As I was looking through my games, I found that usually it’s the opposite for me. I’ll have things I’m reliably good at, but I’ll completely & utterly fail every now & then.
I do have a proper answer, though. Enter the Gungeon!
Now, I don’t mean to brag (okay, yes I do), but I’d say I’m pretty good at this game. Not pro-level or anything, but I haven’t had it that long, and already have shortcuts 1-4 (out of 5), beat two super secret bosses, beat the Dragun twice, unlocked The Robot, amd crafted the Bullet that Can Kill the Past.
But despite all that, I find my skills vary wildy both ways. Now, some of that is just due to the game’s Roguelike nature, but not completely.
So, I can reliably get to the boss on Floor 3, though whether or not I beat it is up in the air. Sometimes, when I have the best guns, a great set of items, and 6-7 hearts, I’ll get hit by absolutely everything, and die anyway. Despite this, I can have awful items, only 1.5 hearts, and only my starter gun, yet somehow manage to beat the boss flawlessly with no damage.
The weirdest part is this can happen mid run. I’ve had times where I get completely destroyed on Floors 1 & 2, but completely turn around on Floor 3 and make it all the way to the end.

I’ve seen the third floor bosses can be tough folks, but I’m surprised that the third floor can manage to be consistently easy for you. Also, I’m glad to hear you’re liking the game!

Yeah, I actually use my basic gun on everything but bosses up until Floor 4. That came partially out of necessity while unlocking the shortcuts, but now it’s just something I do by default. Really helped me up my game! I knew it’d be great, though. I watch a lot of game design videos, and they always bring it up if Roguelikes get mentioned.
