This is admittedly not that big of a deal I guess but it drives me nuts how often modern games describe themselves like: a zelda-esque soulsborne roguelike metroidvania- or something equally indecipherable to anyone outside of the entrenched Gamer demographic. I am thoroughly "search action"-pilled...we really gotta use words better!

My understanding was that what distinguished roguelite from roguelike was progression across runs.
