Addictive story generator
I've played many roguelikes and although many of them are great, addicting and have a strong sense of progression I feel like Curious Expedition 2 has come close to mastering the formula. This is a party-based RPG roguelike with resource management, an evolving hub to return to and a story that's procedurally generated as you play. Now, this doesn't sound different from other games of the same archetype, but it's in the execution is where it matters. Simply, the game is fun and addicting and this is because it doesn't bog you down with too many mechanics and too much complexity. When an item says it does something, it does it. You see a hat, you wear it. You're rewarded a bonus, it just sticks. Moreover, this game is quite immersive in that when you're going to the different locations in Paris, you'll see your active party members alongside you and they'll even barter and have relationships among themselves out in the wilds. Their outfits, looks and names are randomly generated but you can customise their equipment to make the tactical battles to your favour. Difficulty is also customisable with elements such as restarting the entire campaign on death all the way to just that one expedition you're currently on. Combine this with adjusting difficulty with enemy stats and resources and you can really mix and match to the playstyle and challenge you want. I chose a nice middle ground! On top of all this, you're getting an incredibly beautiful art style and the interactions between characters are quite adorable. This isn't a perfect game, however, there's no voice acting, some of the expedition events can get repetitive (for example, you'll see the same ruins or boat wreck from time to time) and I would say the sanity metre is unbalanced in that it drains a little too fast. If you want a fun, addicting, relaxing and immersive RPG roguelike with customisation and a unique story for each run, you've come to the right place!
