This led to a confusing window where the free to play and the discount periods weren't quite in sync, followed by the event ending abruptly when the error was discovered and corrected by Steam.I'm sorry a...

We're at a point now where deckbuilders can come in all shapes and sizes. Balatro takes the traditional 52 card deck in an all-new direction, Slay the Spire spins the genre towards turn-based combat, and Inscryption drenches the idea in an unsettling atmosphere. My point is, we've got so much choice that just calling a videogame a deckbuilder these days won't tell you nearly enough. That said, it'...
