Roguelike recommendations? (self.gaming)

Getting into DCSS a lot recently. Still just running Minotaur Berserker with the furthest I've made it being the 10th floor aha.

Regardless, really enjoying it and wondering if others have any other recommendations. I tried ToME4 and just felt overwhelmed and wasn't enjoying myself too much.

Have my eyes of Caves of Qud as well. Love the more "literary" aspect to it (even though I know it's often nonsense), and the atmosphere/setting. Seems to be highly regarded overall though. Wondering if I should buy it and play alongside DCSS.

I'm actually not sure if this fully counts as a roguelike (because I'm not really super familiar with the genre), but I started Returnal on PC yesterday and it already seems to be a pretty darn good game only after 30 minutes of play time. I am looking forward to putting more time into it!

I really liked it at first, but after 10 or so runs, it started getting a bit stale. It's a really well done game, but the level gen gets limiting pretty quickly and I wasn't a fan of half of the weapons.

Definitely still worth checking out, and the PC version ran pretty well for me.

It does fit the bill but this one is kinda weird. I loved it don't get me wrong but it doesn't seem like it has a whole lot replayability when you manage to finish the game. I'd still recommend it tho !
