Dead Cells is an impressive title in many respects, definitely worth trying for its addictive gameplay loop. The blending of roguelike and metroidvania mechanics is incredibly unique, and well worth trying for the novelty alone.

That being said, I lost interest after completing the base game, as the difficulty scaling afterwards (the 'boss cells' that apply constraints on your character) just wasn't my cup of tea.

There's a lot to appreciate here, in any case, especially with the never-ending flow of DLC additions.
