i can reference Hades til the cows come home but in that game you are simultaneously improving your roguelike decision-making AND your skill at combat. runs get faster because you are better (and you get more abilities to kill enemies faster)

REASON #3: WHERE DOES IT END there are a lot of games recently (balatro for one) where i have had to stop playing when ... it stops being fun. and that's kind of a bummer. if you were reading an infinitely long book, sure you can stop at the end of any chapter, but you'd never feel satisfied
