TL;DR Pros: Closely listens to what fans ask for and provides it Blends creative new features into a tried-and-true formula Alternative Acts make for a less predictable experience Embraces the love for lore with a full expanded universe New allies (and co-op) make the quest less lonely Both new player characters are great, I’ve decided Cons: Still a few stability concerns The Merchant is less talkative now Final score: 6/7 — A game that makes both old and new features pop Reviewed on: PC; available on: Windows, MacOS and Linux (Early Access). Price: $11.99 (Steam) This is part 2 of a full review of Slay the Spire 2. You can read Part 1 here. An interesting part of reviewing games is that, no matter how much I enjoy one, it’s difficult to find the energy and motivation to come back to it in my limited free time when I have new ones to try out. I’m happy to report that this is not the case for Slay the Spire 2, nor even the original Slay the Spire — both are a delightful time-sink and neither has gotten old yet...
