Too Long; Didn't Read

2020-2021 has seen more games centered around repetition than ever before. Time-loops and Roguelikes share many similarities and are often confused with one another. While both revolve around repetition, there are important distinctions to point out. The coincidence of a worldwide pandemic that forced many to stay home and live increasingly repetitive lives has created some unintended draw to these games that suddenly became much more relevant. There are plenty of gameplay and narrative threads to use and make these games feel fresh.
