It's been close to two years since I first booted up Inscryption, and I've just now 100%'d all of the achievements. What started as a fascinating and vibey cardplay experience in the first act of the game developed into a mind-bending love letter to classic games, and then, upon tearful completion of the story, turned into a deliciously challenging roguelike challenge mode in Kacey's Mod, with which I would be obsessed, off and on, for the better part of two years. The creativity on display here is baffling, from the story, to the art, to the brilliant gameplay. Still my favorite game of 2021 (tied with Echoes of The Eye if we're counting that as a game), and safely one of my favorite games of all time. Mr. Mullins, I can't wait for whatever you've got planned next, and Leshy, thanks for an incredible time <3.
