I had to google what the difference between a rogue-lite and a rogue-like was. They probably teach this in elementary school now and it's not new information for most but the key difference I see is that rogue-lites have "out of run progression". Which Vampire Survivors definitely does have and I do appreciate. The lack of permanent progression is why I normally avoid the genre. They are always fun but I can never imagine myself giving one of these games more than 4 stars and I have sickness in me that needs every game I play to be my potentially new favorite game ever. And looky there, 4 stars. I liked seeing all the madness and flashing colors, I liked having a game I could play with one hand while listening to an audiobook. I logged a quick and casual 30 hours in like a week and I think that's kinda fucked up.
