What are your favorite video game genres?

I think that all the derivatives of the roguelike genre are my favourite. My big personal reason is that I'm very inconsistent, so I really hate getting stuck on a die and retry loop because it's going to take twice the time as the average player to get unstuck. Roguelikes completely shatter the concept of attempting the same exact thing twice, you can only master the mechanics as a whole to succeed without knowing exactly what to do.

I'm really enjoying roboquest, slag the spire and Have a nice death atm

Oh wow I've never heard about Roboquest it looks kinda cool and people seem to like it, I'm gonna save this for later!

It's crazy how Slay the Spire created a craze that resulted in a thousand deck building solo games

Roboquest has shooting that feels like Doom, visuals that remind me of borderlands and absolute addicting roguelite/like mechanics. Absolute must play imo

Yeah I'm gonna have to get it
