If you enjoy games like Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn, where you basically can only play it through once to figure out the secrets, it feels like this is going to be something you’d love. The downside is the roguelite element can be really punishing and make you feel like you’ve wasted a day, especially if you’ve found the secrets in those rooms. The good news is that there’s been at least a couple times where I found out items were puzzles days after I saw them, so it might not entirely be a waste.

• Slay the Spire
• Stardew Valley
• Sunless Skies
• Vampire Survivors
• Nine Sols
• Hollow Knight
• Balatro
• Monster Train
• Tactical Breach Wizards
• Slay the Princess

It’s kinda crazy just how much time got put in for StS and Stardew.
