How is it going HotFix_Gaming fam and subscribers? I hope that everyone is doing well. I am doing pretty well, too. There appears to be some disagreement or discord over the differences what a Roguelike is versus a Roguelite in the comment section. I'm not a huge fan of the genre/subgenre, but I have enjoyed playing some of these kinds of games. From my understanding, the difference lies in having to start over or from a checkpoint in a game after death and whether or not you're able to keep level ups and progression points. Also, Roguelite uses that Roguelike style as it basis while also incorporating elements from other genres. It's basically the same as Soulslike versus Soulslite. Although I've heard of many of these games, I've only played Hades and Returnal from this list. I'm eagerly awaiting Hades 2 and I looked into it, but the early access for Hades 2 is only for PC. The PS5 early access or beta is said to come in the first quarter of 2025. As far as Returnal goes, it holds a special place for me because when I first got my PS5 in January 2023, it was my first actual game I bought for it. What I mean by that is when I got the console, I was able to copy a lot of my PS4 games onto it and upgrade them to the PS5 version. But as far as a physical disc with the PS5 label on it, Returnal was my first. I think it was actually one of the first PS5 games released when the PS5 first came out in late 2020. It was a great game and like you said, that Hyperion boss battle was epic. It took me maybe 3 or 4 tries before I got past that part of the game. 😅
Hey @EBrant_3rd, doing well thank you and hope you are too. Yeah that is pretty muchspot on what you said there. Both very good games them two and yes should have mentioned that to you last time, apologies for that. That's a good memory to remember that and glad it holds a good memory for you. Not sure if that was the case if it was with the console or a bit after. It is an epic battle, the music that goes on during the battle is just something else.
@HotFix_Gaming I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. I am too. Thanks for asking. Oh it's no problem. I've always been a console gamer. I told myself I would eventually give PC games a try, but I haven't seen anything that stands out or is exclusive to PC and not on consoles that would interest me. I just checked and you're right. Returnal came out in April 2021, which was a few months after the PS5 was released in November 2020. You're not kidding about that Hyperion boss battle music. It was epic in every sense of the word. I actually came across a 15 minute loop of it on another channel after reading your comment and had it playing earlier. On the Hyperion level, as you ascend the little cliffs, the music gradually gets louder. Then, you're introduced to the Hyperion monster via the cutscene. Also, they had those rock formations shaped like organ pipes behind a grand piano in an Orchestra blowing in the background. People are still saying 3 years later that that's one of the best boss battles and themes. The whole soundtrack was 🔥. At least for me, there was a drought of great game soundtracks until recently. I remember growing up where just about every game you played had at least a handful of great tunes to jam to. Now, there has been a resurgence. I can think of quite a few games aside from Returnal. Hades, Marvel's Spider-Man 1, 2, and Miles Morales, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War 2018/Ragnarok, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Nexomon/Nexomon: Extinction, Final Fantasy XVI and VII Rebirth, Alan Wake 2, Judgment/Lost Judgment, Like a Dragon/Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Even though the game itself was lackluster, the 2022 Saints Row Reboot had a decent soundtrack. I apologize for rambling and going off on a tangent. 🤦🏾♂️😅 The Hyperion theme just gave me a potential idea for a future video concerning solid game soundtracks.
@@JethanOnYourScreen Roguelikes are games where there's procedurally generated levels and when you die you go back to the start of the game where very little is saved. They typically have lots of items and enemy variety, though that's not a requirement. Roguelites are roguelikes where lots of stuff saves over between runs, or are very easy.
The way I understand it, Roguelites are easier the more you play because there's meta-progression - specifically different from say item & character unlocks in TBOI, which tend to serve as adding variety rather than making the game strictly easier. Roguelites that are easiest to identify are games that have a progression tree that you can spend points or in game currency on outside of every run: like most bullet-heavens, gunfire reborn, robo quest, etc.
@@cymonin5549 I feel like binding of isaac would need more than that to be a roguelite. but these terms are stupid and ill defined so I never say roguelite, especially because roguelite has a negative connontation.

I don't think you know what roguelites are. Spelunky 2 is not a roguelite. Binding of isaac is not a roguelite. I haven't played any of the others
What is a roguelite then? Is isaac a roguelike or just a different genre? These terms confuse me ngl
