Best Metacritic Games of January 2019
2) Slay the Spire (91)
Slay the Spire is a unique twist on the deck-building genre, combining its traditional elements with those of rogue-likes. By building your deck, you’re able to journey out to take on the various creatures and do exactly what the name of the game says.
Critics have praised it for a few reasons. First, the way it blends the two genres is excellent, ensuring that it remains fun and rewarding throughout.
Second, how accessible it is makes it perfect for players who aren’t versed in the potentially daunting world of deck building games. You also don’t need to spend tens of hours to be successful.
That doesn’t mean that it is a shallow experience, though, with you having to think deeply about your strategy when in combat. If the basic blend of gameplay grabs you, you can expect to spend a long time in Slay the Spire’s world.
