Finished my first run this morning! I knew that 10 complete runs have to be done to get everything out of story, but to be completely honest, I want to move to other things. I watched the rest on YouTube and it's really satisfying overall. I think I'd like to achieve it over time, but I'm definitely going to god mode my way through it.
The gameplay loop is incredible. There is so much depth in the variety that can be done with each run based on the weapons and keepsakes you use, the boons you receive, and the well of dialogue which has been fresh nearly ever single run. Having played most of Supergiant's games, this is without a doubt my favorite. I've only ever played one other roguelike, but I think it will be hard to try any other one (With the exception of Hades 2 of course).
This game totally lived up to the hype back in 2020 and I wish I had tried this a long time ago.
EDIT: I completed the main story. My review still stands. This game is incredible. I'm definitely going to try and get the epilogue at some point, but I have a backlog to get to. I'm so excited for the sequel!
