If you are looking for a casual card game to play while watching YouTube, Prismata is definitely not for you. But if you miss the golden age of competitive games where your victories actually depended on your skills, this hidden gem is a breath of fresh air. Gameplay & Mechanics: The game combines elements of RTS economy building, deckbuilders, and turn-based board games. You start with basic resource gatherers and slowly expand your tech tree to produce attacking and defensive units. No RNG or P2W: The best part? There is literally no luck involved. No random card draws, no top-decking, and absolutely no pay-to-win mechanics. All gameplay-relevant units are available right from the start. If you win, you earned it. If you lose, it is entirely your fault. Single Player & AI: The puzzle modes and combat scenarios are fantastic for learning the basics, and the AI is surprisingly smart and challenging. The Drawbacks: The learning curve is brutal. It can be mentally exhausting after just a couple of matches because every single click matters. Also, be aware that the campaign DLC was left unfinished by the developers, so I recommend sticking to the free version and multiplayer.

Prismata is a strategy game that mixes ideas from card games, real time strategy and tabletop games, but it does not really play like any of them. I build up an economy, create units and then use them to attack my opponent, all through turn based battles. What I like most is that there is no luck deciding whether my plan works. If I make a bad decision, it is on me. The combat is probably the strongest part for me. Every match gives me a different selection of extra units to work with, so I have to figure out a strategy instead of simply following the same build every time. Some units are focused on gathering resources while others are designed for attacking or defending, and working out how they fit together can get surprisingly complicated. I also like how quickly the matches can develop. I can spend a few turns building my economy and then suddenly have to react to an attack or find a way to break through a defense. There are no random card draws or pre built decks deciding what I get, which makes the battles feel much more like a test of planning and adapting. There is a lot of single player content too. The free version includes the first episode of the campaign, while ther…

Prismata is one of the most unique strategy games I have played. The mix of RTS and card game mechanics works surprisingly well and every match feels different. No RNG no pay to win just pure strategy and smart decisions.

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
