May 2025

I don't know. I just kept going, one run after another, I couldn't stop. A voice in my head just kept repeating, "one more run"

Jan. 2025

PEAK Controls are immensely fluid, combat is the most satisfying of any video game I've played, the roguelike elements are balanced very well. I love that it is not RNG what level you go to, you always choose that yourself. I am very happy with the VASTLY expansive assist mode options that allow those who struggle with certain aspects of the game to breeze through them while still gaining the full experience on other regards. I, for example, am very not fond of the spike traps and platforming bits, I feel the physics afforded to the main character do not at all suit precision platforming. So having the option to turn the damage those spike traps do down to 20% of what it once was makes an IMMEASURABLE improvement to my enjoyment of the game.

The game has more depth then it seems. The game play never gets redundant even though you are repeating run after run.
