Arguably the best part of roguelikes is when you’ve finally collected enough loot to achieve god-like status, obliterating everything in your path like a hurricane without even trying. The first Risk of Rain, a sci-fi roguelike defined by potent power-ups and an ever-escalating difficulty, was particularly great at evoking that…
The Nintendo Switch remake of the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is finally here!
