an impeccably designed and incredibly well-crafted game with great combat and production values that's still just too much of a roguelike for my taste; I didn't even make it to the Temple of Styx, let alone complete a successful run, and the repetition was already getting to me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm clearly in the minority here and I absolutely get why this game has been so immensely popular and critically acclaimed, but honestly, I wish Supergiant had just made a non-roguelike ARPG with the same setting and combat mechanics.
