    Hey All! So last week, Hex has released it's sixth expansion, hot off the heels of also raising the level cap to 15 and having two separate zones. What does everybody think of this game, or have checked it out? I for one think it's actually the best TCG around, not the least for it's really cool world, the large amount of single-player content (that is FREE I might add), and the cool mechanics.

    What does everybody else think?

    As someone who contributed a hefty amount to their well-produced kickstarter campaign (this was my first and last kickstarter donation), in my eyes Hex has become a horrific garbage fire.

    They were extremely late in delivering the playable alpha to backers

    The game was supposed to be final years ago yet is still in early access last I checked

    They had partnered with a shady-ass South American company that had you buying packs from a shady-ass foreign website

    The UI is by far the worst in the genre [seriously, MTGO had a better interface 15 years ago] and many aspects are still flat-out broken or missing

    Many of the goals and features outlined in the kickstarter campaign still have yet to be implemented going on five years later

    I could keep going, and I almost want to once I'm home tonight and not typing on my phone, but really people: do not give these people your time or money.

    Edit:

    Glancing back at the OP: the game is still janky as all hell, still in early access after almost five years in development, and they're now releasing their SIXTH expansion!? What if instead of pushing out new card sets to their store they focused on base form and function first?

    Man, this game and its developers make me so mad every time I'm reminded that it's still somehow limping along.

    These are all fair points. One of the reasons that I started posting is because they finally became self-published again.

    The CEO recently had an AMA and did say that the team was still working on some of the things that haven't been implemented. Even so, it was meant to be a 10 year plan, and Hex is barely on it's third year, if that.

    Also, the reason that they keep releasing expansions is because that's how they will make money. Honestly, that's when people buy packs, ect. If they didn't do that, then it would be hard to fund them actually changing anything.

    However, far be it from me to change how you feel. Sorry this post made you feel bad!
