Crypt of the NecroDancer

Great game so far. The soundtrack and gameplay are great. Recommending if you like rouge-like or rouge-lite dungeon crawlers (you can play both ways). Its challenging but very satisfying. Also, I recommend playing with a controller. (you can switch to using a controller in settings, you can also rebind controller and keyboard inputs, though most controllers should be good by default).

This is a game you just have to like wire your brain for cause initially you just arent in the right mindset but eventually you play enough that you start to understand exactly how the game works and why the little things matter and what items you like and you learn exactly how every enemy moves. Then it all clicks into place and you enter an insane flow state, and then you make one mistake and it throws you off and you lose flow state and instantly die from full health, so then you have to learn to control your emotions, to make a mistake and instantly course correct without panicking. All of this just to still die repeatedly on the zone four boss, then jump into all zone once you have finally beaten zone four only to realize how much you relied on that extra health and repeatedly get your ass kicked in zone 1 because you aren't used to only having three hearts. 12/10, insanely peak experience, still haven't beaten all zones but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i've gotten so close and I know when I do it it'll be the best feeling in the world.

Turns out, a roguelite dungeon crawler that's also a rhythm game is really fun.
