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.

A noted step down from 2. I found Nemesis to be quiet disappointing, especially after the tense chase from Mr. X. The length wouldn't bother me, but with the high standard set by 2 they shot themselves in the foot here. There is still a lot to like, and I found the sparse ammo and the enemy health added to the tension, but this thing feels more like DLC than a full game.
Grabbed this on a whim having never played a game in this series before and loved it! The action is snappy and quick, and it looks beautiful! I was initially put off by the cartoon tone, but decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did! The pacing is great, and overall this thing is just a blast to play. Very impressed.
