A reasonably good entry in the roguelite genre. Or what I call, do randomized dungeons, then do something relaxing, then repeat, genre. Cult of the lamb has a great juxtaposition between the cute and creepy, leaning into a mix of cult and cosmic horror, with adorable characters.

Where it falls down, at least on the Switch version, is performance. Frame rate drops and hard crashes were numerous in my game. But worse was the repetitive boss design, cramped building space and catastrophically bad final boss, where the combat design really fell apart. I'm still shocked at the geometry traps, poor perspective and poor enemy design in finale.

Some fun humor in here and it plays decently, but there was a lot that just didn't click with me.
