Gaming

I'm actually not sure if this fully counts as a roguelike (because I'm not really super familiar with the genre), but I started Returnal on PC yesterday and it already seems to be a pretty darn good game only after 30 minutes of play time. I am looking forward to putting more time into it!

Here are some smaller ones that I like that haven't been mentioned yet.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a rythm based dungeon crawler in which you complete levels before the song runs out. Everything you do has to be on beat, like moving, attacking and using items. It's one of my favorite games and it even has working online multiplayer (altough that is only available through a DLC).

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is another rythm based dungeon crawler (can you tell that I love rythm games?) in form of a FPS. You explore rooms to kill enemies, get equipment and eventually kill that level's boss until you meet the final boss of the game. Similarly to Crypt, shooting, reloading and using abilities has to be done on beat (moving itself is not limited though).

Dead Estate is a pretty difficult isometric shooter (similar to Binding of Isaac). Being another dungeon crawler you work yourself through rooms, collecting items, upgrades and swapping weapons as you go, eventually defeating the floor's boss and moving up the floors until you reach the top. While there is no forced time limit, you do want to move fast, especially on higher difficulties.

Inscryption is pretty great. It's like a horror card game.

Voidigo just came out of early access on steam and I really like it! It's like a more forgiving Enter the Gungeon. Plus the pixel art is great and the boss designs are delightful.

If you're into Pokemon, the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are fantastic. They aren't the hardest roguelike in the world (still harder than a mainline Pokemon game though), but they're fun. The stories are also incredible (can only speak for Rescue Team and Explorers, haven't played the 3DS titles yet).

I like rogue-lites a bit more, so thethese games may or may not fit your interests.

• Permadeath mode in No Man's Sky
• Darkest Dungeon
• Everspace 1
• Ziggurat
• Eldritch
• Heavy Bullets
• Teleglitch
• Legend of Grimrock on Ultra Ironman difficulty
• Legend of Grimrock 2 with roguelike mod
• Dark Souls

Not sure if it count but Street of Rogue is kinda like a 2d GTA or Saints Row only without the cars and there's lots of characters with completely different playstyles like you can go guns blazing as a soldier or play as a pacifist doctor who can't really fight and has to use stealth or other means to do objectives or be a gorilla rescuing other gorillas who's very strong but cant talk to people or use guns or be a zombie who weak on its own but once it gets going you'll start the zombie apocalypse.

There're also these mutators which can be used as accessibility options cause I use it to slow the game down but it can be used to turn off some of the stuff that you don't like in the game.

This is a little bit of a deep cut, but the roguelike add-on to Remnant From the Ashes honestly slaps if you enjoy the core gameplay loop. (The pitch is "Dark Souls with guns," which is like 70% accurate.) High quality 3rd person gunplay, awesome abilities, fun enemies, wacky builds, beautiful maps.

Darkest Dungeon is also great if you like oppressive horror vibes.

Golden Light if you're into horror games.
