Isaac's magic is the pile-up: two harmless items collide and suddenly you're firing lasers through walls. These are the roguelikes that build a run out of accidents.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Risk of Rain 2
ActionShooterArcade
Item stacking taken to absurdity in 3D — by minute forty you are a god, and the game is still winning.
4.1/5Player ratingMC82View game
2
Cult of the Lamb
ActionAdventureStrategy
The same top-down run structure, with a village of devoted followers to come home to between crusades.
4.1/5Player ratingView game
3
Enter the Gungeon
ActionShooterIndie
The obvious next run: rooms, dodge-rolls and hundreds of guns, some of which are jokes that still shoot.
4.1/5Player ratingMC84View game
4
Nuclear Throne
ActionShooterRPG
Faster and meaner. Runs last minutes, mutations stack fast, and death is always your own fault.
4.0/5Player ratingView game
5
Noita
ActionAdventureRPG
Every pixel simulated, every wand craftable. No game rewards reckless experimentation — or punishes it — like this.
