Neow's Sacrifice is not fun.

Every time I choose it I have the WORST time.

• It doesn't actually provide any advantage for the core gameplay loop.
• If the run is going well, you don't need it and it clogs up a potion slot.
• If the run is going badly enough that I do need it, it will not save the run.
• It does not change my run when used. It's just a one-time "Don't Die" button.

I'm sure it's partially a skill issue. I'm sure that Jorbs or Baalorlord could take Sacrifice and use it to choose a path that is more aggressive than they otherwise would and turn that choice into a tangible lasting advantage.

Good for them. Doesn't change the fact that I hate every second of every run when I've picked the damn thing and that kind of defeats the purpose of a video game. "Do I use it or don't I" isn't a decision I enjoy. "I used it and now it's gone forever" is an actively unpleasant feeling.

Frankly I'm glad that I can just abandon the run at the whale screen without penalty now because there are starts that are a waste of play hours to spend any time with.
