Sure there aren't that many cards but those cards are so well balanced. Every single card has its uses so you're constantly presented with interesting decisions. It feels like almost every other roguelike has dead time where you're just going through the motions whereas in slay the spire you're making decisions from floor 1.

This is the first I hear about tri-Ace games. Thanks!

I've played Persona 4 and 5 and am really looking forward to P3 Reloaded but it's not quite the same enjoyment I found in those games as in the mainline SMT games. Party composition is not as much of a thing in Persona. I've seen Etrian Odyssey mentioned a few times before in the Megaten fandom so it seems like something I'd be into. The mainline games I've played are Nocturne, SMTIV and SMTV. I'm definitely playing Strange Journey next and then maybe Digital Devil Saga.

 

I normally find turn-based combat really boring but I find Shin Megami Tensei games so engrossing in part due to the combat. You need to pay attention to mechanics and properly prepare for each boss fight if you want to overcome them. It's not about just gathering enough exp. Do you know any games similar to SMT when it comes to gameplay?

Nier Automata is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time but I agree with you. The beginning sequence sucks.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Wildfrost! Just look at the artstyle. It's incredibly cute but it also has a lot of strategic depth. Right now winning a run in the game is quite hard but in the beta branch they've just made it easier to win a normal run while also adding more challenge modifiers for those who want the challenge.

I am grinding ranked in Splatoon 3. I wish this game wasn't so underrated as a competitive game outside of Japan.

Would you like them to test on you instead?

A Short Hike only took me around two hours to finish but those were some of the finest two hours I've experienced.

I understand limiting saves to avoid savescumming. Not allowing you to save and quit whenever you want in Funger makes no sense though. I quickly installed a mod for Termina to suspend and resume the game because it's ridiculous to have to play 3+ hours straight before being allowed to close the game.

I really like the current arc in the manga actually. It is a struggle though... So many characters to keep track of, I forget most of them. It could be so much better if someone else took over drawing it but the actual plot is good: Phantom troupe, Hisoka and Kurapika all being near each other is exciting and Tseriednich is shaping up to be a great villain.
