Iris and the Giant

Unfortunately I encountered a game breaking bug about three hours in, and upon further inspection it seems there are a LOT of them scattered around the game but the devs stopped updating about five years ago. Loved the art style, the mechanics are interesting, but I can't bring myself to try to finish a game that constantly breaks and makes me either restart or figure out a fix.

Very addicting. Not the most complex deckbuilder, but still very enjoyable.

This game was definitely a lot of fun and quite a challenge, I really enjoyed achievement hunting it too. I would recommend it to anyone who likes strategy / puzzle games and rougelike games and wants an actually challenging one!

This is definitely not the game for me, I really dislike this sort of narrative heavy approach - sorry but I just don't care for your character. I also dislike turn based combat, it's the lowest form of game system, imo. Yet this game, has a very addictive loop. I dislike it, but I have to accept that even though I play it through gritted teeth, I keep coming back to it, for now at least. It also feels totally random, I get that you are meant to build your hand, and use the rogue like character buffs to progress, but it doesn't feel flexible enough to me to feel like that actually matters. So, yeah, this is a "yes" but only because I really dislike the game (because of it's genre and storytelling) yet find the gameplay loop surprisingly compelling.
