Played the Pragmata demo, for the most part I really liked it and will probably buy it eventually, combat will be really fun if the complexity ramps up a bit it might push me to get it sooner than later. I want to struggle to navigate the grid whilst fighting the mechs because in the demo it felt like a simple minigame to do damage you get for free in other games. The boss at the end gave me hope though, with room filling aoes and being actively aggressive while you're trying to max out damage on the Grid.
Has the same satisfying feeling of blowing mechs into scrap like Vanquish did as well (An amazing game btw) or maybeeven Binary Domain.
My brother said he tried STS2 and he felt like he was using the same deck and character he was using in the first game at one point. :thinking:
Is there still no jukebox? I think the OST is on the Nintendo Music App at least
Oh wow, count me as another Monster Train 2 fan, I'm comparing it to Slay the Spire 1 here but it just feels massively more exciting off the rip, presentation almost makes the more minimalist vibes of StS feel…cheap? And mechanically it did feel like I was thrown into the deep end in MT2 but I quickly grasped at a Pyregel build and it made StS feel almost lethargic in the deck/ strategy building by comparison.
I am not flushing StS down the toilet or anything, it's still really good, but man does MT2 leave a good first impression.
You know, I've slandered this game and I still don't think it's better than MK8 but the Elimination Tour thingy was fun, might go back to it to see if the changes have made it worth playing more frequently, like maybe a few races after work or something.
