Streets of Rogue

I have a combined total of about one hundred and something-ish hours across all of the versions have played so i thought it was probably time to give it a review
I was in a pretty extreme depressive slump when i initially played streets of rogue, I picked it up when it was on game pass as i thought it looked pretty interesting, i played a couple of games and decided I didn't like it all that much.
Until one day i decided to give it a second go, it clicked.
and when it did i played it every single day, and i sucked at the game so hard but i (mostly) enjoyed every second of it.
This was the game that gave me a reason to get out of bed in the morning because i was so damn infatuated with it and i wanted nothing more than to complete a run (a little pathetic, im aware).
It took me about 2 months before i finally completed my first run (yes i sucked THAT bad) but that was it, all i wanted out of the game was to complete a single run. After that i completely lost all motivation to play the game but during that time i gained the motivation to get out of bed in the morning and actually go do things, that was about 4 years ago.
Recently it's clicked with me again and reignited my love for this game, i can confidently say that I've never played another game that has given me this amount of enjoyment.
I can confidently say that this is my favourite game of all time.
Thank you Matt Dabrowski for creating this silly little game that has helped my through my darkest moments, i'm very much looking forward to its sequel.
TL;DR - This game literally cured my depression.

I can't stop playing this game. It has too many possibilities.
I picked the Comedian and told a joke so offensive, the cops tried to do an extrajudicial execution on me. While running away, I knocked on a stranger's door and told them another joke, which they liked so much they decided to sacrifice their life to save me from police brutality.

I wanted to say thanks for this game. It's been amazing. I can't believe I've only played 53.8 hours. I've played a lot of offline time that might not have been recorded, as a dad with a steam deck. This game has it all. Hardcore cyberpunk action. Compelling stories. Violent action that won't traumatize a kid if they happen to look over my shoulder. I wish there was an LFG feature. Can't wait to support the dev and buy SOR 2. Probably going to gift it to my wife or a friend since its on sale.
10/10. This game is the cyberpunk roguelike I never knew I was missing. Truly an instant classic. If you're on my friend's list, message me for a free copy of this game. I'll buy it for you so you can enjoy it. It's that good.

Thank you Streets of Rogue for letting me play as a corrupt cop, a cyanide gassing scientist, a drugged up monkey, etc. One of the funniest games that I've ever played

became thief, pickpocketed over $1,000 from poor people and the corpses of my enemies, used $500 of it to bribe the mafia to rig the election, used the other $500 on weapons and drugs to use on the rich scum and police of Uptown, reached the Mayor's floor, realized the mafia did absolutely nothing with my $500, broke into the Mayor's home, pickpocketed his hat, and then became mayor with my intellectual speech about thievery.

A very highly replayable game! Each run is about 40 minutes to 1 hour long. But there are so many different ways to complete the run! You can go in gun blazing, use stealth or simply bribe the mobs, it's entirely up to you. And there are a huge selection of characters and tons of unlockable items to find! A fun game with a good humor.

A ton of fun - great on the Steam Deck, the only issue I noticed is that you need to use the mouse to start a game - but once in the base or ingame it plays flawlessly.
Waiting for the sequel!
