All roguelites are essentially like trying to become a boxer from scratch by fighting prime Mike Tyson over and over again. At first, regardless of how naturally gifted you are, you will get battered over and over again. After a while... And some quantifiable amount of brain damage you will eventually develop your skills and become less easily bashed by Ol' Iron Mike. Keep pushing further (hopefully before you start slurring your words) and you will finally reach the pinnacle of boxing and best the champ. This formula understandably doesn't work for everyone and to be honest on paper it sounds horrible, but I seem to enjoy it.

Silly metaphor aside, I find Dead Cells to be one of the best roguelites out there. Really tight and responsive controls, plenty of build variety to keep each repetitive run somewhat fresh, and progression that you actually feel make this game stand out amongst the ever growing pool of roguelite games.
