Valve published a brief breakdown of the history of Rogalicks, their subspecies and offshoots

Steam has launched the \"Festival of Perseverance,\" a sale dedicated to various Rogalicks, which runs May 2-9.
In honor of this, Valve has published a breakdown on the official Steam blog dedicated to Rogalikes and games similar to them.
All of these games have elements of fantasy or action role-playing, and persistence in them leads to success.The parsing mentions the 1980 game Rogue, which became the ancestor of the genre, the Roguelike genre, simplified Roguelikes, metroidvania, modern Roguelikes, and games similar to Dark Souls.The parsing is interesting and rich, although it does not take much time to read.
It talks, for example, about the 2008 \"Berlin Interpretation\" of Rogalicks and the progenitor games of Metroidvania.You can read the parsing here.
