What have you all been playing!
I finished Cairn which was excellent! Highly recommend. I also finally played and beat RE4R DLC Seperate Ways. Also excellent! I love that game!

There’s place in my heart for clunky combat but you’re right, maybe now’s not the right time for that one.
I have Enotria in my library (I pulled the trigger on it after reading about your playthroughs last year). I think I’ll go with it as I know more or less what to expect now.
Valuable insight as always, thanks.
Please don’t let me discourage you, I’ve played some more today and the game is amazing - it’s just not a game you play for the combat. It’s not like Sekiro or Ninja Gaiden or Rise of the Ronin or something where you’d be like “damn, I just want to get in some fun fights today”. Withering Rooms is all about exploration, story, world building, mood, atmosphere and light horror and so far it really shines there. The setting is really cool and it has a very unique vibe to it, almost hitting me the same way as the unique vibe of Dark Souls 1 hit me the first time I played it. So if you were itching for a roguelike and this is your vibe I think you’d like it a lot.
At the same time, I also really enjoyed Enotria too. I don’t know what it is with me and somewhat janky AA games with a lot of heart, but it’s a weakness I think. Greedfall was similar for me (though unfortunately I’ve heard the sequel is not so good 😓). I hope you don’t run into too many bugs, I know there are still some in Enotria unfortunately. But I had a good time with it. Really pretty and well designed environments, cool setting and Commedia Dell’Arte theme, good music too.
Just set your expectations at “charming AA jank” and not “Lies of P level polish” and you’ll be alright.
