    No Rogue Legacy? How... why?

    I just looked it up and it is only classified as a platformer here. Travesty IMO.

    Rogue Legacy isn't a metroidvania. IIRC there's no real 'gatekeeping' in the game besides needing to fight the area bosses before the final boss.

    Rogue Legacy isn't tagged as a roguelite? What?

    This list could also use more Dust: An Elysian Tale :).

    Surprised to not see Darksiders on this list.

    /s

    Shantae and the Pirate's Curse should have been on the list, the game is really good.

    While not definitive, its Wikipedia page would beg to differ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Legacy
    That page is wrong about so, so many things. It is definitely not a Metroidvania.

    Axiom Verge and Ori are alright, nothing overly special. The Mummy Demastered was fun for what it was. Need to get my ass on Guacamelee already.
    What can change the nature of a man?

    Unepic was so much fun. I highly recommend it. It reminded me so much of my old D&D and MUDing adventures. I just wish the text scaled to TV screens well.
    Ask me about my rock collection.

    Unepic and Yoku are the ones I'm not familiar with, looks like I'll have to check them out!
