Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?

Blue Prince is an awesome game, but it confirmed for me that I can’t stand roguelikes. Any game that’s based on repetitive loop where you do the same thing over and over for small progress is just not my jam. That includes multiplayer grindathons, MMOs and roguelikes/lites.
I guess as I got older, time became more and more of a previous commodity and feeling like I’m not moving forward in an experience kills it for me.
Nothing against the game. Just not for me.
I thought I was the same, but I quite enjoyed hades. Though it’s not a traditional roguelike.
It has a good mix of mindless fun that doesn’t punish you when you lose and don’t make progress. The story does heavy duty in making sure each run no matter how successful it is.
I guess I still don’t like rogue likes that much but I do like hades.
I keep wanting to love Hades but keep bouncing off it. It has all characteristics of what is want - great art, good story, solid voice acting… I think I am not into the combat mechanics though. Diablo, at least I would enjoy until I finished all the story and quests…
I can’t blame you. I was for forced to play it before I got into it. Forced by the fact that supergiant games can be er go wrong in my book 🙌. Haha

I love rougelites/likes, but for me the issue was the RNG. When you have the knowledge to solve a puzzle, but can’t get the resources or rooms to line up right it just feels stupid.
The game wouldnt be half the length if I could just define the layout myself each day.
