Decicied to play this on PC at a friend's house, and its remarkable just how good the game is, even after playing it for so long. This was probably one of my first roguelikes I can remember playing, and back in the day I never gave it much of a thought as I didn't really understand what the game was, but when I got the game for myself I truly understood what it's like to engage and keep improving upon what you already built in.
As the fundamentals of all rogue-likes work, your death isn't the end, its just another beginning. With a lot, and I truly mean A LOT, of items that are present in the game (that I'd have to search on google because the sheer amount of items that exist is just insane, the gungeon wiki is a blessed place) every time I played the game it felt like a new experience. Theres a good amount of bosses to learn, lots of different enemy types, and the amount of items just adds to the chaos. The different playable characters are also a nice touch, as each of them have their own advantages and starting weapons to help with. The final floor is truly the most challenging, as if you are not prepared with your ammo and guns, it would be the worst ending to a run, but finishing the floor is probably one of the most insane experiences I've ever had with a game like this.
There's also coop in this game, as I mentioned playing this at a friends place, the coop is local only as far as I can tell, but you can probably set up remote play and make it work, and the coop is a really fun experience too, the enemies do get buffed to match up with the 2 players, and there's a unique ending if you DO manage to beat the game with 2 players (assuming you know how to get the true ending) which makes it a worthwhile experience if you enjoy the game. I personally did and I still play this from time to time, just to get that rush again, and rainbow chest mode cause lol.
