Big agree on roguelike. It's both annoying and entertaining how a whole genre of somewhat popular titles are only described in reference to another basically ancient title.
And some of them have gameplay that doesn't compare all that well to Rogue, but are similar to something else that was considered roguelike! It's just this vague descriptor with a constantly shifting definition depending on who is using it.
No hate intended towards the titles or the players, just language being funny 🤣
We should just call the Issaclikes at this point lol
