    Those old NES games broke my fear of failure, so roguelikes, soulslikes, and similar games where you have a real chance of losing are my jam.

    This also applies to games with permanent roster losses like XCOM or Darkest Dungeon. I can’t get enough.

      Funnily enough, I couldn’t get into the souls likes until now. The need to memorize boss patterns doesn’t appeal to me me

      Xcom Ironman is the true achievement 😅

        I’ve had a successful Ironman run on Commander difficulty in XCOM 2 (WOTC), but Legendary Ironman continues to elude me. I usually get back into it once or twice each year and try again. Maybe one of these days!

      You might like Last Train Home. Every soldier loss is permanent and there’s only so many you can find/rescue.

      Based on true events, which is the most insane part. It’s kinda like frostpunk and an RTS game mixed together, which is very satisfying. Souls-like difficulty.
