown on me tho as I did find myself enjoy it a lot more. It is definitely a great game, I am just sad that I still suck so much at the game .
I have since beat the game a second time. As I have said before, I definitely saw the appeal yet just can't really appreciate it fully. I don't really like this roguelike experience where all the pickups are different for each playthroughs. Some weapons are just so overpowered it's impossible not to beat the game with it (that remote control tear for example) while I suspect some weapons are literally just trolling the players due to how bad they are.
I don't really see myself sinking more hours into this game.

As far as dungeon crawlers and roguelikes go, this is probably the most I've ever been invested. Especially with the DLC, the runs consistently deliver on variety and I guess the large item pool definitely contributes to that. The setting itself is also very unique which adds to the replayability. One thing you have to keep in mind is that the runs are very RNG reliant which might put some off however the more knowledge you pick up about this game, the more you're able to control the success of your attempts, creating a lengthy but rewarding learning curve.
She bible on my thump until I binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Greatest roguelike of all time. A pure act of love. Extremely interesting art design and content. Incredibly sophisticated gameplay. Lots to love. 657 hours to get 100% well spent!
i tend to oscillate between "this game is really well made" and "fuck you you stupid piece of shit you can't just decide to throw a bunch of undodgeable bullshit at me whenever you feel like it and also screw your stupid rng"
Pros:
+Addicting. No run ever feels the same thanks to the huge variety of items/upgrades and the synergies between them.
+The game is played like a basic top-down shooter and relies mostly on luck. However, it also offers a great deal of depth when it comes to optimizing your runs and putting luck on your side. In order to succeed, you'll need to know a lot about the game and be very good at decision-making.
Cons:
-The game expects you to learn by trial and error, which is honestly impossible due to how much there is to learn and how obscure everything is presented. Playing with an external guide is mandatory.
