Ever played Sonic and thought, \u201cWhat if this were a super stylish roguelike?\u201d Honestly, it\u2019s not such a wild idea. There\u2019s just something magical about that feeling of the world whipping past you, and while Sonic may be the undisputed champ of speed, a few indie games manage to capture that same thrill in their own unique ways. The latest? Haste<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Haste is all about one thing: outrunning the end of the universe. And yeah, you\u2019ve gotta be really fast to do that. Luckily, you are. Beyond your regular sprint, you can hold down the run button to pause for a second, then blast off like a rocket. You\u2019re so fast, in fact, that a huge part of the game is built around launching off ramps for huge air time, then sticking the landing to keep that sweet momentum flowing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It only gets better as you progress. You\u2019ll unlock and master slick abilities, like a killer surfboard that cranks your speed even higher, and gather items to fine-tune your build. By the time you\u2019re deep into a run, you\u2019re gliding across the landscape like wind. Even early on, though, you\u2019ll feel smooth and fluid, like water just finding its path.<\/p>\r\n
