Mixed bag on this season. Some of the god mythics were pretty fun and loved playing with the air dashes in particular. The Avatar crossover event had some really unbalanced but fun items to use too. The Star Wars crossover was really mediocre though. The map barely changed and then didn't change at all again for the whole season which is pretty boring. XP rates were nerfed really bad and made me not bother actually even finishing the pass this time, and most of the BP skins honestly were bad. (Artemis looks cool though.)

If it weren't for how fun waterbending was during it's brief availability this would be a flat 2 1/2, but it gets the extra half star literally just for how fun bending was.

I loved this. A fantastic and unique spin on the Soulslike genre with so much personality, charm, and tight engaging combat and exploration. Outside of Fromsoft themselves, this is the best the genre has to offer imo.

My only real complaint is that the difficulty feels a little stacked towards the beginning and not the end. The first couple boss fights were intense challenges where I had to try them over and over until I had learned the bosses movements perfectly and then execute near perfectly in response to win. The final 3 fights of the game I literally spammed one move that had gotten really overpowered and mostly just tanked hits. It's a bit of a bummer it didn't stay consistent.

Very worth your time.

After a couple successful runs I think I can mark this as completed but I'm going to keep coming back to this.

Tiny Rouges is really great. It's a mix of elements taken from Binding of Issac, Hades, and Enter the Gungeon but with it's own spin mechanically on all of them. It's got really satisfying gameplay and a huge amount of variety in builds and characters and a great meta progression system, and this is all even more impressive considering it's still in early access. This game offers more than most similar rougelikes manage at a fraction of the price.

I will say that I don't think i'm insanely skilled at this kind of game, but I found myself clearing it really easily. The game uses some kind of 'smart loot' system to make sure items that drop are related to existing items you already have and that is cool because it means less garbage RNG determining if your run is a total waste, it also means you get god-tier runs really regularly, making them feel a lot less special.

It's weakest aspect might just be it's identity. It's just sort of a generic fantasy with some loose Dark Souls references. It doesn't really have an identity to call it's own and I feel like that's a large part of why it's slipped under the radar.
