Loved when the bush said “it’s bushing time” and bushed all over the final game

bel gioco devo dire (mi pare lo abbia finito anche daniele)

An essentially flawless game. Inscryption attains this title by having not only fantastic card game mechanics, ( the only I've ever liked ) a gripping story with tons of jaw-dropping twists, but most importantly: doesn't let any of these elements overstay their welcome.

The game quickly moves from different interesting mechanics, constantly keeping things fresh. The story only moves forward on rare occasions, so when something story-related does happen, it feels all the more special.

The visuals and music were fantastic. Specifically, I loved how the diegetic all the UI was. For most of the game, there is virtually no onscreen UI, and all information is presented through in-game items. To me, this is incredibly engaging and keeps me immersed in the experience.

Overall, Daniel Mullins, my boy, you're one to watch.

I am RARELY a card game player, but this 100% sold me. The gameplay is easy to pick up but endlessly interesting, the visuals are so cohesive (despite Acts 1-3 looking VERY different from each other), and the ways that it blends genre conventions gives Inscryption a wonderfully unique identity.

banger go play it


Creativity at its finest while maintaining absolutely fantastic gameplay

goo goo gaa gaa P03, i want milk!

Confia que o processo é lento e o esquema é complexo. Absolute PEDRADA. Mesmo se tu é um baiano que não gosta de jogo de carta (dá uma chance fia duma puta)

good game but too much RNG for me

Fun and strategic game that makes you think about how to best utilize your limited resources. Very quick learning curve.
Most of the mystique & illusion had been lost by the 2nd / 3rd act in terms of storytelling but helps to build upon the already existing gameplay.

Last year, I did something I have been trying to avoid my whole life: I got into Magic: The Gathering. I have been trying to avoid this for several reasons: the community has an awful rep, the cost to play (and pay to win nature of deckbuilding) is astronomical on my tiny budget, and the game itself seems so daunting with its keywords and finicky rules. That being said, after taking the plunge due to my incessant roommate, I have fallen in love with the game for all the reasons I thought I would dislike it.

Inscryption is a bizarre loveletter to TCG's. it really nails the beauty of creating an absolutely busted deck, and the thrill of the hunt when it comes to finding just the right card to bring that synergy together. It also taps into the inherent goofiness of TCG themes (MTG is about to release a set of cowboy cards, so the jump to robots in the third act is in line with the inconsistency of the goofy expansions).

I went into this blind, and was surprised by all the twists and turns.

Game would have been a 4,5/5 if it stopped after act 1. Sadly it didn't which resulted in it being a different experience.

My thoughts:
(+ = (mostly) positive; - = (mostly) negative)
+ Gameplay;
Act 1 was solid, understandable and a lot of fun. In the later acts it adds new elements but it doesn't make the game more fun. It sadly becomes more RNG heavy.

+- Music;
Fits the vibe but nothing memorabele.

+- Graphics;
Act 1 = 5/5
Act 2 = 2/5
Act 3 = 3/5

+- Story/Characters;
I was cautious, because I don't vibe with spooky games like these. The act 1 story was a lot of fun, but the creepypasta shit after that ruins it.

Recommend?
It's a solid card game, and if you like spooky stuff it's a must. Otherwise idk. If you don't like the demo/trailer, don't play the full game.

Este hombre hace juegazos y si bien este se vuelve un poco cansino lo mejor es siempre lo que no te cuenta y el como se une con sus otros juegos.

The meta narrative isn't as interesting as it thinks it is, and it kind of dampens the experience after the first act, but its still a fun game.

I like it, but there's somehow always "but" with the things I like.

First of all, Magnificus was shafted for all the other scrybes favor. He's brought up as this mysterious figure from others, and you never get to know much more about him; which isn't a problem mostly for me (???) But when the end, final act is there, Magnificus is treated like an actual joke at the end? I know it's supposed to be some "awesome" battle probably but it's so jarring to watch Leshy plead for one more match to be hit in the face with a glorified yugi-oh battle.
TLDR; Magnificus is basically a wall-flower

The second, and I believe final gripe I have of this game is in the ARG, and it's a thing I've seen some other media I've come into contact do to make them story all the more "edgy"(??) And it's either for some reason adding Hitler or "the Russians", and Inscryption does BOTH. There was no point in needing to add that in the first place, it doesn't make your story any more impactful, and in my opinion it more or so just makes it worse.

play this game. there's nothing else to say.

Achei o jogo completamente pelo acaso e me surpreendi muito, toda vez que eu me acostumava com a gameplay, ele inovava em algo. E a temática e ambientação é e extremamente genial e linda
