I love Minecraft. I've been playing it since I was a kid, and it makes me feel fantastic.
Every few months I come back, I build on my world a little, I explore a little. I try something new. I feel content with this blocky game.

Dear God.
Everything I've ever enjoyed in Isaac is brought up to its highest quality in this game. I've logged hundreds of hours, and I will continue to log even more.
I cannot explain how much I adore this complete package.

The OG! I played this game a long time ago. I still adore it, and come back to it from time to time. The soundtrack is a personal favourite, in fact.

That being said, it has issues. Isaac feels slow until he feels much too fast. Unfair glitches and game design are constant. And yes, the frustration does supersede the enjoyment sometimes.

I began Returnal with the slightest of ideas of what kind of game I was getting myself into. From there, I learned that this game is unlike anything else I've ever tried.
Not only is this game one of the highest points of a roguelike I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, but every aspect of this game will twist into bringing you down into its world. Perfect sound design, perfect gameplay, perfect story, perfect visuals. My biggest gripe is that I want more.
