Procedural generation is an interesting topic to me, as it forgoes traditional level design in favor of a bunch of formulas, rules, and random elements to make varied replayable gameplay.

One of my favorite procgen games is Dwarf Fortress, and how it creates a fully realized world with lore and history, and then places both fortress and adventures as relatively small stories in said world.

Also Deep rock galactic is great in varying its caves, from normal tunnels to massive caverns that you can only traverse using ziplines and platforms

Any other interesting procgen games?

    If you’re interested in contemplating your life and questioning your own sanity because you can’t fucking play a game, you should try Dead Cells. It’s amazing trust me.

      Plus one for Dead Cells, I play a lot of platformers and metroidvanias, but Dead Cells messes me up like no other game.

      I was going to suggest that as well. It’s a rogue like with a metroidvania gameplay. Each level is procedurally generated but it manages to create coherent levels with loots and enemies placed in a sensible manner.
