Some of you may’ve had that experience with Nethack: learning about the game, thinking how awesome it would be to be one of people who discover it spoilerless, and then coming to the logical conclusion that you are better off just reading the wiki. If there are still no spoilers holdouts, much respect.
Anyway, back when I made the decision to spoil myself on Nethack, I promised myself to one day explore another proper complex roguelike from the start, blind. Experience being lost in mystery of how everything works, and somehow experimenting my way out of this.
Do you have recommendations for games good for this? To be honest not sure if newfangled games with full internal docs count, especially if the docs are hard to ignore.
Oh yeah, it’s surprisingly immersive with in-game mechanics that support such atmosphere.
Recently I also had a blast with Alchemist. It’s still early in terms of content, there is a slice of game that you can enjoy though. It’s really promising and what is there was fun to figure out.
