Dodged most of the hype (and spoliers) when this game came out but saw it mentioned a bunch but I'm happy to report it lives up to it. I've finally come to terms with my love of deck-builders and this game is wholly to blame. The writing is awesome, the layers of narrative are really engaging, and there are a few Really neat moments that shift things up that make for a delightfully memorable experience. The skill progression as you kinda get the hang of how the game plays and the card synergies work isn't impenetrable and its really rewarding to figure out all out. It's a little deliberately obscure at times but never to the point of frustration for me. Artistically, the visual design is dark and intruiging, and the music/sound design compliments the tone of the game seamlessly. The mechanics alone have brought me back to it several times since I've completed it, and I have a feeling it'll live on my switch for a while.
