I made the critical error of buying this game right around the beginning of my exams. The idea being I'm not the biggest roguelike fan so I'll be playing it a bit here and there... and then I proceeded to clock in some 50+ hours in span of like two weeks. If risking one's academic progress due to how great this game is, isn't an endorsement, I dont know what is. But to elaborate further, I have to say, I dont think im qualified to review this game in it's entired given my lack of experience in the genre as a whole, but between all the possbile builds, unique setting, easter eggs, paths, hidden bits lore, etc. this is at the bare minimum one of the most unique game/roguelike I've had the priviledge to play. I dont think I even have anything to complain about gameplay-wise, game is fun and surprisingly approachable to new players allowing you to do quick saves (on lower difficulties) to help you understand the complexities of this game. One thing that could be improved (in my unqualified opinion) is the option for demo version, as I think it's bit of an hard sell to new people who never even heard of this game to shell out 25 bucks, although I cant stress this enough the game is fully worth it.

Always remember: - The best defense is never getting spotted in the first place. - Staying away from the center means staying away from things that can spot you. - If you need to fight, try and force a one-on-one. - Always have a launcher, for the situations where you can't. - The only HP that matters is the last. - Conversely, know when it's time to make a tactical retreat. - A retreat isn't very tactical if you don't know where you're going. - If there isn't a way to get where you want to go, make one. - An empty slot is a wasted slot. Find something. - Always Read Everything. - Always keep your Mind on the Cog :D

This game is the shining beacon of classic rogue-likes and it deserves way more attention and praise than it gets. The game is difficult but fair and heavily rewards planning and learning from your mistakes. It takes some time to get used to and is definitely not for everyone, but this game feels like it has unlimited potential.

Nowhere else have I seen a game dev so devoted (the man answers every single forum post, puts community members in the game as NPCs, still streams the game after a decade of development), a design philosophy so deliberate (nothing taken for granted; read the dev's eight paragraph design treatise on Steam achievements for one of the funnier examples), a turn-based game so time-pressure-anxiety-inducing (oh god, not another ARC...), a game modeled so closely after the time-honored technique of mock execution (the horror of your perfect build getting destroyed over and over again, then vanquished by the exaltation of unlikely survival, and then the dread of it fated to happen all over again...), a game simultaneously so hair-pullingly RNG-based and so shockingly consistent (reportedly, good players can streak victories with much more consistency than in similar rogue-likes, i.e. DCSS... not that I would know...), etc. etc. etc.. Cogmind and its developer Kyzrati are just total anomalies. It's almost like some kind of weird, scary outsider art. For this alone, Cogmind is worth your consideration. Maybe in 40 more hours I'll be attuned to the mechanics enough to come up with some genuinely informed critique. What I can say now is: the game isn't only astonishing for all those meta-reasons above. It's also just a lot of fun. But fr if I lose one more goddamn <1% coverage Imp. Signal Interpreter I'm quitting forever Also the game is perfectly playable on Mac using base Whisky settings. If anyone wants help setting this up, hmu-- I know very little except what worked for me, haha.
