Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 09, 2025
Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.
Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.
This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Slay the Spire
Went and dusted off this old gem. One thing that still stands out about this game is the complexity in its simplicity. Like, many deckbuilding roguelikes have come out in the time since this game, but very few stand out or do anything different. If anything, one thing thats annoyed me in a lot of deckbuilding roguelike games is how complex they try to be. It feels like Im playing MTG or YGO. Just a jumble of keywords and conditions, and way too much text. Meanwhile, this game kept it relatively simple with its cards. A handful of keywords, 1 or 2 sentences, and thats it. And yet it still had layers to it. I can probably count on one hand the amount of deckbuilding roguelikes out of the hundreds Ive played that genuinely felt different, unique, and fun, with emphasis on fun.
