Spelunky 2

Spelunky 2 will make you loathe existence and question why play videogames in the first place. The level of suffering you will be inviting into your life when purchasing this game cannot be overstated. Agony has a name and it is Derek Yu.
10/10 an absolutely excellent platforming roguelite, beat Cosmic Ocean or no balls.

This game is like an abusive relationship: You either have the common sense to walk away or you let the constant suffering become your new normal.
Please help me.

This game is BS. You'll take 1 damage from a spider, get knocked into a trap for 2 more damage, and fall onto instant death spikes.

I love it. Highly recommended.

This game is good, until you get wombo combo-ed by 3 different enemies and a dart trap. Then it becomes great.

I recommend this game because, even after countless hours of playing, you can still discover new things. I love that it features a vast number of bosses, yet only a small fraction of them are mandatory to defeat. At first glance, it may seem like a fairly simple game, but as you become more familiar with it, you’ll realize that it’s actually a very challenging rogue-like.
In my opinion, the multiplayer mode is much better when played online (since in local co-op, you can’t always see yourself if the host moves away from you). However, the downside is that you can't unlock new characters this way. The graphics perfectly suit this style of game, and even a low-end PC can run it smoothly.
It is absolutely worth its price. Enjoy playing Spelunky 2!

I gave this game a fair shot because "why not", and ended up getting the full spelunky achievement, let me tell you why.
Looks simple at first but there is a lot of depth and tiny little details to make your run thru the caves as treacherous as possible: every enemy behaves differently, and a lot of them do different things depending on the circumstances, arrows bounce, there are traps hidden near similar looking tiles making them hard to notice, and there is a ton of niche interactions between items, enemies, or landmarks that might be marginally useful, or maybe explode.
But the reason I stuck with this game is simply because no other game has made me feel this angrier, or this personally accomplished. There is no other game I have felt such a high as the moment I got that final achievement because it just feels earned; You have to master the controls almost to the minute detail, learn how to deal with every trap and enemy, memorize what to look for in every stage, and improvise your way through the randomized caves to find everything the game has to offer.
And in spite of how incredibly difficult this game can be, however, my feelings of anger waned down after every run. Frustrating stuff eventually just became really funny, you know? Like a completely bullshit death that was triggered by a seemingly insignificant action you did like a minute earlier and there'd be no way you could've ever expect has made me scream like a banshee, and also had me laugh as if I was in the funniest stand-up comedy show of all time, and I was the punchline.
I have never experienced such a delicious, perfectly-balanced concoction of uncontrollable wrath, proud accomplishment, and euphoric laughter. Nowadays I cannot help but laugh like the joker at the dumbest, most ridiculous deaths of all time in my hard-earned runs, and if you really know anything about this game, then you know that every run you do will be hard-earned.
I hope this rant gives you the insight on what to expect, and help you determine whether or not you actually are like the kind of sick bastard who might enjoy this game.

This game stimulates my overthinking mind by coming up with increasingly creative ways of sneaking up behind me to thwack me over the head with the lead pipe of consequence
