Current Events > Slay the spire is the best game of 2019 and it isn't even close.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So goddamn well made and addictive

Roguelike/lite is one of those genres I tried to get into but just can't. They don't hold my attention at all.

And for anyone else curious:

The one thing I don't like about it is that the game doesn't start to get hard until like ascension 17 and it takes a really long time to grind up to that. Even act 4 completions are not hard below that if you know what you are doing and don't try to force "archetypes", take weak cards late or greed by skipping mediocre cards early, and know all the victory conditions for the various characters.

Holy moly the replay value on the Steam version is insane though with all the mods that add new characters, acts, relics, events, etc, and even without it you could spend 200+ hours on the game.
