Is Summum Aeterna connected with Aeterna Noctis?😮

I love the length of this game and the challenge it presents. This game is for people who truly love a good challenge mentally and physically

To me its a lazy genre. "I can't design levels for shit, so procedural generation it is!"

You missed one that I've recently discovered, "Roguebook". Its like Slay the Spire, but better in every way.

is there a steam group "16 pixel font detected" ?

lair of the hungry ghosts or layer of the hungry ghosts

I really appreciate such a detailed and extensive list. I got bit by the Roguelite bug about a year ago by Hades and Slay the Spire (late to the party, I know). It must have been quite a bit of work to make this video, so thanks!

Why rank if you dislike the genre? Its like ranking spiders for pets and you never had one

Deadcells is the goat

I'm surprised _Binding of Isaac_ isn't on this list

that's a lie, girls don't play videogames.

No S tier for BG1? Sacrilege. Good video though=)

First adventure game I ever saw was space quest 3 in the early 90s and it blew me away with the graphics, locations, and being able to tell the character what to do. Up to that point it had just been stuff like oregon trail on PC and nes/snes games. It's been a long time but I've played almost all sierra and lucasarts games, my favs would be Grim Fandango, SQ4, KQ6, PQ3, LSL7, GK, DotT, Full Throttle, and Indy Fate of Atlantis. So many other great ones like Sam & Max, Freddy Pharkas, Torins Passage, The Dig, Monkey island series, just weren't as memorable for me though. I finally got around to playing QFG series recently as as adult so it felt different, and sadly still haven't played LOOM, and some games I never could complete (WIlly Beamish)

I find really intesting that you talked about Kingdom New Lands but not Kingdom Two Crowns, which is actually more on the rogue lite side (upon loss of the crown and heir take charge on a previous island and greed wave strength is set back 100 days). This game is awesome you should play it, plus, it's also a coop

this was one of my fave games a a kid

6:31 DON'T BE COMING BACK NOW.

Well… I’ll at least give you props for hanging an unpopular opinion out there.

Gunfire Reborn is a good game. Don't think you found the beauty in it. Deserves at least a B. Kingdom is more like a B. All you do is run and drop coins, very similar to Loop Hero, so not sure why you rated the two so drastically different.

A little bummed that Ace attorney didnt make an appearance, other than that great ranking@

roboquest and darkest dungeon 2. DD2 is much more of a rogueLITE than the previous one

Omg you covered this no way

Enter the gungeon is my all-time favorite game. Thousands of hours pour into it because the gameplay is just so smooth. It’s hard but damn it felt amazing to beat that game.

It's her opinion, you don't have to agree with it, it's merely just one person's opinion, I played about 90% of it and I do think it's a much better game then the first game but imho it is very much overrated, same is true of the great "FF7".

I would recommend trying GRIME. A game that I am very impressed with.

Good job

I loved sewer shark👍 but I never got past the end level 😮i think they were called zercs but I might be wrong 🤔 the targeting control was too slow 😮it was very frustrating 🤪🤪🤯🤯💩💩☠️☠️ but the game was good 👍 you only got one chance with directions 😮if you went off course twice you were dead 💩💩☠️☠️

Roguelike has become my favorite genre, but I don't understand why people feel the need to argue "like" vs "lite". If it has run based gameplay and permadeath with random variance than it is like the game rogue. "Lite" just feels like an unnecessary and inconsistent distinction to me.

Brotato seems to often be referred to as a Survivors-like game, being one of the gazillion Vampire Survivors knockoff games. My personal favorite Survivors-like game, other than the namesake, is Boneraiser Minions. I wish they would port that one to consoles; it is incredibly fun and addicting, and adds quite a bit to the Survivors formula. 20 Minutes Till Dawn and Army of Ruin are also pretty good. There are so many Survivors-like games, many of them good. But unfortunately most of them are PC only and don't have a console release. Most are playable on the Steam Deck though. I've also heard these being referred to as "bullet heaven" or "reverse bullet hell" as opposed to bullet hell (the idea is that bullets are going all over the place, but they're coming from you instead of at you). I'm not a fan of either name really.

Darkside detective and The Last Door a C? You have no taste

Returnal did it great..the only one i commited and beat on ps5...tough as nails too. Took me 130 hours to beat

People saying you’ll regret selling it are usually too afraid of doing it themselves and projecting like crazy. Glad you didn’t listen! I lost tons of stuff in a flood once and only missed the sentimental things, not the “stuff.” It’s kind of liberating. Happy for you!

I would rank Children of Morta a notch or two lower because of some gripes, notably the 'unlocks' cutscenes not taking into account the 'story progression' cutscenes. (Slight spoiler but I'll remain vague) - some things unlock only when you die or end runs often enough, and having an important story NPC bed-ridden and near death in one scene, then meeting the requirements for recruiting a new character by finishing a run and seeing the bed-ridden, near death NPC up and about and doing the dishes when they're supposed to be corrupted and on the verge of dying just really dragged me out of the story. Granted, maybe the player is supposed to believe these unlock cutscenes happened in the past, but there's no indication of that. After seeing the craft and dedication put into Hades' narrative, Children of Morta just felt unsatisfying and shoddy craftsmanship.

In my opinion Slay the Spire is to be counted as a Roguelike. Yes, it technically has some meta progression, but..... you unlock it super fast. For the rest of the time, it is 100% pure roguelike.

that subgenre at 5:00 is survivor. its pretty new, from vampire survivors hype.

Excellent editing with the music!!

Good for you for taking on this task. I think most people want to "clean out" their collections but are too hesitant to take the plunge. Either they are too attached to the items or they are overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

I really like the original + the remake.

Pam, ever played Dungeon of the Endless?

38:31 Anytime Pam uploads a 50+ minute ranking video

I am really baffled that you put Loop Hero and Vampire Survivors on such a low teir, they are imo amazing games and Vampire Survivors actually has alot of story, tons of levels and tactics to it. Vampire Survivors is a Rogue Lite, but after it came out there was a surge in similar games due to it's popularity of Vampire Survivors and I think they call it "Garlic likes" now. My list of must play Rogue lites: Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, FTL, Balatro, Hades, Rogue Legacy, Darkest Dungeon, Loop Hero. I would also recommend "knock on the Coffin Lid". It is very similar to Slay the Spire (blatant rip off), but with a twist as it has story to it and the paths are not randomized from run to run in the normal mode, but you have to learn gradually how to defeat the last boss. So far I think it is great.

I think your rankings are pretty fair. But I'm kinda shocked that The Binding Of Isaac isn't on the list.

Your taste is pretty consistent. I feel like by the second half I could mostly predict if you'd like something or not. That's pretty cool strength of character.

I really love Streets of Rogue. If you haven't played it before, you should give it a try. It's available on Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Android.

For those who like the corridors the best there is a great second quest to the game you can choose to play right away that features only the corridors with automatic upgrades given to you as you progress. Just put in the code " TGL " into the password ( yes just 3 characters ) and now you can play a super solid shmup instead. This game is so awesome.

Is the new TMNT game classified this way? What do you think of it? IM digging it , but its def different

"The game doesn't really tell you how to play" very much summarizes my experience with Kingdom: New Lands. I tried it once, I think it was on one of the subscription services, because I see it get recommended often, but I just couldn't figure out what to do at all. Considering the praise you're giving it as well, maybe I'll just give it another chance sometime. It's usually pretty cheap when it's on sale anyway. Did you try World of Horror? I think that usually counts as a roguelite. If anything it's a very unique style of game. I haven't played enough of it myself to really recommend it in any way. But with many of these kinds of game kinda blurring together, it's nice to have something very different.

Thanks for sharing! Been doing StS runs again after many years. Just casually, on the tablet, while work meetings drag on. The perfect amount of distraction :)

Great list and good to hear opinions that mean that even if I don't agree with a particular rating, I can at least understand why you feel differently. For me the Roguelite genre is inferior to the Roguelike genre in instances where a run can't be beaten without the meta progression. I was rubbed the wrong way by Rogue Legacy because it's practically impossible to win that game on your first run. Even if you were an experienced player, you need meta progression stats to make the game playable, so you basically need to grind for a significant number of runs before you can expect to win your first time. Contrast that to something like Slay the Spire (happy to see the S rank!) where you'll likely lose your first run, but if an experienced player starts a fresh save file they will have absolutely no issue beating the final boss on their first run because the 'meta progression' is really just card unlocks to encourage you to keep playing. New players aren't using all of the cards/relics anyway, so gating some of them for your first handful of runs isn't meaningfully restrictive and gives you something shiny while you're likely repeatedly losing.

I see Tiny Rogues has not been included as it would be unfair to the competitors.
