The newer games, particularly Elden Ring, got wayyyy better about not having to run back to the boss room.
I replayed Dark Souls 1 last year and it made me want to bash my head into the wall every time I had to hoof it back to a boss, especially in the late game.
Ayyy that’s capitalism, baby!!
I beat the first act of Inscryption by making a deck that makes infinite ants. I don’t remember exactly how it worked but I could sacrifice a squirrel and just spawn infinite ants. I think you’re supposed to eventually break this but it was still fun as hell.
I broke the Binding of Isaac during the only successful playthrough of it that I’ve ever done. I had the giants foot, which randomly comes down and smashes enemies. I then had an item that made me in invincible when I stood still. So I could just walk into a room, stand in place, and wait for all the enemies to just be killed.
I know I’ve broken Slay the Spire multiple times, especially using the Construct. I think I also found a way to give myself infinite knives with the Silent. Again, I cant remember what specific cards I used but I played that game A LOT.
The Metal Gear Solid series, particularly Snake Eater.
It’s just so dramatic and over the top like the rest of the game.
They even wisely use it as a pallet cleanser after fighting The End and you have to climb that long ass ladder.
