If you haven't played Slay the Spire yet, I highly recommend it. Never thought I'll find myself playing a roguelike deck-builder, but this game is just a massive amount of fun. It's got a huge depth to it, and you can always keep learning and improving. Beware though - it's highly addictive and can be a huge time sink ;-) If you want to get started or improve your game, check out Jorbs - he's a twitch streamer and probably considered the best Slay the Spire player out there. He's got a YouTube channel[0] where he uploads "over explained" runs, in which he shares his thinking processes and the logic behind his decision making. Definitely helped me improve!

I would recommend not getting the game if you have a highly addictive personality when it comes to games. I spent hundreds of hours on slay the spire and it affected my last relationship. Amazing game though.

    Probably spending time playing that should have been spent talking to/being with their partner. Depending on your and your partners personality it can take a serious toll.

  This is such a strange comment to me. It's not got a particularly sinister design that means it is more addictive than many other games out there - as far as I can tell from what I've played of it anyway. I don't think you can blame the game for anything that happened to you and I hope your next relationship goes better.

    No argument from me about that. It’s why I know I can’t play any game with a social element (MMOs). Min max type is just so, so fun for me. Same thing happened with Darkest Dungeon.
