I did a big hmmm at this post and it just so happened to coincide with me throwing out my back and being stuck in bed for a day and a half so I checked out hearthstone and I can’t stop playing it which is very surprising to me because I bounce off the aesthetic super super hard
I’ve been itching to play some kind of srpg for the past year or so but I’ve bounced off of disgaea and tactics ogre and fft. playing hearthstone, though, I think maybe this was actually what I was looking for all along. it feels like active competitive problem solving and that’s so sick!
i’m not able to buy packs of cards right now to have any sort of real competitiveness in ranked so I just grind missions and then play arena every time I have the gold for it. last time I played I got 4 wins! felt really good about that. also the single player roguelike lite content is surprisingly satisfying and you can make some really goofy gimmick decks with it that are a lot of fun to experiment with.
