I feel a lot of people's hate for roguelikes come from only playing modern interpretations that have little to offer besides victory / defeat.
Even Hades relies on narrative & meta progression to make "bad RNG" tolerable. Meanwhile, it's legit fun to die in weird ways in Caves of Cud, ToME4 or DCSS

Tormented Souls 2 looks amazing. Looking forward to another junk-pipe shotgun.

I spent like 3 hours on The Old Town boss level in #Cultic ep. 2 on Extreme. I think it came down to RNG and not my skill.
But the train ride was worth it.

Anvil of Dawn (1995) is one of those games that make me mourn all the talent & know-how we lost in the shift from pixel art to 3D.
Dreamforge Intertainment was a powerhouse. We have so many retro-inspired games now, I really hope someday we get a dungeon-crawler in this style again.

After 21 hours, I've beaten Fire in the Beastlands!
It's the #1 most underappreciated gem I've played. I won't shut up about it - it's absurd a 2021 metroidvânia almost as good as Salt and Sanctury (a game with 19,000 reviews) is a flop with only 16 reviews: store.steampowered.com/app/1814870/...

Last year I made this 100 PC RPG iceberg, still think it's a good resource if you're want recomendations.
The tiers are not popularity or quality, it's about how accessible each game is. For example, Kenshi is relatively famous but I would only recommend it to true sickos.

I just rediscovered StackOBot. It's really great project to learn from. Very easy to get into with very good learning material. Highly recommend checking it out. It has a lot of hidden gems like reactive foliage or generic interaction system and dynamic room generator.
