BACKER

i must preface my thoughts with the fact that i am not a rougelike enjoyer. however, when a friend of mine managed to get me to try this game, i was near instantly hooked. it is oozing with fun elements and creativity that you can see in the weapons, characters, and setting. it is still challenging but i believe this is a great rougelike for beginners to the genre, as there are many things in place to help you along the way. small bonus if you are a dungeons and dragons player, as there are several nods to tabletop gameplay present as well.

i do not play this as regularly as i did in my time growing up on the internet but it remains a cornerstone of my gaming library. most of the time i spent on Garry's Mod is in Trouble in Terrorist Town which has been my first and favorite hidden identity type game for the last decade, and also solidified my interest in this genre of game.

i usually enjoy this game more as a progression checklist + boss rush. with a more linear structure than minecraft im eager to return to terraria and play it a new way once every few years
