Pick a game for roguelite newbie

​

Hi!

I've played a lot of Hades, then Hades II, and now I'm playing a lot of Slay the Spire 2. I was yapping at work to a friend about these games, and he responded, "Wow, you really like these roguelike games..." — and it clicked.

I had never really considered it before, but it's true. Resetting progress, ideally with some permanent character upgrades, is totally my thing.

So I did some googling and came up with 3 potential games I'd like to play:

* Mewgenics

* Faster Than Light

* Cult of the Lamb

I'd like to ask you to help me pick one based on the following:

* I'm not a hardcore player. An easy start without 10 hours of learning the basics is perfect. "Easy to learn, hard to master" is exactly what I'm looking for.

* I'm old. I have some adult *meh* responsibilities that sometimes make me end a run early, so ideally a run takes 20–60 minutes and can be saved for later.

* Some of these are welcome, in this order: energetic/immersive music > humor > story > nice visuals

* Feeling overpowered with THE perfect build is welcome

Thank you for your attention
