I get the "You beat the boss, you beat the game", but I also see the idea of in a rougelike that you should unlock everything.

At least one run, and after that, whenever you're bored with it.

I think there's a difference between "beating" a game and "completing" a game.

You "beat" a game by defeating the final boss. You "complete" a game by finishing all side-quests, unlocking all upgrades, etc.

So I guess for a roguelike, completing 1 full run and defeating the final boss would count as "beating" the game for me.

I consider beating it to be that you are in a position where for a regular run you can likely beat it 80% of the time.

This sounds right to me

It's not going to work for some of the more luck-based ones, but I think it's when you've mastered it. I never unlocked everything in Binding of Isaac, but I could play as any character and complete a run 95% of the time regardless of the items it gave me.

I'd say once you've beaten all the final bosses. For Binding of Isaac, I'd say once you beat Isaac, ???, Satan, Mega Satan, etc.

You've beaten it after you complete one run. You haven't 100%ed it, but you've completed it.

You don't, that's part of the appeal. They're infinitely replayable.
