Card based roguelites are one of my favorite genres and StS is maybe the best one. Wish there was more content.

Lately, I’ve been having a bit of fun with Monster Train on steam.

I decided to just randomly try Overwatch again.

So many changes since I last played.

It really does seem like they’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Zero direction. Benefit of that? Pure chaos. As a Junk main (when I DPS, which isn’t as often as it used to be), the lack of direction and wildly inconsistent game design speaks to me on an emotional level.

As usual, it’s more enjoyable when you don’t take it even remotely seriously and just fuck around. Turns out you can ironically accomplish more when you’re not putting yourself and/or everyone else under pressure. Gives you incentive to experiment and pull off some weirdly effective shit that usually only works once, but still feels great anyway.

Win? Laugh. Lose? Laugh. It’s not that serious.

I’ll get sick of it soon and the toxicity will rear its head at some point, but right now I’m enjoying it for what it is, even if the game is an absolute shell of what it used to be.

Edit: Lol, already got sick of it again, so ditching that now.

The game itself is great, the UI/UX is just on another level. The UI has no ambiguity, is very responsive to input and just feels smooth. The wording on the cards is also excellent and consistent.

StS is a joy to play and I bet it’s also really great on the Steam Deck.

wintermute,

It’s really great on the Stream Deck. The controls work perfectly. I played it a lot while commuting.

knokelmaat,

I played it for about 400 hours on deck. I never play games for longer than 60h :D

I enjoy it, started playing recently! All the fun for me is in trying to find good loadouts completely on my own. I don’t want to watch some YouTuber show me the absolute maxed out best loadout, because that’s the entertainment to me. Progress is slow, I still haven’t cleared the game lol, but when I do, I know it will be my own choices that got me there. No shame in researching how to win if that’s your thing, I just love diving into games like this blind.

Jumped into the newest patch and expedition of No Man’s Sky. Always good fun but after finishing the tasks of the expedition I always get bored very quickly. :D

In Baldur’s Gate 3 I’m stuck in a fight against a boss in act 3, always getting absolutely smashed even though I’m highest level and have (I think) decent equipment and spells. Haven’t found any guide that explains a way to deal with the fight in the intended way, everyone just says to cheese the fight which I’d like to honestly avoid. :/

Do you have any more info to provide for that fight without spoilers for others so that I can point you in the right direction? What's the issue you're running into in that fight?

Takios,
@Takios@feddit.de avatar

I’ll put it behind spoiler tags:

BG3 Act 3 spoilersIt’s the fight against Cazador. I can prevent him from doing anything by using Counterspell pretty easily, but I get swarmed by his minions and I do not have enough damage to kill him in the 3 turn limit anyway so he ascends.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Do you have much crowd control in your party? Can you disable either him or his minions? Pay attention to what he is vulnerable to and what makes him vulnerable when he goes into that other state. Remember that you can inspect any enemy and see their buffs and what type of enemy they are. Perhaps you have special arrows strong against that type. Perhaps you have some spells that do a type of damage that works well against him.

BG3 Act 3 spoilersFinally beat it today after figuring out that one can stop the ritual by pulling Astarion out of his spot with the “Help” action…

Congrats! Yeah, lots of tricky fights in that game are solvable by just observing statuses and such. The game exposes almost 100% of its information.

Slay the Princess, it is a pretty awesome game and Lies of P which just got cracked,I pirated it out of spite cause I felt betrayed when they added denuvo just before release (I don’t buy denuvo games)

One of my favourite games! I’ve got over 400 hours on Steam and some more on mobile. Did all achievements but I’m still struggling with A20 Heart kills so I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. My favourite class is probably the Silent. I also like the Watcher a lot, but she’s a bit too easy and her decks can feel a bit too similar. The Ironclad has grown on me since I’ve realised that the exhaust cards are good actually. And that he’s not really focused on attacks. Defect is my least favourite but I do play all four. My favourite way to win is with Snecko Eye! Getting an early Snecko Eye and then picking all the expensive cards is a lot of fun.

I’ve been meaning to play a few similar games like Monster Train or Wildfrost but so far I’ve always felt like I need to get back to StS to improve a bit more instead.

For people looking to improve I’d recommend jorbs and Baalorlord on Twitch and YouTube, they’re chill and very good at the game.

A similar game I really enjoy is Beneath Oresa.

This is a game I keep coming back to. I love it, and it’s got great replayability. I’m glad the phone version works well now.

delitomatoes,

Was it bad previously?

meteorswarm,

My experience with it on Android had several weird bugs

  • Consumed a lot of battery
  • Crashed on swapping focus to another app
  • Opening the app would get stuck connecting to the game state server (even though the app works fine offline) so I had to use airplane mode to launch the app

These seem resolved now

notfromhere, do gaming w Let's discuss: Slay the Spire

I could never really get into this one. Too much to try to remember with the cards and just not my style overall. Seems like a great game for the genre just not my cup of tea.

knokelmaat,

I found it one of the only ones that did click for me, because all effects are explained on the screen itself (or behind a hover). So I was glad I didn’t need to remember every mechanic to get started with the game.

But I totally understand you, I’ve also bounced of certain well regarded games.

If you haven't played StS: Downfall yet you should.

knokelmaat,

Ok I’ll try it out soon! Thanks for the recommendation.

Recently finished my very first play through of all 3 Mass Effect (Legendary Edition) games. Started Mass Effect: Andromeda, but for some reason it triggers horrible motion sickness after 30 minutes of playing. As in, “I need to have a barf bucket nearly, and then lie down for the rest of the day” kind of bad.

chloyster, do gaming w Let's discuss: Slay the Spire

I absolutely love this type of post! If there is interest I would definitely be down to make this another weekly stickied thing alongside the other thread. Anyone feel free to chime in if they want to see that

knokelmaat,

I was hoping to get some conversation going and it seems to have worked out well! I would love to help out / keep posting these kinds of things regularly. People could dm possible candidates for the next post or put them at the end of their comments. I’m also interested to do this for games that I know are popular but that I don’t play, always fun to hear people being passionate about stuff :).

This is the game I play on my Steamdeck the most. Great for five minutes or 45. I’m at ascension 14 or so.

knokelmaat,

Haha the same, thanks to my deck it became over half of my total steam game time :D

memfree, do gaming w Let's discuss: Slay the Spire

I prefer more casual games, but I do like Slay the Spire. I don’t think I’ve tried to get past A4. I got bored with it a while back and downloaded expansions. I LOVE Downfall and kinda like PackMaster, too. If I am feeling lazy, I will do a custom run and pick my starting cards, and choose ‘slow’ and ‘big game hunter’ options as well. It makes me overpowered, but – again – is enjoyably casual for a change.

knokelmaat,

Hey, games are supposed to be fun. So if you’re able to modify it in a way that makes it more enjoyable to you than that is 100% valid!

I’ll check out downfall!
