Not so much a city builder as it is a puzzle game. Not a lot of strategy involved sometimes, just placing buildings in certain locations to get the right score -- all to scrap it all and move to a new island within minutes.

You will lose a month of productivity when playing this for the first time.

This game has an incredible amount of depth. Every match I've played has been a nail biter. Every card feels balanced, fair and fits a very skill-focused meta. I initially thought the amount of RNG would be a dealbreaker in this one, but everything (with the exception of one card - Cheating Death, which isn't played often) has been built up to encourage a reaction-based gameplay experience that rewards thinking ahead. This game brings back great memories of playing MTG in college, and does without all of the frustrations that Hearthstone caused me (grinding and loot boxes). $20 is a totally reasonable price, considering the value of packs and cards, and the amount that is available on launch. Valve has a great track record of continuing support for their multiplayer experiences, and I have no doubts they will be treating Artifact with the same level of care. Progression systems, chat, and more features are in the works, but there's still plenty to tide you over until then. Would absolutely recommend.

A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AMAZING rouge-like that everyone needs to play at least once. Has an incredible multiplayer and insane amount of gameplay thanks to the amount of depth that the developers put into honing all the items and abilities. If you pick this one up, let me know and I'll route you to my hamachi server!
