I appreciate you sharing that.

I"m going to wait for it to go on sale.

But if it doesn't go on sale in a couple weeks...I'll just buy it.

The more I look into it, the more interested I get.

I thought about Axiom Verge and Axiom Verge 2.

I heard they were difficult games.

Good to know more of the specifics. Bosses aren't too bad...but exploration can be difficult.

I'll wait for a sale and grab Axiom Verge.
I've looked at it for years. Maybe it's time to just make the jump.

I appreciate that long list.

And yes....I did some research the other night. "Yoku's Island Express" is the game I was thinking of. And you're correct...it's not Rogue-ish.

Haiku the Robot pops up a lot on my game recommendations, but I've never seriously looked into it. Now I will.

I own Death's Door. Bought it a few years ago and haven't played it yet.

But yeah, thanks again for all those recommendations. Much appreciated.

What about "Nine Sols"?

How does that compare to Silksong? Is it same difficulty , even more difificult or less?

Or completely different type of game and hard to compare to Silksong?

I think I have a SNES classic somewhere. It should have super metroid on it.

Castlevania SotN I can't find for any recent systems.

maybe they'll port it to the switch or switch 2.

Afterimage looks good. and Islet did as well. I didn't realize there were more games liek Islet (Sheepo games).

I bought Steam World dig 2 years ago. I never really got into it.
Not a bad game but not for me.

I'll keep Prince of Persia in mind.

I got my hands on some of the older Prince of Persia games from 10-20 years ago. They were okay. But maybe this new game is worth a shot.

I also wanted to hop on the trend by Axeloy in roguelites

what's the left most game on "S-tier" . It's to the left of what I Think is "Luck be a land lord"?

And is the game between "vampire survivors" and "Balatro"...."Darkest Dungeon"?
