Roguelikes just make me feel empty. I've felt exactly the same way after spending time with Monster Train, Hades, etc. It's fun for a little bit, then I die and am immediately overwhelmed with a sense of time wasted. I think my satisfaction relies on the novelty of seeing new environments and overcoming new obstacles. Replaying the same content over and over (even if it's randomized) quickly starts to feel like a grind.

UGGHHH YES

Nothing worse than starting a rad game and losing all your progress, suddenly realizing that it's a roguelike

@thealexmott hahaha at first I was like why is he talking about RAD on this Slay the Spire review... weirdly it works both ways. Thanks for the likestorm!
