    I am guilty of hoarding great games and never finishing them. This sale I only bought one game, Slay the Spire. Haven't had much time to play it, but the two runs I did play were really good....

    I've tried twice but I have problems with font rendering (kerning) on linux on some websites. My friend also experiences this. Couldn't fix it, so I switched back.

    I'm halfway through (maybe a bit more) and about 50 hours in. You don't actually need that much free time to play it, since you can save anywhere and it's easy to pick up and continue what you...

    I'm halfway through (maybe a bit more) and about 50 hours in. You don't actually need that much free time to play it, since you can save anywhere and it's easy to pick up and continue what you were doing. I stopped playing for two or three months because I wanted to play other games, and picked it up again about two days ago with no issues. I think part of it is because, after a few hours, the game opens up and lets you set your own goals. While you transverse the map, there's always something that catches your attention and sidetracks you, and that makes the world feel pretty alive. It's also not that hard. It's like as hard as you want it to be. If you want to play it safe in battle there are many options (food, potions, armor, extra hearts) which are pretty rewarding to find (or make), since the game does a good job convincing you that you did it by yourself. I usually like to take risks (more attack rather than defense, more stamina than hearts) and it's just as viable.
    Have fun!
