After seeing Insrcyption on the top of many 2021 hitlist, i buckled down and got it yesterday.

It fucking rocks. It surprising, extremely well made, both artistically and gameplay wise. If you have any interest in card-based fighting or just strategic/turn based games you should get it.

It's really one of those "Trust me bro its good" games. The fewer spoilers you have, the better.

    It’s really one of those “Trust me bro its good” games.

    I've said this line so many times about Inscryption after my friends ask if they should play it. After I answer the inevitable follow up question "Is it a roguelike?" they are no longer interested which is frustrating because I'm trying not to spoil anything for them. My friends don't trust me :sadness:

      oh yeah it definitely needs the continual introduction of new mechanics and deck resets to stay fresh the whole time, if it was a normal card battler it would break way too quick.

    Yeah I bought it on a whim, almost never do that for games, one night because of the art style.

    Thought it was a roguelike, but what I ended up getting was arguably cooler

    It's good, but I feel it's a bit short and too easy. Also IIRC the

    spoiler

    story isn't finished because the ARG doesn't have an ending yet.
