[The Black Sword]

After the Watcher got me playing Slay the Spire again I was looking around for similar games and I've been playing a lot of Monster Train for the last week.

The deckbuilding components are clearly modelled on StS, you have a starter deck and you slowly build it up after each encounter. There is an equivalent of the Ascension levels that I'm climbing, making the game slightly more difficult each time.

The combat system is very different though, it is mostly minion based and there are 3 different levels/lanes you fight on adding a fair bit of positioning to the game. Each fight you face waves of enemies before a final boss fight where you usually need to have some sort of engine built up. So there's a couple of areas your deck needs to be able to address. 

The replayability is just through the roof, you pair 2 of 5 factions together each run, and you very much have to adapt to what you're given. I don't think I've played the same strategy more than twice so far. It's a lot of fun!

I strongly recommend Monster Train as well, picked it up while on sale and it’s been hard to stop playing sometimes. Unlike in a lot of other games like this, the enemy phase happens first each turn, so you typically need an actual plan for tanking and mitigation, and the way bosses are set up to keep fighting in each room while normal enemies exchange blows once and then keep ascending is really clever to encourage different ways of scaling.

Currently on covenant 7 of 25, rocking a nice sub-50% record. I keep building decks with too much scaling and not enough front loaded damage and crowd control, so I die to incidental damage from tanky normal enemies, who start getting real tough in level 7 and 8.

I've been playing Subnautica lately. It's not so fast paced that having the use of only one eye makes it impossible to play but it's still engaging enough that I don't mind playing it standing up for hours at a time (unlike some of the strategy games I'd been trying. I'm looking at you Old World).

It's so much fun, and after many hours of playing I'm finally starting to get over the anxiety (or maybe just get used to it).

I'm 40 hours in and finally starting to actually feel comfortable exploring the deep places, and building bases down there as well.

I've been playing Starcom: Nexus which is basically like a more serious Space Pirates and Zombies. Probably the best game in that genre but less good than SPAZ. Battlestation Baringer is also a pretty good riff on that genre.

I've been playing CnC Remastered and TD is a serious slog compared to Red Alert.

I've been Fortresscraft Evolved but its a serious slog in the mid-late game.

Also recommend Monster Train. 

Don't know how many of you are butterlords, but I also have been playing Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord. Maybe 200 hours in it. It is in early access, and has a lot of work still to be done on it, but I love it.

Heroes of might and magic 3, Stronghold 2, and some Everquest

Haven't been able to play much lately, but when I do have a minute

* Old World - obviously
* Long War 2 - never got round to playing it after it had numerous issues on release, wanted to finish at least one game before XCOM3
* Final Fantasy 7 - also never played it, and since a lot of discussions around the Remake were full of references to the original, felt I had to experience it myself to understand everything better

Also Monster Train seems to be the best of the crop of single-player card games which followed the success of Slay the Spire, I didn't get a chance to play it myself yet, but saw a fair amount of Twitch and it does look intriguing

I can recommend Griftlands, put out by Klei. I haven't unlocked the harder difficulties, so I can't promise it'll be as challenging as Slay the Spire, but it is a delightful RPG disguised as a card game. (Or vice versa.)

I saw it and bought it today, I’ll install overnight and give a shot tomorrow.

Griftlands is very good! Legit RPG story and interesting fun deck building mechanics. It''s not a fast run like Spire or Train, more of a story based build with exposition and development. I've played maybe 2 hours still on my first playthrough.
