[Retromation]

A lot of things changed in a year. This list looks so much better! I basically agree with everything but Wildfrost, which is surprising because I have some strong roguelike opinions lol.

[thewhitemage]

As an Isaac fan. I prob would have said the same thing 6 years ago. But man, I kept returning to it ever year or so and now I play it daily. You learn new things about it every time you play. There’s 34 characters with 12 completion marks per character. A lot of content and unlocks. With a casual 637 achievements. If you ever go back to it (like I kept doing) you’ll fall in love too.

[Dick_Mabutt]

Dead Cells is one of my all time favorite games, the difficulty aspect is one of my favorite things about it, the accessibility options that are there to help out means literally anybody of any skill level can play and enjoy the game to its full extent, you can tell that is something really important to the devs. It absolutely belongs in S tier

[DavidWigglesworth]

No Isaac and Risk of Rain 2 in S tier is a criminal offence

[momodeath]

GREAT short, in depth review (as you could) for every game you put on this list. Great tier list, needs Slay the Spire. Thinking about grabbing a few of these i havent played myself and maybe go back to some i left behind. Keep it up!!!

[carlosmspk]

Hades and Returnal do a great job of having a roguelite that you play to "arrive somewhere" (the former more than the latter) as opposed to most roguelites where you just play for the sake of each individual run being fun (which is totally fine). I wish there were more Roguelites like that, where there's an actual story

[lukejohnson]

This video was informative and well paced. I also really appreciate all of the annotations. Thanks man!

[inegodofredo]

"C is pretty good....that was me in highschool!!!!" XD
great video man keep it up!!!

[bippinbits]

Heyo, thank you so much for including us and for the lovely rating! Enjoyed the list a lot!
I'm glad to hear you keep your eyes out for updates too, as we are currently working on many cool things (just had a steam news post about it) :D

[Dvilxlgacy]

The sequel we've been waiting for. Great work 🙂

[CompleteReview]

I'd say the main charm of Isaac is the cosmetics, it adds so much to the random feeling of each run because it's not only the effects or projectiles, but you also got the combinated cosmetics of the characters. I have 470+ hours on Isaac, and I believe I will never be bored playing it.

Nuclear throne is the grandfather of twin-stick shooter roguelikes it is one of my favorite games ever made the characters are amazing with their unique differences and the gun and enemy variety just makes the game more chaotic and fun alongside the fact it has my favorite roguelike mechanic of all time looping.

Brotato description: You survive 20 waves...
Me: When? I don't remember that part 😅

[joelmoyer]

Amazing video, crazy how in depth this is. You're gonna need another tier list in a year because many roguelikes are coming out now

[WPharolin]

Highly recommend Children of Morta. It has a great art style & a solid campaign with a good story. Plus, after you defeat the campaign, you unlock another mode that changes a lot about the game and adds a ton of replayability. It also has 2 player coop.

[Joseph_Biten]

How did this guy make it to the last boss in Curse of the Dead Gods while thinking that there's no iframes

[travisgaye]

One thing I’ve always found a bit annoying about these collect ‘em all videos is the pacing, but you found the sweet spot! Good stuff dude, thanks ✌️

[GoodnightwithGlomstad]

I agree with this list for the most part. RoR2 is S tier. It is from recent memory the greatest early access game. It got continuous free updates. It is the standard now for 3rd person. Hades gets top down. Dead Cells gets 2D. I'd also say that Ship of Fools is way too low. Especially since with multiplayer, its such a fun chaotic time.

[Niffie]

Well done review man! Very fair assessment on each of these roguelites! I'll definitely have a rewatch of this video whenever I feel confused as to which roguelite to play! Keep rockin it man! :)

[cheesecakenl]

Great list! Gives a good overview of what is available when people are looking for another rogue-lite fix. Besides Slay the Spire I would also suggest looking at Monster Train and Astrea.
