Dead Cells

Fun gameplay but too grindy.

Pretty great for a while, but the difficulty ramps up too much after several hours, leaving it unplayable.

Not for the feint of heart. It is a very difficult game on harder difficulties and can definitely become frustrating at times but I find it fast paced rewarding. Large variety of weapons, items and builds. I love the visual ascetics and art style.

solid roguelike

Pretty good, like the build varieties, combat is smooth. Great way to pass time every now and then.

Stopped playing. Feels like just enemy grind and just jumping around and spamming buttons. Less about exploring and more about mindless grinding.

I beat Dead Cells so many times and I'm playing since it was beta only. Yes, it brings new understanding to indie rogue-likes but damn it's too much overrated. The difficulty balance is just too bad. In Normal it's too easy in hard it's just too much hard. Boss Fights are lame and the game duration is very very short. Even with releasing all the weapons and secrets, it's short. It's a fun one but not a timeless masterpiece at all. Most of the weapons are garbage.

Tactician build forever, just like me hiding like a COWARD.
