Going all in on weird, the deck-building roguelike Inscryption was one of those games that dominated my time, and I remember being so proud of myself when I finished it. There's no doubt that it was difficult, but it was more of a test of patience than anything else, success achieved by learning the mechanics (and a bit of luck).

Consisting of three acts, each one had its own visual style and overall theme—from first-person to top-down pixel art—but the foundations remained the same of collecting cards to create a competent deck. There was also a metafictional story that took the form of found footage of a vlogger, and I really enjoyed the rabbit hole.
