Supergiant Games delivers again a fantastic game with the studio's signature qualities: unparalleled art style, incredible soundtrack, amazing and unforgettable characters, great storytelling, lore and voice acting, and all of that without forgetting that it is a video game for a second.
Though it is probably my least favorite story from the studio so far (but it still great), it kept me surprised throughout the whole game introducing new mechanics without being overwhelming. I could write pages about how entertaining is the gameplay and how much fun it is to get lost in all the mechanical details of this game, such as the build + weapon combos, but I think the best way to learn about these is just experiencing it.
I believe it takes an insane amount of knowledge about game-design to create a rogue-like that simply does not get frustrating, ever. That's what they've accomplished.
