Roguelike Celebration 2021
I find the pleasure in mastering a roguelike to be quite similar to that found in the honeymoon phase of learning a new skill or exploring a new domain of knowledge. Addictive, fresh and empowering. Almost like experiencing the first peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect with each new game I find, until that curve drops and the game inevitably destroys me (damn you Caves of Qud).. Well, most of the time.<p>Anyway, if anyone is looking for any recommendations I really enjoyed Cataclysm-DDA (super cool) and Caves of Qud for the old school ASCII feel. Then there's Dead Cells, Noita and Hades for a more modern take.
