There’s been a lot of discussion over what makes something a roguelike. Here’s what you need to know and why it matters.

My takeaway is that it’s only original Rogue fans that care about the delineation of the terms. Is there a modern (i.e. post 2000s game) that matches the definition of a roguelike as given in the article?

I have so many hours into enter the gungeon, it’s so addictive. I don’t know what it exactly is but i just know that i love it to bits.

Also trying my hand in dead cells but the game is kicking my butt hard. I only have the first orb that makes the runs harder. Still great fun!
