We all know Terraria is the best roguelike

[hugw]

seeing 3 of my favorite roguelikes (risk of rain 2, nuclear throne, dead cells) out of the bracket so fast is a bit disheartening but at least i found some more roguelikes to sink 50+ hours into :)

The thing that keeps any deckbuilder from top 5 for me is that late ascension in them pretty much always kills build diversity. You end up looking to build roughly the same decks because it's the only thing that works well enough to be remotely consistent.

Hey, thanks for the love for Revita, made me buy it and it's been a ton of fun. Most 2D platformer roguelikes (besides Spelunky) just never hit for me, even Dead Cells, but Revita has me addicted to roguelikes all over again.

I agree with the Nuclear Throne vs. Circadian Dice choice. I have absolutely adored Circadian Dice, it not only is a really enjoyable roguelike that doesn't suck 2 hours of your day just to play 2 runs, but has high replayability, many characters, the relics are extremely fun to interchange AND it manages to feel unique. (Can't comment on it against Crypt of The Necrodancer, never played it and I stay blind to games.)

[Not-Gorilla]

I think we all know in our heart of hearts that Noita is the true winner
There's just something special about a game having overwhelmingly positive reviews with every last one of them saying they hate the game

I wish undermine got a bit more of a chance. I get that ftl is definitely a better game, but I’ve been playing undermine recently, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. It’s also unique in a lot of ways, so I really like the game.

[TheMcZioms]

I know there wasn't just space for some roguelikes/roguelites but i would love to see games like Rogue Legacy, Curse od the Dead Gods, ziggurat, Vagante, Going Under, BPM, Moonlighter, Cult of the Lamb, Streets of Rogue, there are sooo many game of this genre

[odex]

It's sad that Steredenn is completely forgotten in roguelike space.

[draconocor]

I think Gungeon could have been so much bigger than it is if it got the Isaac treatment. Better core gameplay, better lore, better music. Give it a few extra DLCs and it hits the moon.

[Yourhatedquestion]

I disagree with some picks, but I can respect them nevertheless

[kimmyp]

thanks for making the vid, would love an annual version of this

[PentaHybrid]

*slaps bracket* Yup. This is the winner. I'd have skipped all the hoopla and just said everything else is in second place.

For real though. Play more RoR2. It's probably still not YOUR type of game, but your experience will be wholly new and better.

[lavadirt]

Slay the Spire is so good though :((
I place StS above spelunky 2 for 1. You can pause midgame and 2. There're multiple ways to achieve victory

[draconocor]

My final results were Gungeon v. RoR2, with RoR2 winning. Funny how different it was.

[Veedotme]

Some of these games have SUPER unlucky matchups 😔

[ryanhoyle]

tier list did me DIRTY on nova drift wtf

[zlzyx]

Why is loop hero a disappointment? I'm not very far in the game or up to date on any news if there is any.

[josh]

We have a winner and second place, but who's making the 3rd place?

Isaac or Revita?

[Blazercraft]

Genuine question what about hades and neon abyss do you not like that much? I haven't played either but I only ever hear positive things about them
