I never thought I'd be interested in an auto-battler before Loop Hero came along.
This is such a clever game concept, with your hero reassembling the world as they go, creating both positive effects and more monster encounters of increasing difficulty as you go. This makes for a very interesting risk/reward system, especially when mixed with the meta progression system which depends on you bringing back loot you find as you travel the various tiles you place. You lose a large portion of your loot on death too, meaning sometimes it can be more interesting to stop a loop early to ensure you keep all of your loot rather than risk another potentially dangerous loop.

This system of constant risk/reward keeps you engaged throughout the game's story, making for a very unique and fun experience. I do admit that I didn't play it much more after completing the story, but that in and of itself was a complete experience that I strongly recommend.
