Most helpful, recommending the game

This is basically the first deck builder game that I have ever played. I played a little bit of Magic The Gathering back in high school and although I never owned any cards myself, I remember having a lot of fun with it so when I saw this game on sale for $6 I figured why not. "It's like Magic but with visual cues" I thought. Well it actually sort of is with the energy/mana system but it's totally it's own thing. It's a very well crafted and thought-out single player card game. I have had so much fun with Slay The Spire that I am now a fan of the genre and am hungry for more. Never did I think I would have put as much time into it as I have. The only gripe I have against it is that I felt that there wasn't enough variety of enemies because while I have played almost 100 hours, I pretty much saw every possible enemy that can be encountered within the first 15 hours of gameplay. If there were as much variety of monsters as there is with the cards, relics and potions this game would be an indisputable masterpiece.

Most helpful, against the game

If a game fails to engage within the first three hours, that's a design flaw to me. Don't care about late game greatness at this point. The visual design is extremely bland and the tactical limitations of the early game are an insult to basic intelligence.
