    Loop Hero

    Really cool style and the story premise is great, even though it doesn't really go anywhere past the initial supernatural meets scifi meets religious setup. The loop itself was really fun, but, and maybe this is just cuz I don't play deck builders, I felt like the difficulty spiked early on but once I got past that hump and found a good build, I could do basically the same thing to power through the rest of the game (upgrading along the way to get through each area's boss). Maybe that's on me for looking up tips online, since I was so stumped on the first boss, but after figuring out how a few mechanics actually worked and building a deck focused on the Rogue + stacking Attack speed, I found that I could use basically the same setup for the whole game, for both resource building/upgrade grinding as well as fighting bosses. It was honestly pretty anticlimactic to beat the 3rd & 4th bosses each on my first try. Also the switch port is very good, with decent controller support and letting you use touch control in handheld mode (which is how I played most of the game) but that screen is just a bit smaller than I want and if this was on iPad or something I could see myself continuing to play it idly while watching TV and stuff, instead of just dropping it completely after rolling credits.
