As others have said the first act is really, really good, with Inscryption managing to successfully balance roguelike deckbuilding and puzzle room mechanics. Unfortunately it doesn't manage to maintain that quality as it moves to its next stages - I appreciate the ideas and ambition involved (and there are still some interesting moments to come) but the quality of the card game suffers slightly, especially in the middle.

One of those 'if only' cases where I think something really great could have been created if the first section had been expanded upon and made the focus. This is maybe quite a negative read on a game that I still enjoyed, but I think there were different cards in Daniel Mullins' hand that he could have used to achieve an even better result.
