Morsels Reviews
I'm happy to give any roguelike or lite a try to see if it hooks me, and after successfully completing my first run, I knew that my stomach was already full of Morsels. If you enjoy its gross, purposefully ugly style and love everything run-based, you'll probably get a kick out of Morsels. In such an oversaturated genre, there are plenty more appetizing offers to satiate your hunger.
Each Morsel is impressively and radically transformative on play.
Morsels is a game marked by boldness and creativity, featuring charismatic characters and a world full of secrets, but it's hindered by confusing systems and excessive punishments that disrupt the flow of the experience, even alienating experienced players. While it hides interesting potential behind its eccentricities, it requires patience and persistence to be fully appreciated. With adjustments to balancing, clearer mechanics, and reduced punishments, Morsels could be much more brilliant, but as it stands, it’s a unique yet limited journey, best suited for those seeking unconventional experiences and willing to deal with its challenges.

Morsels delivers a charming, retro-tinged roguelite experience with fresh run-shaping mechanics and solid action, only slightly held back by sparse explanations and occasional technical hiccups.

While not quite the replacement for The Binding of Isaac I wanted, Morsels has a lot of depth and plenty of challenge for those seeking it.
Morsels has an incredible look and style, but it's uneven across the board. The difficulty ranges wildly from levels to boss fights, the Morsels themselves range from utterly useless to feeling overpowered, and there aren't as many as I would want for a game where you have to do multiple runs. Interacting with items in each level is far too tedious to make them worth engaging with, even if the secrets themselves are special if you do actually find them.
