FTL: Faster Than Light

I remember really, really liking this at first. And then after many runs where I kept getting near the end but dying I just found the RNG nature of it too grueling.

Expanding on this, I think this was an absolutely incredible game that was marred by being just a bit too difficult to beat. The odds were unbearably stacked against you and while the minute to minute gameplay of customizing your ship and assigning crew to different points and so on was wonderful, the fact that most of the time you could just get completely roasted because your random event sent you up against a ship you could never beat is really just kind of awful game design in my opinion. And the runs were too long to make it feel ok vs something like Binding of Isaac (which feels more fair in its design to begin with).
