>I have never noticed Spewer getting a speed up because I down him in 2-3 rounds
I love how Spewer defenders inevitably end up agreeing with me on why the fight sucks without realizing it, and their whole thesis is just them defending him to be contrarian.
>No, you see, Spewer is a good fight, because every single time I played him, without exception, I basically just skipped the fight.
This is like if someone defended a book because the cliffnotes version is good. It's like if I was a save editor guy, started Mewgenics with all 7 cats, absolutely BTFO the fuck out of Radical Rat within a round every single time, and then tried arguing that he was the best fight in the whole game.

By this logic, you have The Mother, Boris, Alice, The Forgotten Ones, Zapphauser, Fenrir, Chan Hung, Bloat and the Vine Brothers way too fucking low, brother.

Especially cause Bloat and the Vine Brothers are really good fights.

Correct Spewer placement, albeit.

>Must-plays
Self-explanatory. Revolutionary, spectacular games amplified by Edmund's unique sensibilities.
>Great but requires patience
Games for a niche that require a certain capacity for bullshit. The End is Nigh can get relentlessly difficult and I think Mewgenics has a lot of high moments but has so many irritations that add up that playing the game can be exhausting and irritating if you're not built for it, and I don't think the design is ever changing to be as laser focused as I'd prefer it to be.
>Good but with flaws/obsoleted
I liked Bum-bo actually. Flash Meat Boy is actually fun but it's pretty much a lesser SMB with a wackass resolution. Flash Isaac is pretty much just is an underdeveloped, unpolished version of the game but I think it has more beauty and edge than its remake, especially in its soundtrack and presentation.
>Cute little games
If you have a passing interest in Edmund's canon of games I think all of these should be played at minimum, but if you're not then it's fine to skip out. They're all cute little artsy games with unique mechanics. Coil is probably the most unintuitive but it's one of Edmund's most striking and unique artistic expressions. Time Fcuk and Aether are some of Edmund's most important and strongly echo the themes present throughout his work. Spewer is a little jank but it's a pretty novel platformer, can't say anything else plays exactly like it.
>Only bother if a megafan
The rest of Edmund's work. I think the majority of this stuff is a mildly amusing timewaster at best and unplayably bad at worse. Yes, even Gish, which despite being the biggest game in this bunch is CBT in game form. Cunt is funny and Grey Matter has good music, that's about it.
>Lost media
Host was a multiplayer game whose servers have long since been dead and there's no means to play it as far as I know.
>Collection
Collections with interesting stuff if you're a fan.
>Not even vidya

it's up there with isaac/meat boy as one of his best games, but it's a very tiring experience and doesn't lend itself to replayability after the 200+ goddamn hours needed to set off the nuke.
>>
>>736462817
I feel like there should be a penalty for using an offclass spell, maybe that goes against the breeding stuff but it feels wrong that certain classes are just there to put their spells on someone else.

>>736462790
I just think Isaac is a much more easy game to get into and enjoy. Yes, Mewgenics is Edmund's magnum opus, and in many ways I think it is too, but if one enjoys the best parts of the game, the build-drafting tactics roguelite gameplay with a funny artstyle, they also have to stomach:
>the intentionally unintuitive, cumbersome house mechanics
>the restraint to not breed perfect cats to steamroll the game
>the irritations of daily item management
>the persistent need to gear up and optimize your cats every run to have the best chance of winning with what you have
>the NPC grind to get basic features and amenities
>the lacking clarity in tooltips and descriptions on enemy behaviors, items and abilities, some of which is outright intentional
>the mind-numbingly simple event system which is a mildly flavorful at best, pick-the-greenest-option on average, and severely arbitrarily punishing at worst
>the intentional progress gates and quests from Dr. Beanies, some of which are utter cancer to experience
>the game potentially giving unwinnable scenarios with your builds, made worse from that fact that these failures can take away metaprogression
Isaac isn't perfect either but it's a less ambitious game and its biggest issue (lack of clarity in its item descriptions) has since been mostly resolved.
>>736463097
Time Fcuk should probably be above it but Flash Meat Boy essentially became SMB and it was cute to group it with Flash Isaac.
>>
>>736462679
I like your tierlist. Mew is really testing my patience but I'm trusting the plan/steak

I also agree with >>736463097 though, Time Fcuk deserves to be at least one tier above, I'd even put it two tiers above in it's own just 'Good' category since I can't think of any distinct flaws

>the intentionally unintuitive, cumbersome house mechanics

These at least could be easily fixed with QoL updates. Although being aware of how Steakmund is and how long it took for him to begrudgingly add in the better descriptions in Isaac I know well only modders will likely be doing for a long while.
Hell could even just look at other strategy games with resources for players to develop and copy the homework. With shit like Stellaris there's no need to memory what happened or what planets are doing terribly, you open the UI and pull a list and that's that. Likewise a list of what the fuck cats did during the end of day or of the cats would be a great convenience to make house management less ass.
In the same way inventory could be made simpler with something like a white list black list of items you want to be auto-trashed or prioritized.
And that's just me spitballing, actual codefags could probably come up with better

The fucking controls made me want to fucking kill myself. You are fighting the game more than actually playing it. Corners are deathtraps, and tying Gish into a pretzel and insta-dying are too common. I beat it and as I still did not have a solid grasp on the controls whatsoever. It's novel but not in a good way.

Grey-Matter is actually pretty good once you hook a controller to it, so I'd put it a tier above.
Also I'd move flash Meat Boy to the megafan tier(the controls on it suck dick, I agree with the other anons), and move Time Fcuk one spot up.
Also Triachnid I probably wouldn't change the position you chose, but I will say the game does suck at explaining the mechanics to you, but once you got a hang of it, messing around with the web physics is actually really fun to see what you can come up with.

Monk is already pretty good, it gains the most armor midfight. A Tinkerer built for frontline would also be good, repair armor in particular is notable with jagged edges+, since you'll be able to instantly gain a bunch of thorns and still get your armor back, though it relies on your having good armor from your gear. Tank or Butcher would be fine if you just want to trample/jump on people, but I think that's easier to get elsewhere compared with good sources of armor.

Hunter is getting nerfed, my guess is less projectiles in scattershot and only 50% damage of bounced projectiles from rubber bullets

I'm betting First of Fate gets hit hard and Scatter Shot gets a cost increase. Also Merciless getting hit in some way so it doesn't infinite with zoomzerk.
