5 underrated Roguelikes I can't stop playing

Roguelikes, games where you are expected to die, have become a huge genre in the last decade. These run-based games often feel like modern versions of classic arcade games, in the sense that you are always trying to have your best run yet, but implement permanent upgrades to create some overall progression. Because the framework is so wide, the genre is home to a large variety of games that feel drastically different from each other, but are also easy to recognize. Some of the best are indie games that feel innovative and are often only available on PC, sometimes in early access, like the massive Hades 2. While games like that have broken out into mainstream hits, tons of incredible roguelikes also go under the radar, despite being incredible games that you could play endlessly if you wanted to.
