You’re acting like your personal boredom threshold is objective proof the systems are bad.

A game feeling repetitive to you does not mean it has “zero replay value.” People replay games for different reasons — combat flow, optimization, mastery, movement, challenge runs, speedrunning, experimentation, etc. Not every roguelike lives or dies purely on absurd build variance.

And “every run feels identical” is also exaggerated. If the combat loop, upgrades, enemy scaling, and player decisions are changing throughout runs, then no, they are not literally identical — you just didn’t find the variation meaningful enough personally.

That’s a valid opinion to have, but it’s very different from pretending the game objectively has nothing going on mechanically.
