Score Breakdown
The Review
Dead Cells fused Metroidvania exploration with roguelike permadeath and the result is one of the tightest action games ever made. Motion Twin's combat is lightning-fast, the weapon variety is staggering, and the procedural level generation keeps every run unpredictable. The Boss Cell difficulty system provides a near-infinite skill ceiling. Six years of free DLC updates made an already excellent game into a genre-defining masterpiece.
Fun Fact
Motion Twin operates as a workers' cooperative where every employee earns the same salary and decisions are made democratically.
