I like it, but there's somehow always "but" with the things I like.
First of all, Magnificus was shafted for all the other scrybes favor. He's brought up as this mysterious figure from others, and you never get to know much more about him; which isn't a problem mostly for me (???) But when the end, final act is there, Magnificus is treated like an actual joke at the end? I know it's supposed to be some "awesome" battle probably but it's so jarring to watch Leshy plead for one more match to be hit in the face with a glorified yugi-oh battle.
TLDR; Magnificus is basically a wall-flower
The second, and I believe final gripe I have of this game is in the ARG, and it's a thing I've seen some other media I've come into contact do to make them story all the more "edgy"(??) And it's either for some reason adding Hitler or "the Russians", and Inscryption does BOTH. There was no point in needing to add that in the first place, it doesn't make your story any more impactful, and in my opinion it more or so just makes it worse.

Jogaço da porra, só falta jogar o Kaycee's Mod mas acho que não vou zerar ele pq to com outras coisas pra jogar, apesar de eu ter já visto a série do Markiplier no yt esse jogo ainda me divertiu bastante e segredos que não fazia idéia que existiam.
Enfim, apenas jogue este jogo, vale super a pena e o mais importante, jogue sem saber de nada.

Daniel Mullins is, no questions asked, my favorite game developer in the industry. This is his absolute best work, and one of my all-time favorite games. Inscryption, on top of being a deckbuilder that revels in letting the player break it in a billion different fun ways, houses some of the most clever meta subversions of storytelling I've seen, while oozing through the seams with dank atmosphere.
This, of course, is not where the game ends. The people aren't lying, you should play this game for yourself spoiler-free. Believe me, there is so much waiting for you beneath the surface.

games like this are so hard to review because if i say ANYTHING about this game it will ruin the experience for you. you just gotta trust my word on this when i say this game is fucking incredible. easily the best card game i’ve ever played. inscryption has an amazing plot, an absolutely gorgeous art style, a surprisingly phenomenal soundtrack, and some of the most unique mechanics and plot twists i’ve ever seen. easily the best $20 i’ve ever spent, play this damn game and go into it as blind as possible i’m so serious.
An essentially flawless game. Inscryption attains this title by having not only fantastic card game mechanics, ( the only I've ever liked ) a gripping story with tons of jaw-dropping twists, but most importantly: doesn't let any of these elements overstay their welcome.
The game quickly moves from different interesting mechanics, constantly keeping things fresh. The story only moves forward on rare occasions, so when something story-related does happen, it feels all the more special.
The visuals and music were fantastic. Specifically, I loved how the diegetic all the UI was. For most of the game, there is virtually no onscreen UI, and all information is presented through in-game items. To me, this is incredibly engaging and keeps me immersed in the experience.
Overall, Daniel Mullins, my boy, you're one to watch.

I am RARELY a card game player, but this 100% sold me. The gameplay is easy to pick up but endlessly interesting, the visuals are so cohesive (despite Acts 1-3 looking VERY different from each other), and the ways that it blends genre conventions gives Inscryption a wonderfully unique identity.
banger go play it

Last year, I did something I have been trying to avoid my whole life: I got into Magic: The Gathering. I have been trying to avoid this for several reasons: the community has an awful rep, the cost to play (and pay to win nature of deckbuilding) is astronomical on my tiny budget, and the game itself seems so daunting with its keywords and finicky rules. That being said, after taking the plunge due to my incessant roommate, I have fallen in love with the game for all the reasons I thought I would dislike it.
Inscryption is a bizarre loveletter to TCG's. it really nails the beauty of creating an absolutely busted deck, and the thrill of the hunt when it comes to finding just the right card to bring that synergy together. It also taps into the inherent goofiness of TCG themes (MTG is about to release a set of cowboy cards, so the jump to robots in the third act is in line with the inconsistency of the goofy expansions).
I went into this blind, and was surprised by all the twists and turns.

so the full game is definitely worth playing and does a lot of unique, fun things with the format.......but the meta-story does not always land, it can feel intrusive, and--way too often--outright silly
i'd recommend it, but i'd say that you need to have some tolerance for cringe - and that, while the gameplay is fun, the story will actively prevent you from enjoying it in a way that feels intentional but is still really annoying
