Let me tell you, Slay the Spire is one of those games that feels like a chaotic, card-flinging whirlwind at first. You’ll dive in, gleefully throwing random attacks, eating curses for breakfast, and wondering why the elite just turned you into a squishy pancake in two turns. But here’s the thing: the more you play, the more you realize – this game is way less about luck and way more about skill. At its heart, Slay the Spire is a masterclass in combos and synergies. Sure, you might pick up a seemingly random hand of cards at first, but once you start connecting the dots, it’s like solving a puzzle where each piece gives you a new power boost. Get the right relics, nail the perfect card synergy, and suddenly, you’re a juggernaut of destruction, making bosses look like confused kittens. And let's not forget the randomness – it’s what keeps things interesting! Each run is different, and while luck can sometimes throw you a curveball, true Spire-slayers know how to adapt, turning even the most cursed hands into epic victories. The randomness isn't frustrating – it's exciting! Every run is like shaking a magic 8-ball that could either tell you you're about to destroy everything... or that you're about to get destroyed. The beauty of this game is how it tricks you. It starts out feeling chaotic, but the more you play, the more you realize it’s a perfectly balanced dance of risk and reward. And the deeper you go, the more the "luck" turns into skill, knowledge, and—let’s be real—just pure card-flipping satisfaction. So, if you're ready to flex your brain while occasionally cursing the RNG gods, and absolutely dominating the spire with your killer combos, this is the game for you. Happy slaying!

oh i haven't left a review for this yet. enough has been said about StS, yes it's that good. It's honestly very rare for a game to inspire an entire genre and remain the best game in that genre for half a decade and counting. The magical thing about StS is it's a rare kind of video game you can revisit after a few years and, nothing in it has changed, but somehow, it feels completely different. You see the game with new eyes and suddenly all of your previous assumptions are a jumbled mess again. Your old reliable strategies suddenly stopped working, what changed? Cards you never looked twice at are suddenly crushing a run for you. A character you never fully understood clicks. A character you thought you'd mastered is completely eluding you. Slay the Spire is a really good roguelike deckbuilder. But the thing it has that many of its would-be successors do not is mystique. Can this or that thing be made to work? Is it good? How do you know when you can take it? Was that a fluke, or did you just invent a playstyle you hadn't considered until its pieces materialized for you? You won a run, impressive. Can you do it again, but cleaner this time, without coming so close to dying at this or that point--that deck was fun, could you have built it better, what was its core, what did you think was necessary but wasn't? Everything answer you arrive to in Slay the Spire is met with more questions. The game doesn't ask you them, it just presents problems and pieces of solutions. It teaches you to be curious, open-minded, and creative, beckons you to try and then try again. It isn't just special for the obvious reasons that it is well-designed, balanced, a fun interplay of little challenges and exciting rewards. It is special because it infects you with a mental itch that nothing else really seems to scratch. You begin by trying to overcome a run, and end up trying to overcome an ocean. How incredibly appropriate that at the beginning of the game, we are greeted by a monstrous whale.

This is the best game on Steam, especially if you're an adult. You can stop playing at literally any moment, you don't even need to pause; you don't need internet connection, so you can play on a plane; it's incredibly deep, brilliant, fun, and as immersive as you can afford to be immersed without punishing you for not being able to commit. It's fun to learn, and once you have knowledge of the game, it's not about maintaining a skill (like FPSs) or constantly keeping up with the Dev's changes (like MOBAs). It's like riding a bike, so an adult can come back at any moment without feeling the frustration of being out of practice or getting steamrolled by the most recently buffed thing. I hope that this kind of game is the future of gaming for adults. Thank you for creating this.

Nothing feels as good as getting a good deck synergy going. Makes you feel like an absolute genius for knowing how to read.
