We all know and love that “one more run” feeling we get when we find a roguelike that clicks with us. The thrill of never knowing exactly what your next attempt will look like make these some of the best PC games out there alongside the best FPS games on PC. Just like Metroidvanias, though, just calling something a roguelike doesn’t tell you a lot about it. They all have some level of randomized elements to them, but exactly what changes, what you keep, and even what you are doing in the game can vary. This means there is more than likely a roguelike that is perfect for your tastes. The only trouble is finding it. Don’t worry, our list won’t change if you come back tomorrow and will still have the best roguelikes you can play on PC.
While you’re at it, check out all the upcoming PC games we’re excited about to see if any future roguelikes seem interesting.

Hades 2 since it is still technically in early access, but it has already managed to surpass the first game for us. This sequel keeps the same great combat and structure of fighting rooms and picking paths with various rewards but expands on your build options in clever ways. Melinoe has her own set of weapons to learn and upgrade, but also an entirely new magic system that makes magic builds far more viable than they were in the first game. You can expect the same amazing level of writing and acting here as well. We have no doubt that
Hades 2 will be the new gold standard for the genre once it is fully released, but even now it is hard to beat. Hades II — The Olympic Update Trailer
