So this is an incredible game. Easily a must play and certainly has to be played by anyone who enjoys Rogue-likes/lites.
The amount of content here (and even more so after all the DLCS taken into account) is staggering. The game is infinitely replayable, has a twisted story to boot and will have you sweating on some of it's harder challenges.
It's just not 5 star for me, 4.75 would be a sweet spot for this, but on balance it's getting rounded down really for no reason other than game balance is just sometimes a joke.
Some runs you know that you are just going to obliterate everything, the game loses it's challenge and everything just feels trivial.
In others you just have no chance based on the items you have been given. Yes you can call skill issue, but it just isn't fun to fight a late game boss with poor damage, the game becomes exponentially harder when you don't have substantial damage.
You can survive literally one hit away from death for a whole run but you can't do well with poor damage.
To be fair, that is the nature of Rogue like/lite games, but the difference between an obliterate everything run and you should just hard reset is very stark.
