IMO, the Vita is the best platform for playing Hotline Miami.
Try Soul Sacrifice Delta if you are into dark games.
If you are into action RPGs, check out Odin Sphere.
Also, a good chunk of the PS1 and PSP libraries are compatible with the Vita, so it’s worth trying out some classics. I still boot up my Vita once in a while just to play Symphony of the Night.
I’ve been eagerly watching the foldable space ever since the first Razr was announced, but never took the plunge because I felt the tech wasn’t there yet. You would pay flagship prices for a fragile phone with bad specs.
Now I think they are finally good enough. My next one will probably be a Razr, I don’t trust Samsung.
I had the same experience.
Up to room 46, it felt like every failed run built up to your eventual success, like any good roguelite. You failed, but at least gained a bit of knowledge, a permanent upgrade or improvement to the state.
Then you get to a point where each run is less and less rewarding and eventually give up. There’s nothing left to learn or upgrade, it’s now a fight with the RNG.
