Shared: roguelike, mythology

Proof that dying can be the best part of a story: Hades turns every failed escape attempt into a character beat, and the combat is sharp enough that you will want to fail a few more times just to try the shield next run.

Stress kills faster than swords here, and your Vestal will crack before your Leper lands a hit. Whether that loop hooks you or breaks you is the only question worth asking.

Hundreds of hours of morally complicated monster contracts, two expansion packs that rival full games, and a world that makes most open-world RPGs look like rough drafts. If you haven't played it yet, the question isn't whether to buy it, it's why you waited.

FTL is a tense, pausable spaceship roguelike where every jump could end your run. Small crew, brutal decisions, zero save-scumming mercy.

One pivotal choice mid-game locks you out of an entire second act's worth of content, which makes the first playthrough feel like a prologue to your real run.
