  • Have a Nice Death reviewed on PC by Leana Hafer. Also available on Nintendo Switch.
    Have A Nice Death is a punishing but satisfying roguelike with some diabolically tough boss fights. The darkly dorky setting and office humor lend it more than enough charm to make me want to discover more of its world. But it's made significantly more frustrating than it probably needs to be by very stingy long-term progression and limited defensive abilities in comparison to its huge array of fun-to-use offensive weapons. When I wasn't feeling the discouraging void inside dragging me down, I was reveling in the hundreds of ways I could make these visually and mechanically memorable undead wish they never lived at all.

      @samdelonggames This, and hopefully the bosses won't go from "That was Easy" to "Welcome to Dark Souls Git Rekd & Git Gud in 3 Seconds"... just watched the full review, and that might be a thing with the bosses, maybe not as bad. One of the few things that made me rage quit Hollow Knight was the difficulty curve just goes from 0 to 100 super quick and one boss just kept kicking my butt to the point it wasn't even fun anymore.
