Dead Cells is a 2018 roguelike-Metroidvania game developed by French independent developer Motion Twin. The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island's King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Completely coke-infused, meth-injected turbo adrenaline inoculation of a game. 10/10, I died to Edward's Scissorhands rejected half-brother enough times to earn me an anoscopy.
Literally my favorite game , i played it a wayy more then 23 hours in my life in different platforms (xbox , phone , epic games). most fun combination of metroidvania and rogue-like that i ever seen , if you're tired of most survivor like rogue likes it's best option , fast and dynamic and at same point hard, but when you play long enough you just idk how to say , you feel character , you need to play this much to understand , has such a fun lore that is not very obvious when you play fast but if you give it attention it will surprise you. funny bosses and most of dlc-s (that i don't have but family member has so i played them) are worth of buying , especially castelvania , dracula is such a fun boss to fight against. only bad part that i can mention is just difficulty that is great for me but sometimes just makes you rage quit, also a huuge plus for me is controller play , only cause i can play it so easy and comfortable with controller i launch it 80% of times when i watch some video with it (people with solo monitor will understand me pain of playing with mouse)
fun game. gives you that itch to keep goin and the frustration "BECAUSE I KNOW I HITTHE MF BUTTON FIRST" energy.....
