I'm a dad. I have various dadly duties that pull me away from gaming a lot. Slay the Spire is short, digestible, and I can leave it whenever I need and come back when I can without worry of missing out on something. Plus. StS2 is coming out soon. Lots of bang for your buck here so if you enjoy deck builders and roguelikes plus have a multitude of dadly (or momly) duties, this is where it's at.

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!

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.
