Word Play doesn’t need much to entertain — and it does masterfully, proving that all the hours its developer spent researching game design did not go to waste. A solid basis and a good ear for fan suggestions are ingredients that will, for sure, make this one of the great casual roguelikes of the decade.

Word play is a great, casual rogue lite, perfect for chill days. I can really use my brain to think strategically about my next word, and it’s not always just “what’s the longest word I can make with this 4x4 square of tiles”. It changes because of the many modifiers and special rounds that really shake up the gameplay. There’s 160 of them! Add in a few challenging modes and you got yourself a solid rogue lite that makes me come back on many occasions
