Rogue Legacy 2 Review (PS5) | Push Square
For many, Rogue Legacy's more tangible sense of progression elevated it above other titles in the rogue-like indie boom. Pioneering the rogue-lite some 10 years ago, the first game was a very stern challenge, but one that you'd eventually overcome thanks to meaningful, permanent upgrades. The loop of running through the game, using the gold you earned to become more powerful, then doing it all again is undeniably brilliant, and the added layer of each character having unique traits made each attempt memorable. Rogue Legacy 2 recaptures all of that, but builds on that simple design with an unfathomable amount of variables, delivering a more than worthy sequel.
