I went into Cult of the Lamb knowing nothing about it besides you are an “evil” lamb creating your own cult. To which, as someone who loves the kinda “town builder” type games I was all in.

Then I played it and realised “oh, it’s part town builder part rogue-like” and that’s when I got worried, because I’m absolutely awful at Rogue-likes…

However, Cult of the Lamb with its charming art style managed to win me back in with just how in depth the cult-managing part is (for an indie game that is split into two in terms of gameplay)

You have to make food for your cult, build farms, make them beds, upgrade said beds, make sure they dont get sick, preach to them daily to gain yourself devotion to unlock new buildings and weapon drops on your dungeon runs.

Speaking of the dungeon runs… I started out on “Medium” difficulty, until I hit the third main boss. In which the difficulty felt more like hard mode even with me having unlocked most of the upgrades etc. so I switched to easy and suddenly it was … boring how easy it was? There was no perfect middle ground and that really kinda ruined the experience for me.

Cult of the Lamb is definitely one I’ll be carrying on with until I have unlocked absolutely everything.
