    An empty and repetitive game with rough gameplay. The graphics, the design, the music ... All its audiovisual section is very poor.

    I came in with an open mind but did expect a good rogue-like experience, sadly the good parts were not as common as the bad parts. I am no stranger to losing everything on death in games, but having to then run around in a bland environment felt more like me wasting time than playing a game. The combat in the game wasn't the worst that I have experienced but it did feel very uninspired asI came in with an open mind but did expect a good rogue-like experience, sadly the good parts were not as common as the bad parts.

    In a world where games such as Hades, Slay The Spire and Into The Breach have found ways to elevate the Roguelike to new heights, PixelJunk Raiders sadly fails to make a mark. [Issue#357, p.118]

    PixelJunk Raiders may look like an inventive and colorful world to wander around, but it stumbles hard when it comes to darn near everything else that makes a roguelike fun.

    PixelJunk Raiders has a unique vibe and some interesting ideas, including smart implementation of Stadia’s State Share feature, but it isn’t anywhere near as fleshed out or polished as it needs to be. Cheapo presentation, clunky combat, unbalanced roguelike mechanics, and a lack of variety combine to extinguish the game’s promise. PixelJunk Raiders may stand out like a minor oasis on the desolate Stadia release calendar, but there’s a much wider, more vibrant world of roguelike-flavored games out there to explore.
