Recommended Oct 2, 2026
It's a classic for a reason, it's difficult, but whenever I die I feel inclined to fall victim to the "just one more run" disease. Easily one of the rogue-likes greats even over ten years later, heavily recommend to those who haven't died to a teleporting yellow crystal.

This game is probably the best an arcadey game such as this can be like this is the peak of arcade type games we can just stop now. Nuclear Throne is so tightly designed and fun most deaths feel deserved and the ones that dont are hard to stay on because getting to any point in the game only takes like 25~ minutes max. All the characters are super fun and every single one is viable in some way shape or form even if they need a level ultra to become viable. Learning all the ins and outs and progressing farther every run is also super fun and satisfying i have not felt so satisfied after losing in a long time. Finally the game has many a secret youll undoubtedly find some on your own if you play long enough but if you know someone whos played this game before ask them for some hints. So overall if your a fan of roguelikes or bullet hells this is a classic that you need to try highly recommend.

this game is a rouge-like and its very fun. i think that most gamers will enjoy this game, it has a ton of charaters, fun enimes, bosses, and skins so if you're looking for a fun and enjoyable rouge-like then you should play nuclear throne

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
