I should have been clearer about what I think should be spoiler-tagged. I do agree that knowing to keep going after reaching the end for the first time is important, but regarding your comment specifically, I think it’s also fun to discover the twists that come (the perspective change / the third playthrough) by yourself, even if they’re small.

I’m on the fence about buying it, but I’ve read that the game has mostly tedious fetch side-quests. Is that something you felt too?

IMO, you should spoiler tag that.

Sonic Mania. For a game where you’re supposed to go fast, it’s terribly frustrating when you slug through each level because you don’t know them well enough to fly through them. I feel like this game is more about memorizing maps and less about having quick reactions.

Dead Cells is a roguelite, due to the permanent upgrades that persist accross runs. A roguelike doesn’t have this type of progress. If you like Dead Cells, check out their new game, Windblown!

You should spoiler-tag that last bit for those who haven’t played it yet.
