The Dead Cells devs have been putting in work on their multiplayer rogue lite Windblown, which is super fun.
Hades 2 is in a great spot and will keep getting better
Risk of Rain (1+2) both fantastic
But for really obscure and interesting mechanics and a true rogue like experience: Noita. It’s pixel graphics but every foreground pixel is simulated and there are a craft huge number of interactions between substances and spells. There’s deep lore that you have to be very dedicated to decipher. There’s an actual alchemy system that changes depending on map seed.
Oh, and it’s really hard.
