Dead Cells Review (real girl)

I know my playtime doesn't look like much, but I have played this game on Xbox and on Mobile for collectively over 700 hours and have now purchased it for PC as well. I can't say this game's praise loud enough. This game has everything I need in a roguelike. Very challenging, incredibly satisfying and fast-paced combat that goes hand-in-hand with the game's solid platformer elements, gorgeous backdrops, a great soundtrack with some real bangers, crisp sound design (that dinging crit noise is a massive dopamine injection), as well as tons of secrets, easter eggs and references to other classic franchises that can easily take you over 200 hours of gameplay just to see them all. In addition to all that, there is a huge amount of unlocks in the game that require you play on higher and higher difficulties just to get them all, in which case I am referring to over 150 weapons and items with their unique playstyle, an equal amount of genuinely great outfits and last but not least the mutations, which give you permanent upgrades or abilities for the rest of your run. The game has a simple yet very rewarding affix system which allows you to create new synergies every run, is run by passionate developers that keep on making better and better content, has an intriguing world and story, a very high skill ceiling, a custom mode if you just want to play with your favourite weapons or tweak your run in some creative ways, accessibility mode for players who want a casual experience without much stress and DLCs that are genuinely worth your money. Even after unlocking every weapon, item and outfit in the base game, there's fun daily runs (which also grant you weapon unlocks), boss rush (with even more unlocks, arguably the most challenging to get in the game), and so-called "aspects" that alter the game significantly by giving you some really overpowered and fun abilites to play around with. Easiest 10/10 of my life.
I forgot to add: This game runs smoothly on pretty much everything, so yeah, go get it
