  1. Can you offer an example where Dead Cells felt unfair? Asking as a game designer, to better understand player perception.

    For example in Hades, a projectile can hide behind a column/wall and sneak up on you. That's an unfair death.

  2. Great review – I was hesitating getting this as it sort of seems a little out of my usual genre – but this review coupled with the 'Overwhelmingly positive' rating on steam has convinced me to pull the trigger

  3. Been playing this since it dropped in early access a couple years back & I'm glad to have seen it grow into a truly magical experience. Started a new save on hell mode in epic & just grabbed my switch version a few days ago. I'm addicted & can't get enough. Hell we'll probably end up buying a steam copy too since I love super giant so much

  5. Last time I played this gem was in early early access and I made it to the final boss fight on my 3rd run. I wonder how much more there is in the game now 10 monthes later and its fully released. Time to grind bby!
