I Can't Escape: Darkness

Really good. And this was me coming at it with a complete disregard for permadeath in dungeon crawlers. You can enable saves on start up and I can't see how this game can be played any other way. As to me it's too samey and without much variety to sustain long and repetitive plays as a roguelite. For example, as far as I can tell, there's only like 2 enemies that you can fight (one is a rat), and only about 3 weapons. There are some nice side stories and bits of lore you can pick up from discarded adventurer diary pages, and murals on walls. I had a solid 2 and a half hours of exciting dungeon delving and got the good escape ending (and the more secret traitor ending) without any fore-knowledge of the gameplay, and I thoroughly enjoyed it without getting bored. But I don't think I could have played it for another hour, as what I experienced felt self-contained and complete. And the game isn't as horror centred as you would expect. The game is quite vague as to what your goal is but you'll figure it out with enough exploration and fiddling with things. I died over 70 times in my playthrough (again, how is this doable as a roguelite?), and walked over 2k steps, but every death was only a small setback which kept me persevering. Don't think it's worth it full price but on a decent sale this is a worthwhile addition to any library for those who are fans of dungeon crawlers.
