I've been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee's mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that's not magic the gathering, too predatory).

Edit: Just bought slay the spire and it is really fun so far. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I think it depends on the PG (patient gamer) but I think the philosophy doesn't extend to indie games as much as big budget AAA titles that get pushed out half baked and only end up being good years down the line after they've finally actually finished it. We have patience for indie devs. It's not a zero sum thing. Like, I'll hop on the next ratchet and clank game, no way I'm waiting a year to play it. But for games that I don't care so much about that start out as ps5 exclusives, I always wait for the PC port

    HARD agree with you.

    Indie games are completely different to me than big name titles. I have zero issues picking up an indie game on day 1-2 if it’s rated well. I’ll even PREORDER and/or donate if it’s a dev that I love (lookin at you, Mullins, you fukkin genius…)

    AA/AAA games, I will almost NEVER buy in the first year. I do kinda regret not snagging Elden Ring earlier, but a year later at 30USD it was a steal.

    Cyberpunk I still hafta start but apparently now is the best time to play it! Very happy I didn’t get that on launch.

    Returnal is the last game I caved at launch (on the computer). Full Dualsense triggers and haptic support, ran incredibly on day one, and I got a 10USD discount from launch price (which was 60 to begin with, fuck a 70 money price)

    CP2077 had a great little patient trick. I took a gamble, bought it on clearance for $17 during the whole "this game will never be playable" phase. I let it age like a fine wine, and cracked it open 3 months later when the price was back to full and people were enjoying it.
