The Persistence Reviews
Still, this version of the game does have enough depth, strategy, and replayability to make it a solid, worthwhile addition to your game library.
Roguelikes aren't for everyone, but The Persistence manages to show that a few tweaks to the usual experience can make wonders for accessibility. With a great atmosphere, intriguing setting, and great mechanics that allow for a variety of play styles, The Persistence is a more than worthy game for both roguelike diehards and those looking to finally get into the genre.
The Persistence, developed by Firesprites, is a first-person survival horror all within a procedural rougelike. And all this with high-quality 3D graphics and a terrifying atmosphere. What The Persistence offers is a space survival experience filled with horror, anguish and frustration. The main flaw would be that due to being procedural, the scenarios become repetitive. The game offers replayability by expanding difficulties when completing. And a series of Challenges outside the campaign. I see it as a game that if you like survival horror you should buy.

The Switch version of The Persistence managed to exceed my expectations in every single way. Not only it’s a good proof that you can also port former VR games to a non-VR environment, but it’s also a fun horror-themed roguelike with great visuals and environmental design running pretty well on such underpowered hardware.
