The presentation is beautiful, and the puzzles are quite fun, but also pretty hard. I mainly just played solitaire, but I finished a couple of the puzzle packs.

I enjoyed my time with luck be a landlord, 20 hours of fun is nothing to sneeze at. As far as roguelites go, you could certainly do a lot worse.

50% of my steam playtime in 2023 was this game and that kind of speaks for itself. At this point, I have explored literally every nook and cranny, but discovering this game's secrets was an absolute treat.

I give this 5 stars not because I consider it to be some flawless "ideal game", but because it does something that I didn't consider possible: excellent procedural generation.

After all these years, Binding of Isaac is still the roguelite, which is really something special. That being said it does show its age a bit

This is one of my favorite roguelites ever, and it's funny because it barely has to do with the minesweeper aspect. It's all about the insane scope of the game. There are a bazillion mechanics, items, and classes to unlock and learn, and they all manage to feel relatively unique. This would genuinely be a 10/10 game if it wasn't held back by a few notable things.

1. You don't have to try very hard to get the game to crash and lose a ton of progress, which can often feel terrible
2. Many of the late-game unlocks feel as though you must break the game to acquire them, and I personally find breaking the game to be not nearly as fun as just playing it.

Fun gameplay, fast combat, but still a good amount of challenge. This is a fun one for people looking for something light. Graphics look great too, which never hurts. The controls are easy to pick up as well, although WASD movement doesn't seem to have support for diagonal movement which is a bit annoying.

In terms of roguelites it feels mostly pretty standard. It can be a little unfun how much the game can screw you over with bad draws.

That being said, this screwage can usually be avoided with certain strategies. And this game really shines in its ability to make certain builds pop off. I just wish endless's progression wasn't so steep so it could truly be endless.

I feel like 7/10 is fair because it definitely beats the average, but I don't think it has the timeless qualities of an 8+

It shows its age, much harder to get into in 2023. That being said, the story holds up excellently

What raises this to 4.5 for me is the fact that this game's DNA can be found in most every American RPG to come since
