I might be part of a dying breed, but I always get a thrill from seeing games outside the AAA space receive boxed editions. There’s something satisfying about holding a physical copy in your hands, and it gives me the perfect excuse to hoard them on my shelves.
The latest rogue to land a physical release is the roguelite FPS Abyssus which is embracing the format this summer. The physical release known as the Brine Edition comes packed with four DLC expansions: Brinehunter DLC, Brineguard DLC, Brinefrost DLC, and Brinerot DLC and is priced at £29.99. You can place your pre-order for the Brine Edition here.
Mike reviewed Abyssus when it launched last August. In his review, he said: “I really like Abyssus, particularly when playing in a party. “It’s in the game’s most chaotic moments that it shines brightest, when the team is up against it and working together.”

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.
What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
