I'll tell ya, after I broke out the first time and got access to the "heat," the game kind of lost its shine for me. Perhaps it's because I'm such a casual and I can't handle the difficulty, but it just didn't have the same sort of dopamine rush toward completion anymore and I put it down.
Now I'm playing Dead Cells and it's like crack cocaine.
Yeah earned probably a dozen or more heat rewards including a couple of finished runs, but the grind is real as you really are just looping for resources while trying to unlock more of the storyline.
Thanks for the warning on Dead Cells, though. My hundreds and hundreds of hours of BoI suggest I struggle to avoid gamer crack addiction...
