I replayed Binding of Isaac a bit yesterday to see what the cards were all about (absolutely nothing), and I just couldn't get over how slow the whole process was (playing the game, not getting the cards). I think it was here where someone was complaining about how the enemies have WAY too much health and their attacks are way too simple, until suddenly their damage quadruples and you die after 40 minutes because you didn't happen to find 8 damage and rate of fire power ups.

Rogue Legacy has everything but bosses die in 1-4 hits (including you, depending on your class) and lets you choose between either running around collecting treasure or going for the area boss. It's a mix of Diablo and Burrito Bison.

I like it because it's fast and I'm generally overly forgiving to games and people, but Worm's totally right about there being way too many sucker punch rooms. There's some legitimate "trap" rooms that give you a second to react, but more often you'll jump up into a tower room and have 6 rockets hit you from both sides of the screen within half a second.

PS to Worm: I'm tariqster on steam. Hello!
